EU-specific statement
EUH006 — Explosive with or without contact with air
EUH statements are supplementary European elements with no UN GHS equivalent — they appear on EU labels only. No substance with a harmonised EU classification carries this code.

EUH006 in the 24 official EU languages
EUH006 was deleted from CLP Annex II, so there is no current official wording
The consolidated regulation no longer prints this code, and the language versions follow it — a deleted code loses its official wording in all 24 languages at once. That does not make the code meaningless: labels printed before the deletion legally carried it, and safety data sheets still quote it. See the legal-status table below for the edition that removed it and for the code that replaced it, if there is one.
03 · Legal status
Where EUH006 is current
GHS is a United Nations model text, revised every two years, and each jurisdiction adopts a revision on its own timetable. A code can be legally current in one system and deleted in another — that is normal, not an error.
| Jurisdiction | Basis | Status of EUH006 |
|---|---|---|
| EU CLP | Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 CLP Annex IV, Part 2 (consolidated) | withdrawn Deleted without a direct replacement. |
| US OSHA HazCom | 29 CFR 1910.1200 Appendix C UN GHS Rev.7 (final rule of 20 May 2024) | not in this system |

04 · Substances
Substances carrying EUH006
No substance with a harmonised classification in CLP Annex VI carries this code. That does not mean it is unused — suppliers apply it to their own mixtures.

Wording quoted from the regulation named above. Substance counts come from harmonised classifications in CLP Annex VI — the statements on a real product also depend on the supplier's own classification. Always check the supplier safety data sheet.
