✨ Hazardous Substances Classifications
792 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 35
Substance Description
Crude oils – low flammability
UN Number
Hazard classification(s)
3.1D, 6.1E, 6.3B, 6.7B, 9.1C
Description: Crude oil consists predominantly of hydrocarbons of the aliphatic, aromatic and naphthenic types and it also contains smaller amounts of organic compounds containing sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen, as well as low concentrations of organometallic complexes, in particular of vanadium and nickel. Olefins are rarely found in crude oils.
Heavy fuel oils
UN Number
Hazard classification(s)
3.1D, 6.3B, 6.7B, 9.1C
Description: Heavy fuel oils are blended products based on the residues from various refinery distillation and cracking processes with flashpoints above 60°C. Heavy fuel oil streams contain saturated, aromatic and olefinic hydrocarbons, mainly in the carbon number range C9 to C50. The boiling ranges of these streams are approximately 160°C to 600°C and they may contain 4 to 6 ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In addition, as they include residual streams, they may also contain low concentrations of heavy metals such as vanadium and nickel.
Fuel oil manufactured from waste lubricating oil
UN Number
Hazard classification(s)
3.1D, 6.3B, 6.7B, 9.1C
Description: A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by subjecting used motor lubricating oil to various treatment processes to remove heavy metals, additive components, water, sludge, solid particles and volatile fractions. It consists predominantly of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of C20 to C40.
The oil shall meet the following specification:
- Lead: (100 parts-per-million maximum)
- Arsenic: (5 parts-per-million maximum)
- Cadmium: (2 parts-per-million maximum)
- Chromium: (10 parts-per-million maximum)
- Total halogens*: (1,000 parts-per-million maximum)
- Flashpoint: greater than 60°C
*The oil shall contain no polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
Cutback bitumen (containing more than 10% kerosene)
UN Number
Hazard classification(s)
3.1D, 6.3B, 9.1C
Description: Cutback bitumen is a mixture of bitumen and kerosene, with the kerosene content not exceeding 20% by mass.
