A sign that uses a yellow 'Instability' bar, which was never part of HMIS. ("Instability" is a NFPA 704 term.) Prior to 2002, with HMIS' third edition (HMIS III), both systems used the same colors, blue, red, yellow and white, and used the same criteria for 'flammability'/'Fire Hazard' and 'reactivity'.
Flammability 0: Will not burn. E.g. water code F: 1: Flammability 1: Must be pre-heated before ignition can occur. Flash point over 93 °C (200 °F). E.g. canola oil code F: 2: Flammability 2: Must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperature before ignition can occur. Flash point between 38 and 93 °C (100 and 200 °F).
Health 3: Short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury. E.g. chlorine gas code H: 4: Health 4: Very short exposure could cause death or major residual injury. E.g. VX gas code F: 0: Flammability 0: Will not burn. E.g. water code F: 1: Flammability 1: Must be pre-heated before ignition can occur. Flash point over 93 °C (200 ...
Flammable gases – Gases which at 20 °C and a standard pressure of 101.3 kPa: are ignitable when in a mixture of 13 percent or less by volume with air; or; have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the lower flammable limit. Alternative sign. Division 2.1 Non-flammable non-toxic gases – Gases which:
The pictogram for harmful substances of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.. The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is an internationally agreed-upon standard managed by the United Nations that was set up to replace the assortment of hazardous material classification and labelling schemes previously used around ...
Second, medical roots generally go together according to language, i.e., Greek prefixes occur with Greek suffixes and Latin prefixes with Latin suffixes. Although international scientific vocabulary is not stringent about segregating combining forms of different languages, it is advisable when coining new words not to mix different lingual roots.
Hazard statements form part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). They are intended to form a set of standardized phrases about the hazards of chemical substances and mixtures that can be translated into different languages.
