GHS08 Health Hazard
Danger or Warning Systemic health hazards.
Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals addresses classification of chemicals by types of hazard and proposes harmonized hazard communication elements, including labels and safety data sheets. It aims at ensuring that information on physical hazards and toxicity from chemicals be available in order to enhance the protection of human health and the environment during the handling, transport and use of these chemicals. The GHS also provides a basis for harmonization of rules and regulations on chemicals at national, regional and worldwide level, an important factor also for trade facilitation.
Germ cell mutagenicity (State route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard)
- Category 1A - Danger - H340 - May cause genetic defects
- Category 1B - Danger - H340 - May cause genetic defects
- Category 2 - Warning - H341 - Suspected of causing genetic defects
Carcinogenicity (State route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard)
- Category 1A - Danger - H350 - May cause cancer
- Category 1B - Danger - H350 - May cause cancer
- Category 2 - Warning - H351 - Suspected of causing cancer
Reproductive toxicity (state specific effect if known)(state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard)
- Category 1A - Danger
- H360 - May damage fertility or the unborn child.
