EC index number
The EC index number is in Annex I to Directive 67/548 / EEC specified identification - code for a particular hazardous substance . This list was replaced by Annex VI of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) of December 16, 2008; it is regularly adapted to technical progress.
The EC index number must be distinguished from the EC number .
The first three digits up to 82 indicate the ordinal number of the element determining the risk. For example, "007" (nitrogen)
- 007-008-00-3 hydrazine
- 007-010-00-4 sodium nitrite
- 007-011-00-X potassium nitrite
The next three digits are a consecutive number within the leading three digits; they are assigned in the random chronological order in which these hazardous substances were added to the list. As a result of changes in the meantime, this number sequence is incomplete. Another random example of sulfur:
- 016-023-00-4 dimethyl sulfate
The following two digits are used to distinguish “close relatives” from each other, who are otherwise the same in the first 6 digits. This rarely happens and mostly only affects the "01" in addition to the "00". Here is the example
- 017-002-00-2 hydrogen chloride (gas)
- 017-002-01-X hydrochloric acid
Finally, the last digit is a check digit (using the modulo 11 method).
The inorganic hazardous substances end with the lead compounds:
- 082-002-00-1 lead alkyls
Because of the large number of organic compounds, the leading 006 is only assigned to inorganic hazardous substances with carbon; For the hazardous substances from organic chemistry, the numbers from 601 to 617 are used and assigned to certain groups of substances, as can be seen from the following examples:
- 601-017-00-1 cyclohexane
- 602-011-00-1 dichloroethane
- 603-054-00-9 dibutyl ether
- 604-001-00-2 phenol
- 605-016-00-7 glyoxal
- 606-001-00-8 acetone
- 607-003-00-1 chloroacetic acid
- 608-003-00-4 acrylonitrile
- 609-015-00-2 4-nitrophenol
- 610-009-00-7 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline
- 611-008-00-4 4-aminoazobenzene
- 612-004-00-5 triethylamine
- 613-001-00-1 ethylene imine
- 614-005-00-6 colchicine
- 615-003-00-8 thiocyanic acid
- 616-001-00-X dimethylformamide
- 617-001-00-2 di-tert-butyl peroxide
Special cases are organized as shown below:
- 647-010-00-7 trypsin
- 648- Intermediate products from petroleum distillation
- 649- Intermediate products from petroleum distillation
- 650-007-00-3 Chlordimeform (ISO)
Overall one could say:
- 601 hydrocarbons
- 602 halogen hydrocarbons
- 603 alcohols and their derivatives
- 604 phenols and their derivatives
- 605 aldehydes and their derivatives
- 606 ketones and their derivatives
- 607 Organic acids and their derivatives
- 608 nitriles
- 609 nitro compounds
- 610 chloronitro compounds.
- 611 azoxy and azo compounds
- 612 amino compounds
- 613 Heterocyclic Bases and Their Derivatives
- 614 glycosides and alkaloids
- 615 cyanates and isocyanates
- 616 amides and their derivatives
- 617 Organic peroxides
- 647 enzymes
- 648 Complex substances derived from coal
- 649 Complex substances derived from petroleum
- 650 different fabrics.
