Designation:D384402(Reapproved 2008)Standard Guide forLabeling Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Solvent Containers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3844;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide is intended to provide industrial health andsafety labeling for the following chlorinated hydrocarbonsolvents:methylene chloride,perchloroethylene,and trichlo-roethylene.Additional labeling may be required if otherchemicals are mixed with these solvents,or if special contain-ers(for example,aerosol packages)are employed.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D4276 Practice for Confined Area Entry2.2 ANSI Standard:ANSI Z 129.1-2000 American National Standard for Haz-ardous Industrial Chemicals-Precautionary Labeling32.3 Code of Federal Regulations:29 CFR 1910.146 OSHA Occupational Safety and HealthStandard for Permit-required Confined Spaces429 CFR 1910.1052 OSHAOccupational Health Standard forMethylene Chloride429 CFR 1910.1200 OSHA Hazard Communication Stan-dard449 CFR 172 DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations416 CFR 1500 Consumer Product Safety Commission Regu-lations42.4 Other Publications:ACGIH Threshold Limit Values(TLVs)for Chemical Sub-stances and Physical Agents53.Significance and Use3.1 Chemical product labeling is required by the OSHAHazard Communications Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200.ANSIStandard Z129.1 establishes specific guidelines for preparationof labeling consistent with the OSHA Standard.This guide isintended as an interpretation of these standards as they apply tothese specific products and grades.3.2 This guide is intended to provide suggestions for theminimum required labeling for these chlorinated solvents.It isnot intended to replace labeling determinations made bymanufacturers or packagers.3.3 This guide applies to commercially available grades ofthese specific products.For solvent blends,or formulationswith other materials,consult ANSI Z129.1.4.Requirements4.1 These materials may also be subject to applicablefederal,state and local laws and regulations.5.Labeling5.1 Sections 6-8 describe typical warning statements to beincluded in warning labels for the appropriate solvents.5.2 Special grades of these solvents are available.Thesesuggested statements may not be complete,or appropriate inevery case.Solvent suppliers should be consulted beforelabeling containers of these products.5.3 Some states require identification of any componentspresent in concentrations of 1%or greater,or of listedcarcinogens in concentrations of 0.1%or greater.Certaingrades of these products may contain stabilizers in suchconcentrations.Consult the supplier for more information.5.4 Some regulatory districts also require listing of VOCcontent.Methylene chloride and perchloroethylene are exemptin many jurisdictions,however stabilizers(where present)areconsidered as VOCs,and may need to be labeled as such.5.5 Products packaged for consumer uses may requirelabeling that differs from the recommendations set forth in thisguide.Consult Consumer Product Safety Commission regula-tions(16 CFR Part 1500)6.Suggested Label for Methylene Chloride6.1 Identification:Company NameCompany Address1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D26 on HalogenatedOrganic Solvents and Fire Extinguishing Agents and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D26.05 on Industrial Hygiene.Current edition approved Jan.1,2008.Published March 2008.Originallyapproved in 1979.Last previous edition approved in 2002 as D3844 02.DOI:10.1520/D3844-02R08.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.4Available from the Superintendent of Documents,U.S.Government PrintingOffice,Washington,DC 20402.5Available from American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists,1330 Kemper Meadow Dr.,Cincinnati,OH 45240.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesNOTICE:This standard has either been superseded and replaced by a new version or withdrawn.Contact ASTM International(www.astm.org)for the latest information1Emergency Telephone NumberCompany LogoLot NumberNet WeightSolvent Name:Methylene Chloride(dichloromethane)CAS No.:75-09-2UN No.:UN 1593DOT Label:PoisonOSHA PEL:25 ppm(ACGIH TLV:50 ppm)Reportable Quantity:1000 lb6.2 READ MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET BE-FORE HANDLING OR USING THIS PRODUCT.6.3 Health and Safety Information:WARNING!Harmful ifinhaled.May cause skin and eye irritation.May cause liver andkidney
