''amyl nitrite'', mixed isomers

GHS

General Information

Name:

Isoamylnitrite

Implementation:

EU

Type of classification:

self-classification

Remarks:

According to the harmonised classification and labelling (Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) approved by the European Union, this substance is a highly flammable liquid and vapour (H225), is harmful if swallowed (H302) and is harmful if inhaled (H332).

In addition classification and labelling of the EU GHS categories Skin corr. 1 (H314), Eyes Damage 1 (H318), Skin Sens. 1 (H317) and Muta. 2 (H341) has been applied and is based on data given in the disseminated lead substance dossier, published on the ECHA homepage.
