Withdrawn Rationale:
This guide is intended to provide industrial health and safety labeling for the following chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents: methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, and trichloroethylene. Additional labeling may be required if other chemicals are mixed with these solvents, or if special containers (for example, aerosol packages) are employed.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D26 on Halogenated Organic Solvents and Fire Extinguishing Agents, this guide was withdrawn in February 2013. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement due to its limited use by industry.
