Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
GB 30000.14-2013 specifies the classification and labelling requirements for oxidizing liquids in China. It applies to chemical substances and mixtures that are liquid and can cause or contribute to the combustion of other materials, typically by yielding oxygen. This standard is mandatory for manufacturers and suppliers handling oxidizing liquids in the Chinese market. It aligns with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) (Rev. 4).
Technical requirements
The standard establishes the criteria for classifying oxidizing liquids into three hazard categories based on their ability to cause combustion. It defines the specific parameters for testing mixtures with cellulose to determine the pressure rise time compared to reference substances. Chapters 4 and 6 are designated as mandatory provisions. The standard details the required label elements, including hazard pictograms, signal words (Danger or Warning), and hazard statements. It specifies that pictograms must use a black symbol on a white background with a red border. Additionally, it outlines the requirements for precautionary statements, product identifiers, and supplier identification on the chemical labels. The standard also provides guidance on the decision logic for classification, noting that known transport and use experience may take precedence over test results in case of discrepancies.
Testing methods
Classification testing must be conducted according to Test O.2 as described in Part III, section 34.4.2 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria (Rev. 5). The test evaluates the average pressure rise time of a 1:1 mixture (by mass) of the test substance with cellulose, comparing it against reference mixtures such as perchloric acid, sodium chlorate solution, and nitric acid solution.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 30000.14-2013?
It regulates chemical substances and mixtures classified as oxidizing liquids, which are liquids that may yield oxygen and cause or contribute to the combustion of other materials.
Are there any updates from the previous version of this standard?
Yes, GB 30000.14-2013 replaces GB 20589-2006. The update aligns the technical content with the fourth revised edition of the UN GHS, modifies the standard's name, and restructures the classification criteria and labelling elements into normative appendices.
How does GB 30000.14-2013 differ from international standards?
There are no significant technical differences; the standard is technically consistent with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) (Rev. 4) and references the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria for testing procedures.
