What does P350 mean?

What kind of precautionary statement is P350?

Response statements (P3xx) say what to do after an accident, spill, fire or exposure: first-aid steps, rinsing and washing, calling a doctor or a poison centre, choosing the extinguishing medium. They usually open with a situation such as IF IN EYES or IF INHALED.

Where is P350 written in the SDS?

P350 is not written in a current SDS or label; Chemoris automatically turns a selection that falls on this code into P352. If you see it in an old document, prepare Section 2.2 again.

How does P350 appear on the label?

Because it has been withdrawn, P350 does not appear in a new label draft; the current equivalent is printed on the label instead of this text.

Where does P350 stand in the response group?

P350 is number 31 of the 82 statements in the P3xx group. The group holds 30 combined and 11 withdrawn statements and 46 single valid statements. Combined statements merge several situations on one line; withdrawn statements are replaced by their current equivalents.

Original official wording of P350

P350 appeared in the original CLP text (CELEX 32008R1272) as: “Gently wash with plenty of soap and water.”. If you meet this wording in an old SDS or label, compare it with the current list; Chemoris writes the Turkish template text only for valid codes.

Checklist when writing P350

• P350 is a part of the combined statements P302+P350; when a combined statement is selected, P350 is not repeated on the label.
• The text is 8 words long; if the label space is narrow, choosing a combined statement can save room.
