A substance that, according to the DOT, causes visible destruction or permanent changes in human skin tissue at the site of contact or is highly corrosive to steel
Liquid or solid that causes visible destruction or irreversible alterations in skin tissue at site of contact, or, in the case of leakage from its packaging, liquid that has severe corrosion rate on steel
A chemical that causes visible destruction of, or irreversible alternations in, living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact; or in the case of leakage from its packaging, a liquid that has a severe corrosion rate on steel A solid or liquid waste that exhibits a "characteristic or corrosivity," as defined by RCRA, may be regulated (by EPA) as a hazardous waste
The description of a material that will cause physical change, usually deterioration or destruction, through chemical or electrochemical action rather than by mechanical action
A chemical that causes visible destruction of, or irreversible alterations in, living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact For example, a chemical is considered to be corrosive if, when tested on the intact skin of albino rabbits by the method described by the DOT in Appendix A to 49 CFR Part 173, it destroys or changes irreversibly the structure of the tissue at the site of contact following an exposure period of 4 hours This term shall not refer to action on inanimate surfaces
Eats through materials (acid, for example) Oven cleaners, drain cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners and auto batteries are common corrosive products Look for words on the product label like: "Causes severe burns on contact " "Can burn eyes, skin, throat "
A chemical that causes visible destruction of or irreversible alterations in living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact For example, a chemical is considered to be corrosive if, when tested on the intact skin of albino rabbits by the method described by the DOT in Appendix A to 49 CFR Part 173, it destroys or changes irreversibly the structure of the tissue at the site of contact following an exposure period of 4 hours This term shall not refer to action on inanimate surfaces
A substance that dissolves metals and other materials or burns the skin An aqueous solution is corrosive if it has a pH of less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to 12 If a liquid corrodes steel (SAE 1020) at a rate greater than 6 35 mm per year at a test temperature of 55o C, it is corrosive Examples are waste rust removers, waste acid or alkaline cleaning fluids and waste battery acid SWM Rule 1200-1-11- 02(3) or 40 CFR § 261 22
