2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
According to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 and European Directive 67/548/EEC (as amended): Caustic Pencils and Caustic Applicators are classified as articles under both EC/1272/2008 and 67/548/EEC, and therefore not classified as hazardous under EC/1272/2008 or 67/548/EEC. They are also classified as medicinal products so in accordance with Article 2(6)(a) of EC1907/2006 (as amended) so the provisions of Title IV and Annex II of the REACH Regulations shall not apply. The active tip contains silver nitrate fused with potassium nitrate which is corrosive; the tip makes up a small proportion of the overall product. The details within this safety data sheet correspond to the hazardous properties of the tip rather than of the whole article. The components of the tip are considered to be oxidising agents in their pure form but the bulk product in the form supplied is not classified as an oxidising agent.
