Designation:F118603(Reapproved 2013)Standard Classification System forChemicals According to Functional Groups1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1186;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 standard provides a classification system forchemical compounds whereby chemicals are assigned a 3-digitcode based primarily on chemical class.2Poly-functionalcompounds should be classified by all applicable code numbersassociated with their component functional groups.2.Significance and Use2.1 In many situations where chemicals are interacting withother chemicals or materials,the interaction is strongly depen-dent and often correlated with the functional group(s)present.These interactions include chemical reaction,dissolution,andswelling/permeation of polymeric materials.For this reason,itis useful to have a standard means for classifying chemicals.2.2 One application for this classification system is in theselection of chemical protective clothing based on the chemicalresistance of the clothing materials.3,4,5Chemical resistancedata are available for only a very small fraction of thechemicals for which protective clothing is used.However,forchemicals for which no data are available,a knowledge of thechemical class sometimes can give insight into the resistance ofa prospective clothing material.NOTE1The present state of knowledge precludes reliable estimatesfrom chemical class alone.2.3 The classification system also facilitates the develop-ment of predictive methodology by researchers in a variety offields,in addition to protective clothing.3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 functional groupthe atom or group of atoms thatdefines the chemical class of a particular family of organiccompounds and,at the same time,determines their properties.4.Basis of Classification4.1 Three-digit numbers were assigned to each class.Themajor classes generally were a multiple of 10(printed in boldtype),with subclasses numbered between.4.2 Subcommittee F23.30 has jurisdiction for designatingnew classes.Proposals should be made to that group.The listwill be updated periodically through the ASTM ballotingprocess as needed;interim lists will be made immediatelyavailable from the subcommittee.4.3 See Annex A1 for the classification system.5.Keywords5.1 chemical classification;chemical resistance;chemicals;clothing;protective;groups;functional1This classification system is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee F23 onPersonal Protective Clothing and Equipment and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee F23.30 on Chemicals.Current edition approved Feb.1,2013.Published February 2013.Originallyapproved in 1988.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as F1186 03(2008)1.DOI:10.1520/F1186-03R13.2Classification in this guide is based on assignment of 3-digit codes,originallyfound in the Guidelines for the Selection of Chemical Protective Clothing,3rd Ed.(Vols I and II),Schwope et al.NTIS Accession Nos.ADA179 516 andADA179 164,to the groups listed in the Functional Group Index,Kodak LaboratoryChemicals,Kodak Laboratory Products Catalog No.53,19871988,p 1f30f.3Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation and Degradation Database,K.Forsberg et al.,Lewis Publisher,CRC Press Inc.,2000 Corporate Blvd.,N.W.,BocaRaton,FL 33431-9964.4Guidelines for the Selection of Chemical Protective Clothing,Johnson et al.,U.S.Dept.of Energy Report DE-02357T,1991.5Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing,5thed.,Forsberg andMansdorf,John Wiley and Sons,Inc.,Hoboken,NJ(2007)ISBN 978-0-470-14681-1.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 ANNEX(Mandatory Information)A1.CLASSIFICATION OF CHEMICALS/CHEMICAL CLASS NUMBERSCLASSCHEMICAL CLASS/SUBCLASS NAME100Acids Carboxylic102Aliphatic and Alicyclic,Unsubstituted103Aliphatic and Alicyclic,Substituted104Aliphatic and Alicyclic,Polybasic105Aromatic,Benzoic106Aromatic,Others110Acid Halides,Carboxylic111Aliphatic and Alicyclic112Aromatic113Chloroformates120Aldehydes121Aliphatic and Alicyclic122Aromatic130Amides132Aliphatic and Alicyclic133Aromatic134Acetanilides135Acrylamides137Carbamides and Guanidines140Amines141Aliphatic and Alicyclic,Primary142Aliphatic and Alicyclic,Secondary143Aliphatic and Alicyclic,Tertiary145Aromatic,Primary146Aromatic,Secondary and Tertiary147Alkyl-Aryl,Monoamines148Aliphatic and Alicyclic Polyamines149Aromatic Polyamines150Hydroxylamines and Ketoximes160Anhydrides161Aliphatic and Alicyclic162Aromatic170Azo/Azox4 Compounds210Isocyanates211Aliphatic and Alicyclic212Aromatic220Esters Carboxylic221Formates222Acetates223Acrylates and Methacrylates224Aliphatic,Others225Lactones226Benzoates and Phthalates227Aromatic,Others230Esters Non-Carboxylic231Ortho
