Creosote oil, acenaphthene… hazard class and category

GHS hazard classes Creosote oil, acenaphthene… falls into
Hazard class Category From code Pictogram
Carcinogenicity GHS chapter 3.6 Category 1A or 1B H350 GHS08

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.
