Classification according to the Regulation of the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 as amended: Compared to the previous classification system, the Directive 67/548/EEC, the new regulation brings new changes and some extensions. According to this regulation the extension of dangerous physical properties occurred. For the purpose of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply: (1) "hazard pictogram" means a graphical composition that includes a symbol plus other graphic elements, such as a border, background pattern or colour that is intended to convey specific information on the hazard concerned; (2) "signal word" means a word that indicates the relative level of severity of hazards to alert the reader to a potential hazard; the following two levels are distinguished: (a) "Danger" means a signal word indicating the more severe hazard categories and (b) "Warning" means a signal word indicating the less severe hazard categories; (3) "hazard statement" means a phrase assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature of the hazards of a hazardous substance or mixture, including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard; (4) "precautionary statement" means a phrase that describes recommended measure(s) to minimise or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to a hazardous substance or mixture due to its use or disposal. The hazard pictograms, character of hazards of chemicals and instructions for safe handling of hazardous chemicals are listed as follows: (1) Symbol: Exploding Bomb; Physical Hazards: Unstable explosives; Explosives of Divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4; Self reactive substances and mixtures, Types A, B; Organic peroxides, Types A, B.
