H313+H333: May be harmful in contact with skin or if inhaled

Hazard class and category

This combined statement merges H313 and H333.

What H313+H333 means

Acute toxicity covers harmful effects that occur after a single exposure, or several exposures within 24 hours, by swallowing (oral), skin contact (dermal) or breathing in (inhalation). The GHS has five categories, from Category 1 (most toxic) to Category 5, based on lethal-dose or lethal-concentration data.

The product can cause serious harm, and in the worst categories death, after one short exposure. Categories 1 to 3 carry the skull-and-crossbones pictogram, and Category 4 carries the exclamation mark.

What to do

Avoid all contact, breathing and swallowing. Use only with good ventilation or local exhaust, wear the gloves, protective clothing and respiratory protection the SDS calls for, do not eat, drink or smoke while working, wash thoroughly afterwards, and call a poison center or doctor if exposed.

This is general guidance for the hazard class. The safety data sheet for your product always takes precedence.
