H312 — Harmful in contact with skin
The GHS hazard statement for acute toxicity, dermal, category 4. Here is what it means, the label elements that travel with it, and the substances that carry it.
What it means
Serious harm from skin contact over a single short exposure. Categories are set from acute toxicity estimates (ATE) per GHS Chapter 3.1.
Precautionary statements paired with H312
When the engine writes SDS Section 2 or a container label for a product carrying H312, these are the P-codes it assigns, in the official Annex 3 groups:
Reference information, not legal or professional advice. Statement texts and allocations follow GHS Rev 9 / 29 CFR 1910.1200 Appendix C as implemented by our classification engine; the regulatory text and agency practice control. Claims last reviewed July 23, 2026.
The engine writes these for you.
When SDS HQ authors an SDS or a container label, it assigns the hazard statements, signal word, pictograms, and precautionary statements from these same tables — automatically, with the calculation shown.
