CLP Physical Hazards

There are a number of specific physical hazards from chemicals covered by CLP-GHS.  These are often described in combination with the physical form of the material, e.g. flammable aerosol, flammable gas, flammable solid etc.

These include

• explosives
• flammable gas
• flammable solid
• flammable liquid and vapour (including CLP-only flammables, EUH statements)
• flammable and non-flammable aerosol
• oxidising gas
• oxidising liquid
• oxidising solid
• gases under pressure
• self-reactive hazards (heating may cause fire or explosion)
• organic peroxides
• self-heating hazards
• in contact with water, releases flammable gases
• pyrophoric hazards (liable to spontaneously ignite)
• (desensitised explosives – GHS only)
• corrosive to metal (mainly pH effects)
• in contact with water, releases toxic gases (CLP only, EUH statement)
