Matières corrosives. Une substance est dite corrosive si elle attaque (corrode) les métaux et les tissus du corps humain, comme ceux de la peau ou des yeux. Les substances corrosives peuvent détériorer les contenants en métal et entraîner une fuite, ou affaiblir les matériaux de charpente et entraîner un effondrement. Les substances corrosives peuvent brûler les tissus du corps humain et causer des cicatrices permanentes ou rendre une personne aveugle. Le Règlement sur les produits contrôlés donne les critères techniques servant à identifier les substances qui appartiennent à la catégorie des matières corrosives. 2, record 2, French, - mati%C3%A8re%20corrosive
