3.8 Toxicity. When evaluated in accordance with 4.6.5, the oil shall have no adverse effect on the health of
personnel when used for its intended purpose. The oil shall be assessed by the Navy and Marine Corps Public
Health Center (NMCPHC) using the administrative Health Hazard Assessment (HHA). A flowchart for this process
can be found as enclosure (1) of BUMEDINST 6270.8. The HHA is a review of the oil based on information
submitted by the manufacturer to assess health hazards associated with the handling, application, use, and removal
of the product. The oil shall not cause any environmental problems during waste disposal (see 4.6.5 and 6.8).
3.9 Off-gassing. The oil shall be certified for and assigned a usage category of "Limited" in accordance with
