Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the classification and labelling of flammable liquids according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). It specifically covers liquids with a flash point not exceeding 93°C. This standard is mandatory for chemical manufacturers and suppliers dealing with flammable liquids in the Chinese market. It replaces the previous GB 20581-2006.
Technical requirements
GB 30000.7-2013 establishes the criteria for classifying flammable liquids into four distinct hazard categories based on their physical properties, specifically flash point and initial boiling point. Chapters 4 and 6 of this standard are designated as mandatory. The standard specifies the required label elements for each hazard category, including hazard pictograms, signal words (either "Danger" or "Warning"), and hazard statements. It also details the necessary precautionary statements covering general, prevention, response, storage, and disposal measures. Additionally, the standard mandates the inclusion of product identifiers and supplier identification on the chemical labels.
Testing methods
To determine the appropriate classification, the standard references specific testing methods for measuring flash point and initial boiling point. Flash point should primarily be determined using closed cup test methods (such as those outlined in ISO 2719 or ASTM D93). Initial boiling point can be determined using methods like ISO 3924 or ASTM D86. Accurate test data is essential for correct hazard categorization.
