1 Code of Safe Practice <strong>for</strong> Solid Bulk Cargoes, IMO, 2005.<br />
(3) <strong>Guidance</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Classification</strong><br />
A) Judgment of Not applicable<br />
1) Gases and liquid substances shall be judged as “Not applicable”.<br />
2) Organic substances which do not contain oxygen, fluorine, or chlorine or which contain<br />
any of <strong>the</strong>se elements that are bound to carbon or hydrogen only shall be judged “Not<br />
applicable”.<br />
3) Inorganic substances not containing oxygen or any halogen element shall be judged “Not<br />
applicable”.<br />
B) <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 classification criteria of <strong>GHS</strong>2.14.2 are equivalent to <strong>the</strong> definition of UNRTDG<br />
<strong>Classification</strong> 5.1 “Solid“(UNRTDG2.5.2.2.2).<br />
In ERG, oxidative materials (including Liquids) are classified into Schedules 140, 141, 142, 143<br />
and 144, but it does not serve as a reference <strong>for</strong> this <strong>GHS</strong> classification. In EmS, oxidative<br />
materials (including Liquids) are classified into Schedule S-Q.<br />
(6)Sources of in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> classification results under conventional systems<br />
