Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the classification and labelling of pyrophoric solids according to the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). It is mandatory for manufacturers and suppliers handling these specific chemicals. It specifically covers solid substances that ignite within 5 minutes of contact with air.
Technical requirements
The standard establishes the classification criteria for pyrophoric solids, defining them as solids that ignite spontaneously in air within a short period. Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 of this standard are mandatory. It aligns with the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. For labelling requirements, the standard specifies the use of designated hazard pictograms, signal words, and hazard statements. The signal word 'Danger' must be used for Category 1 pyrophoric solids. Suppliers must ensure all label elements are clearly displayed. Additionally, it outlines the necessity of precautionary statements, product identifiers, and supplier identification on the label. These elements are crucial for communicating the physical hazards and ensuring safe handling and storage of the chemicals.
Testing methods
Classification testing must be conducted using test method N.2 as described in Part III, subsection 33.3.1.4 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. This test determines if the solid substance ignites within 5 minutes of exposure to air. Testing must use the substance in the physical shape as supplied or transported.
