This section may reference local or international laws, and these laws may be about classification, hazard information, packaging, and labeling, among many other things. There are two subsections: (1) safety, health, and environmental regulations or legislation specific for the substance or mixture, and (2) chemical safety assessment. This section discusses regulations that have specific implications for the particular substance or mixture. There are seven subsections: (1) its UN number, (2) UN proper shipping name, (3) the substance’s transport hazard classifications, (4) its packing group, (5) any environmental hazards to be considered in transportation, (6) special precautions people should take around transport of the substance, and (7) rules for transport in bulk. This section describes the protocol that should be followed when transporting the substance or mixture. It may also include information about the waste class or code. There is only one subsection, which describes ways to safely dispose of the substance when it becomes waste and which rules and regulations to follow in doing so. This section covers methods of safe disposal for the substance. There are six subsections: (1) toxicity for certain animals, (2) persistence and degradability, including the environmental half-life, (3) the degree of bioaccumulative potential, (4) potential mobility in soil, (5) results of PBT and vPvB assessment, and (6) any other adverse effects not already covered. This section discusses the substance or mixture’s potential effects on the environment at large. There is only one section, in which toxicological information such as toxic dosages for some small animals (LD-50), potential routes of entry, and what will happen to the body in the case of accidental contact and/or ingestion. This section conveys information on the substance’s toxicology in cases of contact. There are six subsections: (1) reactivity, (2) chemical stability, (3) possibility of hazardous reactions, (4) conditions to avoid in case of reactions, (5) incompatible materials, and (6) hazardous products of the substance or mixture’s decomposition. This section describes stability and reactivity patterns for the substance or mixture and their potential repercussions. Those actually listed can vary from producer to producer, but usually include appearance, color and odor, flash point and specific gravity, among other things. It has no real subsections, simply listing different properties. This section describes the physical and chemical properties specific to the substance or mixture. Section 9: Physical and chemical properties The latter eight of the sixteen total GHS safety data sheet subsections are:
