DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
A large number of abbreviations and acronyms appear on a MSDS. Some of these, which are commonly us
ed, include the following:
CAS #
: This is the Chemical Abstract Service Number that uniquely identifies each compound.
ACGIH
- American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, a
professional association which establishes exposure limits.
TLV
- Threshold Limit Value - an airborne concentration of a substance that
represents conditions under which it is generally believed that nearly all workers
can be repeatedly exposed without adverse effect. The duration must be
considered, including the 8-
hour
Time Weighted Average (TWA), the 15-
minute Short Term Exposure Limit, and the instantaneous Ceiling Level (C)
.
Skin absorption effects must also be considered.
OSHA
-
U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
PEL
- Permissible Exposure Limit - 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.
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. The DFG - MAK is the Republic of
Germany
s Maximum Exposure Level, similar to the U.S. PEL.
NIOSH
is the
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, which is the research arm
of the U.S. O
ccupational
Safety and H
ealth
Administration (
OSHA
). NIOSH
issues exposure guidelines called R
ecommended
E
xposure
Levels (
REL
s).
When no exposure guidelines are established, an entry of
NE
is made for
reference.
