Hazard statements

H270 – May cause or intensify fire, oxidizer H280 – Contains gas under pressure: may explode if heated H330 – Fatal if inhaled H315 – Causes skin irritation H319 – Causes serious eye irritation H335 – May cause respiratory irritation. H400 – Very toxic to aquatic life H410 – Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

Precautionary statements

P271 – Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P284 – If ventilation is inadequate, wear respiratory protective equipment. P273 – Avoid release to the environment. Emergency Response: P370 + P376 - In case of fire: Contain leak if safe to do so. P304 + P340 - IF INHALED: Remove the person to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P391 Collect spilled material

Storage

P406 – Store in a corrosion-resistant container/...with a resistant inner lining. Other hazards that do not result in a classification: Chlorine combines with various substances, reacting with most organic elements and compounds, and in some cases, forming explosive mixtures. At high temperatures, it reacts with metals. It forms explosive compounds when reacting with acetylene, ether, ammonia, hydrogen, and finely divided metals.
