R1, R2 :

Hazard Characteristic Code (HCC) used by the Department of Defense (DoD) Hazardous Material Information Resource System (HMIRS) to classify materials by their primary hazard characteristic for the safe segregation and storage of hazardous materials. There are 10 basic classes defined by letters A to Z, and each of these is broken down into additional subclasses. See: R1, R2. Additional Info: Here is a listing of the Hazard Characteristic Codes and a brief explanation for each. Note: Some of the letters used are also used as TSCA, CHIP, EU risk phrases, and/or HMIS codes, which may have completely different meanings and applications! HCC codes are usually prefixed by "HCC" as in "HCC: T4", but not always. MSDS Relevance: OSHA does not require HCC's on MSDS's, but some organizations will find this information useful. HCC addresses an often overlooked, but highly critical, aspect of working with hazardous materials, the proper segregation and physical separation of incompatible substances. Many organizations simply store all their chemicals in one spot or sort them alphabetically. In the event of a fire or other accident, this can have disastrous. See: The links below for the DoD's segregation scheme. See also: CHIP, DOT, HMIS, Incompatible, TSCA
