2. Table 3. GHS Hazard Classification (Product - Sao Boso PJI Mix)
GHS Classification Category Hazard Statement Code(s) Hazard Statement(s)
Flam. Liq. 2 H225 Highly flammable liquid and vapor.
Acute Tox. (oral) 4 H302 Harmful if swallowed.
Skin irritant 2 H315 Causes skin irritation.
Eye Irrit. 1 H318 Causes serious eye irritation.
STOT SE: RTI 3 H335 May cause respiratory irritation.
STOT SE: NE 3 H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Classification of the Preparation/Mixture (Table 3)
Flammable liquids, Category 2, H225
Acute toxicity (oral), Category 4, H302
Skin corrosion/irritation, Category 2, H315
Serious eye damage/Eye irritation, Category 1, H318
Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Single exposure: Respiratory tract irritation, Category 3, H335
Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Single exposure: Narcotic effects, Category 3, H336
Indications of Danger: Highly flammable liquid. Irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory system.
Harmful if swallowed. Inhalation may cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.

Hazard Pictograms (see Table 1)
Signal word: Danger
Hazard statement(s)
H225: Highly flammable liquid and vapor.
H302: Harmful if swallowed.
H315: Causes skin irritation.

H335: May cause respiratory irritation.
Precautionary statement(s)
P101: If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand.
P102: Keep out of reach of children.
P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
P233: Keep container tightly closed.
P240: Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.
P243: Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P305 + P351 + P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses,
if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

P403 + P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to be in accordance with local/regional/national regulations.
Other hazards which do not result in classification: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Note:
In the above example (mixture classification), retain corrosive hazard pictogram ( ) if pH of mixture is either highly acidic
(pH ≤ 2.0) or highly basic/alkaline (pH ≥ 11.5) (refer to GHS criteria on corrosives).
