Chemical hazards are typically classified according to internationally accepted classification standards, including the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), the European Union's Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Chemicals Regulations (CLP Regulations), and the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) HazCom standard. The following are some common types of chemical products and their English expressions:
1. Explosives -- explosives
2. Flammable gases
3. Aerosols -- aerosols
4. Oxidizing gases - Oxidizing gases
5. Gases under pressure - Gases under pressure
6. Flammable liquids - Flammable liquids
7. Flammable solids - Flammable solids
8. Self-reactive substances and mixtures
9. Pyrophoric liquids - Pyrophoric liquids
10. Pyrophoric solids - Pyrophoric solids
11. Self-heating substances and mixtures. 11. Self-heating substances and mixtures
12. Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases. 12. Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases
13. Oxidizing liquids - oxidizing liquids
14. Oxidizing solids - Oxidizing solids
15. Organic peroxides - organic peroxides
16. Corrosive to metals - Corrosive to metals
17. Acute toxicity - Acute toxicity
18. Skin corrosion/irritation - skin corrosion/irritation
19. Serious eye damage/eye irritation - serious eye damage/eye irritation
20. Respiratory or skin sensitization - respiratory tract or skin sensitization
21. Germ cell mutagenicity - germ cell mutagenicity
22. Carcinogenicity - Carcinogenicity
23. Reproductive toxicity - Reproductive toxicity
24. Specific target organ toxicity - single exposure. 24. Specific target organ toxicity - single exposure
25. Specific target organ toxicity - repeated exposure. 25. Specific target organ toxicity - repeated exposure
26. Aspiration hazard - Aspiration hazard
These classifications facilitate the adoption of appropriate safety measures in the production, storage, transportation and use of chemical products to protect human health and environmental safety.
