03 · GHS classification

4,4'-Thiodianiline hazard classification

Harmonised classification under CLP Annex VI. This is the legally binding classification in the EU; other jurisdictions may differ.

4,4'-Thiodianiline hazard class and category

GHS hazard classes 4,4'-Thiodianiline falls into
Hazard class Category From code Pictogram
Acute toxicity - oral GHS chapter 3.1 Category 4 H302 GHS07
Carcinogenicity GHS chapter 3.6 Category 1A or 1B H350 GHS08
Hazardous to the aquatic environment - chronic GHS chapter 4.1 Category 2 H411 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 4,4'-Thiodianiline

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 4,4'-Thiodianiline 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

4,4'-Thiodianiline precautionary statements

CLP Annex VI assigns 11 precautionary statements to 4,4'-Thiodianiline. 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.

05 · Names in the regulation

4,4'-Thiodianiline 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. Where a cell is shown exactly as printed, the note beside it says why.

4,4'-Thiodianiline: reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.

An IARC group and a CLP classification answer different questions. IARC judges whether the evidence for cancer in humans is strong enough; CLP Annex VI is the legally binding EU classification. A substance can carry one and not the other.
