  The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.
  The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.

  Primary Chemical Name is the standard name assigned to a chemical substance. Chemical	Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture.  CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org We have assigned "ID numbers" (with 6 leading zeros or nines, e.g., 000000-xx-x , 888888-xx-x) or 999999-xx-x) for blends and chemicals that do not have CAS numbers.  CAS No./ID	Percent of chemical in preparation. % Conc.

   UN Global Harmonization Classification

  Hazard Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). There are 4 categories of Hazard Codes:

  • Physical Hazard Codes (H200 series)
  • Health Hazard Codes (H300 series)
  • Environmental Hazard Codes (H400 series)
  • Supplementary Hazard Codes (EUH series)

  Hazard Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.

  Precautionary Code

  Pictogram

  SVHC is a substance (identified by the European Chemicals Agency) that may have serious and often irreversible effects on human health and the environment. SVHC are defined in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (“the REACH Regulation”) and include substances which are:
  1.  Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR), meeting the criteria for classification in category 1 or 2 in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or in category 1a or 1b in accordance with EC No 1272/2008This directive was recently replaced by the new EU regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
  2.  Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) or very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) according to the criteria in Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation, or
  3.  Identified, on a case-by-case basis, from scientific evidence as causing probable serious effects to human health or the environment of an equivalent level of concern as those above (e.g. endocrine disrupters).

    • Warnings

      Keep out of reach of children. Precautionary Statements: Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals. WARNING: Causes substantial but temporary eye injury. Do not get in eyes. Harmful if swallowed. Use of this product may cause skin reactions in rare cases. Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. FLAMMABLE. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS Health Hazard Data Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation, eye, skin contact and ingestion. Systemic & Other Effects: May cause CNS disturbances. There have been a handful of isolated cases of adverse systemic effects associated with excessive expose to DEET. Most of these cases have involved long-term high dosage use of DEET on children. Acute Inhalation: Vapors and mist may irritate the nose and throat. Inhalation of higher concentrations may cause headaches, nausea, coma and other central nervous system effects including death. Eye Contact: Causes moderate eye irritation. Liquid and mist can severely irritate or damage the eyes and cause corneal burns. Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation in rare cases. Do not apply over cuts, wounds or irritated skin. Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Swallowing large amounts causes headaches, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea and perhaps unconsciousness. Ingestion of ethyl alcohol may be fatal. Small amounts aspirated into respiratory system during ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury possibly progressing to death. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Persons with pre-existing skin disorder, eye problems or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS No information provided.

    • Carcinogenicity

      From MSDS Ingredients listed by NTP, OSHA or IARC as Carcinogens or Potential Carcinogens: None

    • Handling information

      From MSDS Store in cool, dry location away from fire, flame or sparks. Do not spray on face. Avoid excess inhalation. Do not take internally. Keep out of reach of children. Read and follow directions on product label. Good practice requires that gross amounts of any chemical be removed from the skin as practical, especially before eating or smoking.

    • Disposal information

      From MSDS Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage and disposal. If empty: Do not reuse this container. Place in trash or offer for recycling if available. If partly filled: Call your local solid waste agency (or 1-800-CLEANUP) for disposal instructions. Never place unused product down any indoor or outdoor drain.

    • First Aid

      From MSDS Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. Skin: Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Oral: Call poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
