Classification Back-Up Document

The following information shall be recorded with each SDS Prepared to document the hazard classification for each specific product

General:

1. Product Identifier.

2. Name of SDS Author

3. Date the classification was completed.

Classification Data:

For each Hazard Class:

1. Under the column named "Category" indicate the hazard class category, when applicable.

2. Under the column named "Classification Status", enter one of the following options:

a. "Conclusive - Sufficient to Classify" if there is appropriate high quality data, and based on that, it is concluded that the classification criteria are fulfilled;

b. "Conclusive - Insufficient to Classify" if a substance is tested with the appropriate high quality reflected in the study or where other high quality information is available, and based on that, it is concluded that the classification criteria are not fulfilled;

c. "Inconclusive" if there is data or other information which is not reliable (e.g. data of poor quality) or if you have several equivocal study results or information (In these cases, the available data/information cannot be regarded as a firm basis for classification.); or,

d. "Data Lacking" if there is not relevant data or other adequate and reliable information that can be compared with the classification criteria.

3. Under the column "Classification Data and Bibliographic Reference" summarize the data/findings that are the basis for the classification. Enter relevant data (e.g. LD 50 value) used for hazard classification or enter "No Applicable Information Was Found." if no information was found. Enter the bibliographic source of the data.

4. Under the column "Rationale for Hazard Classification" describe the how the data analysis resulted in the classification.

5. Under the column "Data Sources Consulted " list all data sources consulted in the hazard classification.
