- The State Government may at any time, by notification in the Official Gazette make suitable changes in the Schedules[Schedule 1 [Substituted by No. G.S.R. 4, dated 16.4.2002 [18.4.2002].][See rule 2a (i), 3 (1), 4(1) (a)]Part-I
(a)Toxic Chemicals. - Chemicals having the following values of acute toxicity and which owing to their physical and chemical properties, are capable of producing major accident hazards:
S.No. Toxicity Oral toxicity LD50(mg/kg) Dermal toxicity LD50 (mg/kg) Inhalation toxicity LC50(mg/l)
1. Extremely toxic >5 <40 <0.5
2. Highly toxic >5-50 >40-200 <0.5-2.0
3. Toxic >50-200 >200-1000 >2-10
(b)Flammable Chemicals. -
(i)flammable gases: Gases which at 20°C and at standard pressure of 101.3KPa are:-
(a)ignitable when in a mixture of 13 percent or less by volume with air; or
(b)have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the lower flammable limits.
Note : The flammability shall be determined by tests or by calculation in accordance with methods adopted by International Standards Organization ISO No. 10156 of 1990 or by Bureau of Indian Standards ISI No. 1446 of 1985.
(ii)extremely flammable liquids.- chemicals which have flash point lower than or equal to 23°C and boiling point less than 35°C.
(iii)very highly flammable liquids.- chemicals which have a flash point lower than or equal to 23°C and initial boiling point higher than 35°C.
(iv)highly flammable liquids.- chemicals which have a flash point lower than or equal to 60°C but higher than 23°C.
(v)flammable liquids.- chemicals which have a flash point higher than 60°C but lower than 90°C.
(c)Explosives. - Explosives mean a solid or liquid or pyrotechnic substance (or a mixture of substances) or an article:-
(a)which is in itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings ;
(b)which is designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a combination of these as the result of non-denotative self sustaining exothermic chemical reaction.
