GBP 57 Hazardous substances labels and hazardous materials identification What is the difference between hazardous substances and hazardous goods? Hazardous substances are substances and compositions that are classified as dangerous based on GHS/CLP Regulation (GHS, English: Globally Harmonized System of Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Chemicals (CLP)). These substances are marked with the appropriate hazardous substance identification. If there is a transport with a relatively large amount of this hazardous substance, it must be checked whether it is a hazardous goods transport. This must be signalled using hazardous materials identification. Hazardous substances labels: The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals from the United Nations is a system that is standardised around the world. OLD NEW This applicable method is intended to reduce the risks to health and the environment both in the production and also during the transportation and the use of hazardous substances. The CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Corrosive effect is used to implement the international GHS in European law. Since 01.06.2017, chemicals have had to be identified according to GHS/CLP. All hazard symbols have been revised Exclamation mark and graphically modified. They are primarily distinguished from the old square symbols with an orange Diagonal cross background by the diamond with a red border and a white background. The diagonal cross (symbol with the Health hazard character Xn or Xi) is no longer used in the new regulations. It is replaced by the „corrosive effect“, „health hazard“ and „exclamation mark“ pictograms. A further example of a new sign is the gas bottle (for compressed substances). Hazardous materials identification: The packaging and identification of the products plays an important role primarily during transportation. Due to national and international regulations regarding the carriage of dangerous goods (for short ADR: Accord européen relatif au transport international des merchandises Dangereuses par Route), it is mandatory that hazardous materials identifications are applied. Correct identification with the relevant UN number and the potential danger (e.g. „explosive“, „corrosive“, etc.) is required. In general, the identification of hazardous goods transports consists of three aspects: ■ Warning and hazardous materials identification directly on the packaging. ■ Hazard labels and warning signs for marking the vehicle or transport container. ■ The hazardous goods are described in the accompanying documents. Hazardous goods classes: Class 1 Explosive substances, e.g. fireworks Class 2 Gases, gas mixtures, substances that contain these, e.g. nitrogen Class 3 Flammable liquid substances such as fuels Flammable solid substances, spontaneously combustible substances, substances which produce flammable gases when they come into Class 4 contact with water Class 5 Flammable (oxidising) substances, organic peroxides, e.g. fertilisers Class 6 Toxic substances, infectious substances, e.g. pesticides Class 7 Radioactive substances Class 8 Corrosive substances, e.g. cleaning agents Class 9 Various hazardous substances and items, e.g. asbestos Special label Environmentally hazardous substances, limited amount (up to 30 kg) 507
