Issue: Material does not meet the substance requirements for classification 1.2.1
Materials classed as 1.2.1 Cast iron with lamellar graphite / tempered cast iron must contain at least 70% Iron (Fe, CAS # 7439-89-6) and 2% or more Carbon (C, CAS # 7440-44-0). The material in question does not meet one or both of these requirements for classification 1.2.1.
Per IMDS Recommendation 001a* – This classification is for iron alloys which contain lamellar graphite. Lamellar graphite is composed of lamellae. Lamellae are thin flat scales, membranes or layers of graphite (carbon).
Action Required:
Review the material composition and classification and revise as necessary.
