Scope

1.1 This guide is intended to provide industrial health and safety labeling for the following chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents: methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, and trichloroethylene. Additional labeling may be required if other chemicals are mixed with these solvents, or if special containers (for example, aerosol packages) are employed.

Significance and Use

Chemical product labeling is required by the OSHA Hazard Communications Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200. ANSI Standard Z129.1 establishes specific guidelines for preparation of labeling consistent with the OSHA Standard. This guide is intended as an interpretation of these standards as they apply to these specific products and grades.

This guide is intended to provide suggestions for the minimum required labeling for these chlorinated solvents. It is not intended to replace labeling determinations made by manufacturers or packagers.

This guide applies to commercially available grades of these specific products. For solvent blends, or formulations with other materials, consult ANSI Z129.1.
