Flammable Substances
Flammable gases
- substances which in the gaseous state at normal
pressure and mixed with air become flammable and the
boiling point of which at normal pressure is 20 C or
below;
Highly flammable liquids
- substances which have a flash point lower than 21C
and the boiling point of which at normal pressure is
above 20 C and;
Flammable liquids
- substances which have a flash point lower than 5.5 C

24where under
Explosive Substances
- substances which may explode under the effect of flame or
which are more sensitive to shocks or friction than
dinitrobenzene.
Oxidizing Substances
- substances which give rise to highly exothermic reaction when
in contact with other substances particularly flammable
substances.
For the purpose of this schedule :
LD50 (oral) - a dose of a substance in mg/kg of body weight that
produces death in 50% of a given experimental animal
population;
LD50 (cutaneous) - a dose of a substance in mg/kg of body
weight that produces death in 50% of a given animal population;
