P370+P380+P375 is the GHS precautionary statement “In case of fire: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion”. UN GHS Annex 3 assigns it to Explosives (chapter 2.1), Category 2C and Desensitized explosives (chapter 2.17), Category 1, 2, 3. The English wording is the same as UN GHS Rev.11 in US OSHA, EU CLP and Canada. Canada’s official French text is “En cas d'incendie: Évacuer la zone. Combattre l’incendie à distance à cause du risque d'explosion” and Mexico’s Spanish text is “En caso de incendio: Evacuar la zona. Combatir el incendio a distancia debido al riesgo de explosión”. In the UN GHS Rev.11 label matrix it is used with 3 hazard statements (UN only).
