GHS

General Information

Name:

Slag, sponge iron production by coal reduction in retort

Implementation:

EU

Remarks:

The substance is an inorganic solid. In-use experience has proven the substance to be stable under normal conditions of storage and use. The following studies have been conducted on a representative batch of the substance. The results of the study data and in-use experience has been used to classify the substance, where possible.
