Sulphuric acid and any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized sulphuric acid (H !2! SO !4! ) in a concentration of ten per cent or more; c. Nitric acid or any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized nitric acid (HNO !3! ) in a concentration of five per cent or more; d. Carbolic acid, otherwise known as phenol, and any preparation containing carbolic acid in a concentration of five per cent or more; e. Oxalic acid and any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized oxalic acid (H !2! C !2! O !4! ) in a concentration of ten per cent or more; f.
