1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl… hazard class and category
| Hazard class | Category | From code | Pictogram |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organic peroxides or Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Category Type C and D or Type E and F | H242 | GHS02 |
| Acute toxicity - oral GHS chapter 3.1 | Category 4 | H302 | GHS07 |
| Skin corrosion/irritation GHS chapter 3.2 | Category 1A or 1B or 1C | H314 | GHS05 |
| Hazardous to the aquatic environment - acute GHS chapter 4.1 | Category 1 | H400 | GHS09 |
| Hazardous to the aquatic environment - chronic GHS chapter 4.1 | Category 1 | H410 | GHS09 |
Where two values are shown with “or”, the hazard statement is shared by more than one category or by more than one class, and the code alone does not say which. H272, for example, belongs to oxidising liquids and to oxidising solids — the physical state decides. The binding answer for a specific entry is in the CLP Annex VI table itself.

Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-napht…
A Safety Data Sheet is written for a product, not for a substance: the supplier of the grade you actually buy issues it, so two suppliers of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-n… issue two different sheets. That is why there is no single authoritative SDS for a substance to download — what there is, is the job of collecting the sheets for the products you hold and keeping them current as suppliers revise them.
04 · Precautionary statements
1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl… precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 11 precautionary statements to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-napht…. They are grouped the way a label groups them: what to do before handling, what to do when something has already happened, how to store it and how to dispose of it.
Prevention
What to do before and during handling so the hazard never happens.
Response
What to do once exposure, spillage or fire has already happened.
Disposal
What has to happen to the contents and the empty container.

05 · Names in the regulation
1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl… name in 23 EU languages
CLP Annex VI Part 3 is published in every language edition of the regulation, and the identification column is written out in each of them. Nothing below is translated by us: each line is the name as that edition prints it. Under Art. 18(2) the substance name from Annex VI is a lawful product identifier, so this is the wording to put on a label going to that market — and where the cell lists several designations, any one of them qualifies.

All 23 language editions of Annex VI carry this entry. Irish is the twenty-fourth official EU language and has no line here for a different reason: no consolidated CLP text has ever been published in Irish, so there is no Irish edition of Annex VI to quote a name from.

07 · Handling and storage
1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl… storage and handling
1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl… reactivity
Most alkyl monohydroperoxides are liquid. The explosivity of the lower members (e.g., methyl hydroperoxide, or possibly due to traces of the dialkyl peroxides) decrease with increasing chain length and branching [Bretherick 2nd ed. 1979 p. 10]. Tetralin hydroperoxide explodes on superheating the liquid [Hock et al. Ber. 1933. pp. 66, 61]. Its interaction with strong reducing agents, like lithium tetrahydroaluminate, is vigorously exothermic.
