2-Chloro-5-sec-hexadecylhydroq… hazard class and category

GHS hazard classes 2-Chloro-5-sec-hexadecylhy… falls into
Hazard class Category From code Pictogram
Skin corrosion/irritation GHS chapter 3.2 Category 2 H315 GHS07
Serious eye damage/eye irritation GHS chapter 3.3 Category 2A H319 GHS07
Skin sensitisation GHS chapter 3.4 Category 1 or 1A or 1B H317 GHS07
Hazardous to the aquatic environment - chronic GHS chapter 4.1 Category 3 H412

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 2-Chloro-5-sec-hexadecylhy…

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 2-Chloro-5-sec-hexadec… 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

2-Chloro-5-sec-hexadecylhydroq… precautionary statements

CLP Annex VI assigns 14 precautionary statements to 2-Chloro-5-sec-hexadecylhy…. 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.

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.
