GL 121 Hazcard Index (CLP Hazcards, 2016 Edition, and later updates) Version 11: November 2018 update Note: This is a working document and will be subject to frequent updates. Check the latest version at www.cleapss.org.uk Hazcard Index • Please use this index, or the search facility on the website, to find information on a particular chemical before contacting CLEAPSS. • This Index covers the chemicals included in the 2016 Edition of Hazcards (and later updates). • When each new version of this Index is published, a shaded box is used to highlight the latest updates or amendments to Hazcards; the date of the update/amendment is also indicated. • Amendments made to Hazcards since September 2016 are summarised on pages 2 and 3 (overleaf). • Chemicals are listed in the Index by their systematic names and/or by commonly-used alternative (or familiar) names as appropriate. • The Hazcard number is given for each chemical. References to other information (eg, a Recipe) may also be included. • Some chemicals occasionally used in school science activities do not, currently, appear on Hazcards but may be included in later versions. Contact CLEAPSS for information if necessary. Banned chemicals Very few chemicals are banned nationally. These are indicated in the Hazcard Index by ‘B’ and are also emphasised by being in bold print. Chemicals that are not recommended Chemicals that are not recommended or are not suitable for general use in schools are indicated in the Hazcard Index by ‘NR’ and are also emphasised by being in bold print. It may still be possible to use ‘NR’ chemicals under certain circumstances – contact CLEAPSS to discuss. MRATs For several entries in this Index, ‘See MRATs’ is stated in the Notes column. This refers to Model Risk Assessments for Design and Technology in Secondary Schools. These can be found on the CLEAPSS Design and Technology website: dt.cleapss.org.uk. Read Hazcards in conjunction with About Hazcards (Guide GL120).
