DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
A large number of abbreviations and acronyms appear on a SDS. Some of these, which are commonly used, include the following:
CAS #: This is the Chemical Abstract Service Number that uniquely identifies each constituent.
EXPOSURE LIMITS IN AIR:
CEILING LEVEL: The concentration that shall not be exceeded during any part of the working
exposure.
DFG MAK Germ Cell Mutagen Categories: 1: Germ cell mutagens which have been shown to
increase the mutant frequency in the progeny of exposed humans. 2: Germ cell mutagens which have
been shown to increase the mutant frequency in the progeny of exposed mammals. 3A: Substances
which have been shown to induce genetic damage in germ cells of human of animals, or which produce
mutagenic effects in somatic cells of mammals in vivo and have been shown to reach the germ cells in
an active form. B: Substances which are suspected of being germ cell mutagens because of their
genotoxic effects in mammalian somatic cell in vivo; in exceptional cases, substances for which there are
no in vivo data, but which are clearly mutagenic in vitro and structurally related to known in vivo
mutagens. 4: Not applicable (Category 4 carcinogenic substances are those with non-genotoxic
mechanisms of action. By definition, germ cell mutagens are genotoxic. Therefore, a Category 4 for
germ cell mutagens cannot apply. At some time in the future, it is conceivable that a Category 4 could
be established for genotoxic substances with primary targets other than DNA [e.g. purely aneugenic
substances] if research results make this seem sensible.) 5: Germ cell mutagens, the potency of which
is considered to be so low that, provided the MAK value is observed, their contribution to genetic risk
for humans is expected not to be significant.
DFG MAK Pregnancy Risk Group Classification: Group A: A risk of damage to the developing
embryo or fetus has been unequivocally demonstrated. Exposure of pregnant women can lead to
damage of the developing organism, even when MAK and BAT (Biological Tolerance Value for
Working Materials) values are observed. Group B: Currently available information indicates a risk of
damage to the developing embryo or fetus must be considered to be probable. Damage to the
developing organism cannot be excluded when pregnant women are exposed, even when MAK and
BAT values are observed. Group C: There is no reason to fear a risk of damage to the developing
embryo or fetus when MAK and BAT values are observed. Group D: Classification in one of the
groups A-C is not yet possible because, although the data available may indicate a trend, they are not
sufficient for final evaluation.
IDLH-Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health: This level represents a concentration from which
one can escape within 30-minutes without suffering escape-preventing or permanent injury.
LOQ: Limit of Quantitation.
MAK: Federal Republic of Germany Maximum Concentration Values in the workplace.
NE: Not Established. When no exposure guidelines are established, an entry of NE is made for
reference.
NIC: Notice of Intended Change.
NIOSH CEILING: The exposure that shall not be exceeded during any part of the workday. If
instantaneous monitoring is not feasible, the ceiling shall be assumed as a 15-minute TWA exposure
(unless otherwise specified) that shall not be exceeded at any time during a workday.
PEL-Permissible Exposure Limit: OSHA’s Permissible Exposure Limits. This exposure value means
exactly the same as a TLV, except that it is enforceable by OSHA. The OSHA Permissible Exposure
Limits are based in the 1989 PELs and the June, 1993 Air Contaminants Rule (Federal Register: 58:
35338-35351 and 58: 40191). Both the current PELs and the vacated PELs are indicated. The phrase,
“Vacated 1989 PEL,” is placed next to the PEL that was vacated by Court Order.
SKIN: Used when a there is a danger of cutaneous absorption.
STEL-Short Term Exposure Limit: Short Term Exposure Limit, usually a 15-minute time-weighted
average (TWA) exposure that should not be exceeded at any time during a workday, even if the 8-hr
TWA is within the TLV-TWA, PEL-TWA or REL-TWA.
TLV-Threshold Limit Value: An airborne concentration of a substance that represents conditions
under which it is generally believed that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed without adverse
effect. The duration must be considered, including the 8-hour.
TWA-Time Weighted Average: Time Weighted Average exposure concentration for a conventional
8-hr (TLV, PEL) or up to a 10-hr (REL) workday and a 40-hr workweek.
