    • It provides detailed instructions for hazard evaluation and determinations for classifying chemical substances and mixtures. Hazard classes and hazard categories—for most of the effects, the classes are divided into categories that reflect the relative severity of the effect. Chemical manufacturers and importers are responsible for classifying the hazards of the chemicals they manufacture or import.
