美國消防協(xié)會NFPA-危害級數(shù)編寫規(guī)定

1、精選優(yōu)質(zhì)文檔-傾情為你奉上National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)Chemical Hazard Identification SystemThis system is based on the NFPA 704M Hazard Identification system which utilizes a four color diamond label and 0-4 numerical hazard rating. The Diamond has an area for health hazards (blue) and area for fl

2、ammability hazards (red), an area for reactivity hazards (yellow), and an area for special hazard notations.Health - Numerical Rating:0 - Minimal hazardMedian Lethal Dose (LD50) Rat, oral >2,000 mg/kg, or Rabbit, skin >2,000 mg/kg, or Rat LC50 inhalation of gas or vapor >10,000 ppm, or mist

3、, fume, or dust >200,000 mg/m3 for one hour.1 - Slightly hazardous; Mild IrritantMedian Lethal Dose (LD50) Rat, oral >500 mg/kg, but <2,000 mg/kg, or Rabbit, skin >1,000 mg/kg, but <2,000 mg/kg, or Rat LC50 inhalation of gas or vapor >5,000 ppm, but<10,000 ppm, or mist, fume, or

4、 dust >10,000 mg/m3,but <200,000 mg/m3 for one hour.2 - Mild Toxic, or Strong IrritantMedian Lethal Dose (LD50) Rat, oral >50 mg/kg, but <500 mg/kg, or Rabbit, skin >200 mg/kg, but <1,000 mg/kg, or Rat LC50 inhalation of gas or vapor >3,000 ppm, but<5,000 ppm, or mist, fume,

5、or dust >2,000 mg/m3,but <10,000 mg/m3 for one hour.3 - Highly Toxic; or Cancer Causing; or Chronic Toxicity; or CorrosiveMedian Lethal Dose (LD50) Rat, oral >5 mg/kg, but <50 mg/kg, or Rabbit, skin >50 mg/kg, but <200 mg/kg, or Rat LC50 inhalation of gas or vapor >1,000 ppm, bu

6、t<3,000 ppm, or mist, fume, or dust >500 mg/m3,but <2,000 mg/m3 for one hour.4 - Acutely Toxic. Deadly. Considered a "Poison".Median Lethal Dose (LD50) Rat, oral <5 mg/kg, or Rabbit, skin <50 mg/kg, or Rat LC50 inhalation of gas or vapor <1,000 ppm, ormist, fume, or dust

7、<500 mg/m3 for one hour.Flammability - Numbering Guidelines:0 - No Flash Point1 - Flash Point >200 °F (>79.1 °C)2 - Flash Point = 100-200 °F (37.8-79.1 °C)3 - Flash Point = 73-100 °F (23-37.8 °C) or <73 °F, but Boiling Point >100 °F (37.8 °

8、C)4 - Flash Point <73 °F (23 °C) and Boiling Point <100 °F (37.8 °C)Reactivity - Numbering Guidelines:0 - Minimal Hazard. Materials that are normally stable and are not water reactive.1 - Slight Hazard. Materials, which can become unstable at elevated temperatures or which

9、may react with water with the release of some energy, but not violently.2 - Moderate Hazard. Materials, which are normally unstable and readily undergo violent chemical reaction, but which do not detonate. This includes materials, which react violently with water.3 - Serious Hazard. Materials which

10、are of themselves detonable, but which require a strong initiating force or which must be heated under confinement or are sensitive to thermal or mechanical shock at elevated temperatures or which react explosively with water.4 - Severe Hazard. Materials which in themselves can detonate at normal te

11、mperature and pressure, including those which are sensitive to thermal or mechanical shock at normal temperature and pressure.Hazard Code Criteria:If the bottom square is blank, the kit or component contains materials with no special hazards.CA - Carcinogen. This kit contains a reagent which has mor

12、e than 0.1% of a chemical regarded as a potential or known carcinogen. A material is considered a "carcinogen" if it either causes cancer in humans, or, because it causes cancer in animals, is considered capable of causing cancer in humans. A material is considered a carcinogen if:1. The I

13、nternational Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated and found it a carcinogen or potential carcinogen;2. The National Toxicology Program's (NTP) Annual Report on Carcinogens lists it as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen;3. OSHA regulates it as a carcinogen;4. One positive study ha

14、s been published.CO - Corrosive. One or all of the reagents may be considered corrosive. A "corrosive" is a chemical that causes visible destruction of or irreversible alterations in living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact, or which causes a severe corrosion rate in steel o

15、r aluminum.I - Irritant. One or all of the reagents contain a chemical, which may be irritating to the eyes, skin, and/or upper respiratory tract. An "irritant" is a non-corrosive material that causes a reversible inflammatory effect on living tissue by chemical action at the site of conta

16、ct as a function of concentration or duration of exposure. A substance capable of causing a reversible or irreversible inflammatory effect to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, or lungs.Ox - Oxidizer. The Department of Transportation (DOT) defines an oxidizer or oxidizing material as a substance that yie

17、lds oxygen readily to cause or enhance the combustion (oxidation) of other materials.PB - Blood Product. One or all of the reagents has human blood, human blood components, or products made from human blood and should be considered a potential biohazard.T - Toxic. One or all of the reagents in the k

18、it are toxic. Please refer to definitions of health hazard data for further explanation.S - Sensitizer. The kit contains a substance that on first exposure causes little or no reaction in humans or test animals, but upon repeated exposure may cause a marked response not necessarily limited to the contact site. Skin sensitization is the most common form. Respiratory sensitization to a few chemicals also occurs.W - Water Reactive. This symbol normally has a straight line drawn horizontally through the middle. However, our dat
