1 Classification and labelling of dangerous substances and preparations Dangerous properties Letters indicating the dang. property or indication of danger Explosive E R 2; R 3 RPhrases Oxidising O R 7; R 8; R 9 Symbol and Indication of Danger Explosive Oxidising General Definition solid, liquid, pasty or gelatinous substances and preparations which may also react exothermically without atmospheric oxygen thereby quickly evolving gases, and which, under defined test conditions, detonate, quickly deflagrate or upon heating explode when partially confined substances and preparations which give rise to a highly exothermic reaction in contact with other substances, particularly flammable substances Extremely flammable F+ R 12 Extremely flammable liquid substances and preparations having an extremely low flashpoint and a low boilingpoint and gaseous substances and preparations which are flammable in contact with air at ambient temperature and pressure

2 Highly flammable F R 11; R 15; R 17 Flammable R 10 Highly flammable substances and preparations which may become hot and finally catch fire in contact with air at ambient temperature without any application of energy, or solid substances and preparations which may readily catch fire after brief contact with a source of ignition and which continue to burn or to be consumed after removal of the source of ignition, or liquid substances and preparations having a very low flashpoint, or substances and preparations which, in contact with water or damp air, evolve highly flammable gases in dangerous quantities liquid substances and preparations having a low flashpoint Very toxic T+ R 26; R 27; R 28; R39/exposure route Very toxic substances and preparations which in very low quantities cause death or acute or chronic damage to health when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via the skin T R 23; R 24; R 25 R 39/exposure route R 48/exposure route substances and preparations which in low quantities cause death or acute or chronic damage to health when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via the skin Xn R 20; R 21; R 22 R 65 R 68/exposure route R 48/exposure route substances and preparations which may cause death or acute or chronic damage to health when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via the skin

3 Corrosive C R 35; R 34 Corrosive substances and preparations which may, on contact with living tissues, destroy them Xi R 36; R 41; R 38 R 37 noncorrosive substances and preparations which, through immediate, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin or mucous membrane, may cause inflammation Sensitising R 42 R 43 inhaled or if they penetrate the skin, are capable of eliciting a reaction of hypersensitization such that on further exposure to the substance or preparation, characteristic adverse effects are produced Carcinogenic Carc. Cat. Categories 1, 2 R 45; R 49 Category 3 R 40 substances or preparations which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate the skin, may induce cancer or increase its incidence
