  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.

  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).

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS GENERAL No toxicity information is available on this specific preparation; this health hazard assessment is based on information that is available on its components. INGESTION The principal toxic effect will likely be due to ethylene glycol which causes kidney damage. Symptoms of ingestion may include abdominal discomfort and pain, dizziness, malaise, lumbar pain, CNS depression and other symptoms related to ethylene glycol ingestion. Severe kidney damage accompanies gross overexposure. May aggravate existing kidney disorders. EYE CONTACT Can cause irritation, burning, redness and tearing. SKIN ABSORBTION Ethylene glycol butyl ether is toxic by skin absorption. Repeated or prolonged contact can cause irritation, redness, drying, cracking or dermatitis. INHALATION Can cause irritation to nose, throat and lungs, headache, nausea and vomiting and central nervous system depression. Ethylene glycol butyl ether is toxic if inhaled at high concentrations. Persons with impaired lung function or asthma may experience breathing problems. Prolonged exposures can cause blood disorders, liver or kidney damage. OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE None known.

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS Ethylene glycol butyl ether is toxic by skin absorption. Repeated or prolonged contact can cause irritation, redness, drying, cracking or dermatitis. Prolonged exposures can cause blood disorders, liver or kidney damage. This product contains materials listed by the state of California as known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

    • Carcinogenicity
