Health And Safety Information

For substances supplied as British Pharmacopoeia Chemical Reference Substances (BPCRS) which are subjects of British Pharmacopoeia Monographs, health and safety information is available. For substances, supplied as BPCRS, which are possible impurities of a drug substance, information on the toxicity of health risks has generally not been established. BPCRS are supplied only in very small quantities and this has been taken into account when establishing appropriate health and safety information.

Attention is drawn to the general BPCRS leaflet regarding the use of BPCRS and to the General Notices of the British Pharmacopoeia regarding Caution Statements.

Information provided is believed to be accurate but has not been verified by this laboratory and users should make their own assessment. Where no information is available users should not assume that the substance is not hazardous to health and safety precautions should always be taken.
