otherwise specified: a generic term for unspecifiable substances, for example, "all other Explosives")substances is left to the judgment by the consignor. Since such classification is not guaranteed to be based on all properties, classification based on UN numbers with N.O.S. shall not be conducted in principle. However, categorization may be performed if it can be confirmed on the basis of information from prescribed review documents and in light of legal regulations in Japan. ○ Precedence in TDG Classification In TDG classification, when a substance (or mixture) meets the criteria for inclusion in more than one class, its class is determined in accordance with the order of precedence based on risks. Accordingly, only a part of risks of a substance may be reflected on the TDG classification. Since, in GHS classification, classification must be carried out based on all risks, care should be taken not to classify the “neglected risks” as “Not classified” based on the TDG classification. In this guidance, the judgment is made by utilizing the tables below. ・ UNRTDG 15thEd.(2007) 2.0.3 Precedence of hazard characteristic (P.50-51)、・ IMDGC 2006Ed. 2.0.3 Precedence of hazard characteristic (P.37-38), or ・ the “Dangerous Goods Regulations, Annex 1, Recital 3”(see next page) However, for Toxic Substances (Class 6) and Corrosives (Class 8), in general, GHS classification shall not be based on TDG classification. The following descriptions are based on the table of the Dangerous Goods Regulations. As shown in the “Dangerous Goods Regulations, Annex 1, Recital 3”, Explosives, Self-reactive Substances and Mixtures, Pyrophoric Substances, and Organic Peroxides have the highest precedence. Substances belonging to theses classes shall be labeled “Classification not possible” if they do not fall under “Not applicable” in regard to other hazards(Flammable Substances, Self-heating Substances and Mixtures, Substances and mixtures which,in contact with water,emit flammable gases, and Oxidizing Substances) and if they can not be classified from their chemical structures, etc. Regarding classes other than those with the highest precedence, the order of precedence shall be judged according to the table of the Dangerous Goods Regulations, Annex 1, Recital 3. 28
The “Dangerous Goods Regulations, Annex 1, Recital 3” If a substance is judged to meet the criteria for more than one class or category, its class or category shall be determined as stipulated below. (1) If a substance is judged to meet the criteria for any of the following classes or categories, the class or category in question shall take precedence, and other classes or categories shall be deemed subsidiary. (i) Explosives, (ii) Gases Under Pressure, (iii) Combustible Substances(only when a substance is judged to meet the criteria of the Recital 2 (4) (ii) for Self-reactive substances) (iv) Pyrophoric Substances, (v) Organic Peroxides, (vi) Toxic Substances (only when the substance is judged to meet the criteria for Toxic substances of the Recital 2 (6) (і) of Packing Groups by inhalation toxicity of vaporizing substances) (2) In cases other than (1), the following class or category shall take precedence, and other class or category shall be subsidiary. (3) If a substance is judged to meet the criteria for both of Flammable Gases Under Pressure and Toxic Gases Under Pressure), Toxic Gases Under Pressure shall take precedence, and Flammable Gases Under Pressure shall be subsidiary. (4) The Packing Group shall be the one with the lowest numbering among Packing Groups. Notes for the table in the next page are given below: Note 1: The numbers in the table denote the following classes or categories. - 3 Flammable Liquids - 4.1 Combustible Substances - 4.2 Pyrophoric Substances - 4.3 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases - 5.1 Oxidizing Substances - 6.1 Toxic Substances - 8 Corrosives Note 2: "I", "II" or "III" in the table each indicates the case where the Packing Group is judged to be I, II, or III, respectively. Note 3: "Dermal", "oral", or "inhalation" in the table each indicates the case where the judging criteria is the Recital 2 (6) (і). Note 4: "*" in the table indicates that the value in question shall be "6.1" for pesticides and 29
