Template:GHS phrases/doc

The templates {{GHS phrases}} (talk) (/tests), {{H-phrases}} and {{P-phrases}} all format and present GHS hazard and precaution statements as defined by the UN.

The template requires one or more phrase codes as input:

• {{GHS phrases|H220|H230}} → H220, H230
• {{H-phrases|H220|H230}} → H220, H230
• {{P-phrases|P220|P230}} → P220, P230
• {{H-phrases|H302+H312}} → H302+H312 – (Predefined combination, recognised)

Pages with errors or warnings show a Preview message. Articles are then listed in Category:GHS errors (2), Category:GHS warnings (540).

Recognised phrases and their descriptions are maintained by Module:GHS phrases/data. Some phrases are intentionally annotated as (Obsolete). Do not remove them from an article unless updating all the phrases together from a newer reference which applies an updated edition of the GHS; for more information see Module:GHS phrases/data § Obsolete codes.

Usage

While one can use {{GHS phrases}} stand-alone in text, it is more common to use it in {{Chembox}}, section Chembox Hazards:

DDT GHS phrases

Hazards

When including GHS phrases in an article, please also include a reference (as illustrated in the example above).

Synonyms: {{HPhrases}}, {{PPhrases}}

For ease of working in {{Chembox}}, {{H-phrases}} and {{P-phrases}} have synonyms (redirects) which are the same as the Chembox parameter name:

|Section3 = {{Chembox Hazards
 | HPhrases = {{HPhrases|H301}}
 | PPhrases = {{PPhrases|P301}}
 }}

Parameters

• The number of phrase codes one can enter is practically unlimited. The codes are ordered alphanumerically.

Best practice: add prefix H or P to the number: |H220, not |220.

One template call can only show one prefix set. That is, H- and P-phrases cannot be mixed.

• |setid= (H or P) can be set to prevent ambiguity in generic {{GHS phrases}}.

For backward compatability, the code prefix "H" or "P" is not required. So {{H-phrases|220}} equals {{H-phrases|H220}} → H220. However. Since {{GHS phrases}} covers both H and P, adding the prefix is better.

List options

• Using |list=, {{GHS phrases}} can be presented in various list formats:

|list=abbr, inline, bulleted, unbulleted, horizontal, ordered, horizontal_ordered

|listtype=abbr (default)

P203, P302+P334, P502

|listtype=inline

P203: "Obtain, read and follow all safety instructions before use.", P302+P334: "IF ON SKIN: Immerse in cool water or wrap in wet bandages.", P502: "Refer to manufacturer or supplier for information on recovery or recycling."

|listtype=bulleted

• P203: Obtain, read and follow all safety instructions before use.
• P302+P334: IF ON SKIN: Immerse in cool water or wrap in wet bandages.
• P502: Refer to manufacturer or supplier for information on recovery or recycling.

|listtype=unbulleted

• P203: Obtain, read and follow all safety instructions before use.
• P302+P334: IF ON SKIN: Immerse in cool water or wrap in wet bandages.
• P502: Refer to manufacturer or supplier for information on recovery or recycling.

|listtype=horizontal

• P203: Obtain, read and follow all safety instructions before use.
• P302+P334: IF ON SKIN: Immerse in cool water or wrap in wet bandages.
• P502: Refer to manufacturer or supplier for information on recovery or recycling.

|listtype=ordered

1. P203: Obtain, read and follow all safety instructions before use.
2. P302+P334: IF ON SKIN: Immerse in cool water or wrap in wet bandages.
3. P502: Refer to manufacturer or supplier for information on recovery or recycling.

Errors, warnings, and code checks

Errors

All errors show a preview-message in Preview.

Categorisation is in Category:GHS errors (2), articles only (mainspace).

• § Unknown phrase code (catsort under H, P)
• § Could not find a set id or set id is not recognised (catsort under ?)
• § Unknown parameter is not recognised (catsort under U)

Unknown phrase code

Phrase codes that are unknown get an inline marker like ^[?], produce a visible warning while editing in preview, and are categorised in Category:GHS errors when in article space.

For example (one can see the warning when previewing this page or section):

• {{H-phrases|H220|H999}} → H220, H999

This also occurs when |setid=H and a P-phrase is entered or vice versa.

• {{GHS phrases|setid=H|P302}} → P302
• {{GHS phrases|setid=P|H302}} → H302

Could not find a set id or set id is not recognised

When {{GHS phrases}} is used, a setid check is enforced. A set id is present by default in {{H-phrases}} etc. When |setid= is missing, the first set id in the codes-list is used.

• So |310 |320 |H333 → H, but |310 |P220 |H333 → P.

If |setid= has an unrecognised value but a valid set id is included in the codes-list, the valid id will be used and |setid= will be ignored.

• {{GHS phrases|setid=Z|321|P362}} → P321, P362

If no valid set id can be found, all phrases will be hidden and a warning will be displayed in preview while editing.

• {{GHS phrases|321|362}} → – (missing prefix H/P may leave undecided results (ambiguity))

Likewise, if |setid= is present but is invalid, all phrases will be hidden and a warning will display in preview when editing.

• {{GHS phrases|setid=Z|321|362}} → – (a warning is displayed in preview)

Unknown parameter or |XYZ= is not recognised

When an unrecognised or misspelled parameter is used, like |example= or |seitd=, the unknown parameters will be ignored and a warning message will be displayed in preview while editing.

• {{GHS phrases|example=P|P302}} → P302 – (a warning is displayed in preview)
• {{GHS phrases|seitd=P|P302}} → P302 – (a warning is displayed in preview)

Warnings

All warnings show a preview-message in Preview.

Categorisation in Category:GHS warnings (540), articles only (mainspace).

• When § Omit Rules are applied, a warning is made mentioning the two involved phrase codes. (catsort under O)
• When § Redundancy is present, a warning is made mentioning the involved phrase code. (catsort under D)

Omit Rules

Omission rules defined by the GHS are applied to avoid redundant information:

• If |omit=true (default), the omission rules are applied and redundant codes will be hidden.
  • {{GHS phrases|H314|H318}} → H314

A warning is displayed while editing; omitted codes should be deleted unless included intentionally.

• If |omit=false, redundant codes will not be hidden.
  • {{GHS phrases|H314|H318|omit=false}} → H314, H318
  • No warning will be displayed if |omit=false is set.

All omission rules can be listed using a template:

• {{GHS phrases/list omit rules}}

Omit Rules as applied by {{GHS phrases}} ()

Omit Rules: when the keep ID is present, do not show the omit ID phrase
• keep P203, omit P103

Redundancy (duplicates)

Repeated phrase codes are removed (hidden from readers):

• {{GHS phrases|H400|H401|H401|H401}} → H400, H401

A warning is displayed while editing; duplicates should be deleted.

Obsolete codes

Some phrases are intentionally annotated as (Obsolete) in their descriptions. These are not errors and do not display a warning. Do not remove them from an article unless updating all the phrases together from a newer reference which applies an updated edition of the GHS; for more information see Module:GHS phrases/data § Obsolete codes.
