Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
GB 30000.16-2013 applies to the classification and labelling of organic peroxides in China. It is designed for chemical manufacturers and suppliers dealing with substances or mixtures containing the bivalent -O-O- structure. This standard is mandatory for all chemical products classified as organic peroxides entering the Chinese market. It aligns with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) (Rev. 4).
Technical requirements
The standard specifies the classification criteria for organic peroxides based on their effective oxygen content and hydrogen peroxide content. It categorizes organic peroxides into seven types (Type A to Type G) depending on their explosive properties, thermal stability, and behavior under specific laboratory conditions. Manufacturers must determine the correct type classification to ensure proper handling and storage. Additionally, the standard outlines temperature control requirements for specific types (B, C, D, E, F) based on their Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT). Strict temperature control is mandatory for substances with low SADT to prevent hazardous decomposition. For labelling, the standard mandates specific hazard pictograms, signal words (Danger or Warning), and hazard statements corresponding to each type. It also requires comprehensive precautionary statements covering general, prevention, response, storage, and disposal measures, ensuring full GHS compliance.
Testing methods
Classification and testing must be conducted according to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria (Rev. 5). The standard references Test Series A to H to determine properties such as explosive decomposition, rapid burning, and thermal explosion. The determination of the Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT) is also a critical testing procedure to establish temperature control parameters.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 30000.16-2013?
GB 30000.16-2013 regulates organic peroxides, which are liquid or solid organic substances containing the bivalent -O-O- structure. It applies to both pure substances and mixtures, unless the mixture's effective oxygen content and hydrogen peroxide content fall below the specified exemption thresholds.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 30000.16-2013?
Yes, GB 30000.16-2013 replaces GB 20591-2006. The main updates include modifying the standard's name, integrating the UN GHS (Rev. 4) technical content, restructuring the classification and labelling requirements, and adding informative appendices for label examples and precautionary statements.
How does GB 30000.16-2013 differ from international standards?
GB 30000.16-2013 is technically consistent with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) (Rev. 4). It references the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria for testing procedures, ensuring alignment with international dangerous goods transport and chemical classification frameworks.
The summary above provides a high-level overview of GB 30000.16-2013.
