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 />

Category 1=UNRTDG・5.1Ⅰ(Solid)<br />

Category 3=UNRTDG・5.1Ⅲ(Solid)<br />

(Example of category 1)1504 SODIUM PEROXIDE<br />

2466 POTASSIUM SUPEROXIDE<br />

(Example of category 2)1439 AMMONIUM DICHROMATE<br />

1463 CHROMIUM TRIOXIDE, ANHYDROUS<br />

1493 SILVER NITRATE<br />

1496 SODIUM CHLORITE<br />

2719 BARIUM BROMATE<br />
