Disodium hexachloroplatinate hazard class and category

GHS hazard classes Disodium hexachloroplatina… falls into
Hazard class Category From code Pictogram
Acute toxicity - oral GHS chapter 3.1 Category 3 H301 GHS06
Serious eye damage/eye irritation GHS chapter 3.3 Category 1 H318 GHS05
Respiratory sensitisation GHS chapter 3.4 Category 1 or 1A or 1B H334 GHS08
Skin sensitisation GHS chapter 3.4 Category 1 or 1A or 1B H317 GHS07

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 Disodium hexachloroplatina…

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 Disodium hexachloropla… 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.
