LIST OF HAZARDOUS CHARACTERISTICS
| UN Class[1] | Code | Characteristics |
| 1 | H1 | Explosive |
| An explosive substance or waste is a solid or liquid substance or waste (or mixture of substances or wastes) 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. | ||
| 3 | H3 | Flammable liquids |

Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension (for example, paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc, but not including substances or wastes otherwise classified on account of their dangerous characteristics) which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more than 60.5°C, closed-cup, test, or not more than 65.6° |
