NFPA Hazard codes:
Health : 1 Fire: 0 Reactivity: 0 Special:
HMIS III rating
Health: 1¤ Flammability: 0 Physical hazard: 0
NFPA and HMIS use a numbering scale ranging from 0 to 4 to indicate the degree of hazard. A value of zero means that the
substance possesses essentially no hazard; a rating of four indicates extreme danger. Although similar, the two rating
systems are intended for different purposes, and use different criteria. The NFPA system was developed to provide an
on-the-spot alert to the hazards of a material, and their severity, to emergency responders. The HMIS system was designed
to communicate workplace hazard information to employees who handle hazardous chemicals.
