3) Inorganic substances not containing oxygen or a halogen element shall be judged “Not<br />
applicable”.<br />
B) Judgment of Not Classified<br />
Regarding oxidizing liquids or oxidizing solids, if it is confirmed based on review<br />
documents that a substance to be assessed is “reductive material”, fill in “<strong>Classification</strong><br />
result” with “Not classified”, and fill in “<strong>Classification</strong> Grounds” with “Reductive material”.<br />
C) <strong>Classification</strong> based on TDG <strong>Classification</strong><br />
If <strong>the</strong> name of a substance is included in TDG classification, <strong>the</strong> substance shall be<br />
classified according to it. If not, it falls under “<strong>Classification</strong> not possible” in principle.<br />
(4)Data availability<br />
Few experimental data on oxidative materials have been published.<br />
(5)Comparison with conventional classification systems<br />
The definition in <strong>GHS</strong>2.13.2 is equivalent to that of UNRTDG <strong>Classification</strong> 5.1<br />
“Liquids”(UNRTDG2.5.2.3.2). In ERG, oxidative materials (including Solid) are classified into<br />
Schedules 140, 141, 142, 143 and 144, but it does not serve as a reference <strong>for</strong> this <strong>GHS</strong><br />
classification. In EmS, oxidative materials (including Solid) are classified into Schedule S-Q.<br />
(6)Sources of in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> classification results under conventional systems<br />
Category 1 =UNRTDG・5.1 I (Liquids)<br />
Category 2 =UNRTDG・5.1 II (Liquids)<br />
Category 3 =UNRTDG・5.1 III (Liquids)<br />
(Example of category 1)1873 PERCHLORIC ACID with more than 50% but not more than<br />
72% acid, by mass<br />
2495 IODINE PENTAFLUORIDE<br />
(Example of category 2)2014 HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, AQUEOUS SOLUTION with not<br />
less than 20% but not more than 60% hydrogen peroxide (stabilized as<br />
necessary)<br />
2427 POTASSIUM CHLORATE, AQUEOUS SOLUTION<br />
(Example of category 3)2984 HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, AQUEOUS SOLUTION with not<br />
less than 8% but less than 20% hydrogen peroxide (stabilized as necessary)<br />
