The following codes are used where relevant. • Explosives • Self-Reactives • Organic peroxides • Acute Toxicity (severe) • Flammables • Self Reactives • Pyrophorics • Self-Heating • Emit Flammable Gas • Organic Peroxides • Irritant • Dermal Sensitizer • Acute toxicity (harmful) • Narcotic Effects • Respiratory Tract Irritation • Oxidisers • Carcinogen • Respiratory Sensitizer • Reproductive Toxicity • Target Organ Toxicity • Mutagenicity • Aspiration Toxicity • Gases Under Pressure • Environmental Toxicity • Corrosives 'Hazard Data Sheets', relating to materials used in this examination, should be available from your chemical supplier. Before the Examination 1 Preparation of materials Where quantities are specified for each candidate, they are sufficient for the experiments described in the Question Paper to be completed. In preparing materials, the bulk quantity for each substance should be increased by 25% as spare material should be available to cover accidental loss. More material may be supplied if requested by candidates, without penalty. All solutions should be bulked and mixed thoroughly before use to ensure uniformity. 2 Labelling of materials Materials must be labelled as specified in these instructions. Materials with an FA code number should be so labelled without the identities being included on the label. Where appropriate the identity of an FA coded chemical is given in the Question Paper itself. 3 Identity of materials It should be noted that descriptions of solutions given in the Question Paper may not correspond exactly with the specifications in these Instructions. The candidates must assume the descriptions given in the Question Paper.
