Thallium thiocyanate pictograms and signal word
Thallium thiocyanate hazard class and category
| Hazard class | Category | From code | Pictogram |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acute toxicity - oral GHS chapter 3.1 | Category 1 or 2 | H300 | GHS06 |
| Acute toxicity - dermal GHS chapter 3.1 | Category 4 | H312 | GHS07 |
| Acute toxicity - inhalation GHS chapter 3.1 | Category 1 or 2 | H330 | GHS06 |
| Specific target organ toxicity - repeated exposure GHS chapter 3.9 | Category 2 | H373 | 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.
Thallium thiocyanate hazard statements (H-codes)
| Code | Hazard statement |

| H300 | Fatal if swallowed. |
| H312 | Harmful in contact with skin. |
| H373 | May cause damage to organs <or state all organs affected, if known> through prolonged or repeated exposure <state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard>. |
| H411 | Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. |

Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Thallium thiocyanate
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 Thallium thiocyanate 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
Thallium thiocyanate precautionary statements
CLP Annex VI assigns 15 precautionary statements to Thallium thiocyanate. 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
Thallium thiocyanate 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.

What is the CAS number of Thallium thiocyanate?
The CAS number of Thallium thiocyanate is 3535-84-0. Its EC number is 222-571-7.
What is the chemical formula of Thallium thiocyanate?
The molecular formula of Thallium thiocyanate is CNSTl and its molecular weight is 262.47 g/mol.
What does a Thallium thiocyanate label have to show?
Under CLP Annex VI the label for Thallium thiocyanate carries the pictograms Skull and crossbones, Health hazard and Environment and the signal word is Danger.
Is Thallium thiocyanate flammable?
CLP Annex VI assigns Thallium thiocyanate no flammability hazard class. That is not a statement that it cannot burn: the harmonised list only records the hazards that were assessed for it.
Is Thallium thiocyanate a carcinogen?
CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Thallium thiocyanate. Annex VI is a list of agreed classifications, not a list of substances found safe, so this is an absence of a classification rather than a clean bill of health.
