Precautionary · ResponsePhysical

P335 is the GHS precautionary statement “Brush off loose particles from skin”. UN GHS Annex 3 assigns it to Pyrophoric solids (chapter 2.10), Category 1 and Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases (chapter 2.12), Category 1, 2. The English wording is the same as UN GHS Rev.11 in EU CLP and Canada. OSHA uses it only inside combined statements. Canada’s official French text is “Enlever avec précaution les particules déposées sur la peau” and Mexico’s Spanish text is “Cepillar las partículas sueltas depositadas en la piel”.
