Why are there substances listed in HSIS without a hazard classification?
The HSIS database includes substances that have been classified in accordance with the Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances and/or have National Exposure Standards declared under the NOHSC Adopted National Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment.

The Australian manufacturer or importer of the substance is responsible for the determination of the hazard classificat
