hazard classification does not warrant the additional personal protective equipment.
When three full stops […] appear in a precautionary statement text, they indicate that all applicable conditions are not listed. For example, in P241 "Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/.../equipment.", the use of "..." indicates that other equipment should be specified.
When text in italics is used in the precautionary statement text, this indicates specific conditions apply to the use or allocation of the precautionary statement. This may relate to conditions attaching to either the general use of a precautionary statement or its use for a particular hazard class and/or hazard category. For example, for P241 "Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/.../ equipment" only applies for flammable solids "if dust clouds can occur".

C3. General precautionary measures
The general precautionary statements listed below are not aligned with any particular GHS hazard category. According to the GHS principles, these statements are required for consumer products only. However, manufacturers of hazardous chemicals may choose to include these in an SDS, particularly where it is foreseeable that the chemical may be used in a non-workplace situation.
