GHS Hazard Statement Code(s)
The Hazard Statement is a phrase assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature of the hazards of a substance or mixture, including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard (CLP Regulation, Article 2(5)).
Hazard Statements are assigned a unique alphanumerical code which consists of one letter and three numbers, as follows:
- the letter "H" (for "hazard statement")
- a number designating the number of hazard to which the hazard statement is assigned according to the numbering of the different parts of the CLP, as follows:
- "2" for physical hazards
- "3" for health hazards
- "4" for environmental hazards
- two numbers corresponding to the sequential numbering of hazards arising from the intrinsic properties of the substance or mixture, such as explosivity (codes from 200 to 210), flammability (codes from 220 to 230), etc.
The following hazard statements are in place (in brackets: the hazard class and hazard category within a hazard class):
