UN Number
The UN (United Nations) number is a worldwide identifying
number for a substance in commerce or transport. This number is
meaningful to shippers and hazardous material handlers.
NFPA Code
To protect the professional firefighter, NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) has established a numerical code that rates chemicals
under fire conditions in four categories: health, flammability, reactivity
and unusual reactivity. Within each category, a system has been
established with five numerical ratings (0–4). Number 4 is a severe
hazard and number 0 is no special hazard. This rating system is on
our label because a few state laws require
it. Unfortunately, the NFPA
numerical ratings exist for a very limited number of chemicals, and
the numbers represent hazard under fire conditions as opposed to
normal
laboratory use. This under fire conditions rating system tends
to distort hazard characteristics. We urge teachers to depend more on
the hazard warnings, pictograms and signal words shown elsewhere
on each label.
Storage Method/Number, Enlarged
The Flinn compatible family storage number is enlarged so you can
easily locate it and return the chemical container to its proper storage
location.
Suggested Disposal Method
Suggested disposal techniques for small, laboratory quantities
of
chemicals are provided in this Flinn Scientific Catalog/Reference
Manual on pages 735–759. The number shown in the chemical listing
refers you to a specific and suggested disposal method for that
particular product.
Shelf Life
A general statement about anticipated shelf life. Since conditions
vary widely, the statement is general and should be accepted in
that context. The shelf life data are based on exhaustive literature
searches.
Soluble
In what solvent(s) is this substance soluble? We have listed the
common solvents. Limited space may, in a few cases, prevent us
from listing all of the possible solvents.
Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry
Number
CAS means Chemical Abstract Service. The CAS is operated by
the American Chemical Society (ACS), a society of professional
chemists. The CAS maintains resource information on thousands of
chemicals. The CAS number is the single identifying number for each
specific substance.
