Article 26
Principles of precedence for hazard pictograms
1.
Where the classification of a substance or mixture would result in more than one hazard pictogram on the label, the following rules of precedence shall apply to reduce the number of hazard pictograms required:
(a) if the hazard pictogram GHS01 applies, the use of the hazard pictograms GHS02 and GHS03 shall be optional, except in cases where more than one of these hazard pictograms are compulsory;
(b) if the hazard pictogram GHS06 applies, the hazard pictogram GHS07 shall not appear;
(c) if the hazard pictogram GHS05 applies, the hazard pictogram GHS07 shall not appear for skin or eye irritation;
(d) if the hazard pictogram GHS08 applies for respiratory sensitisation, the hazard pictogram GHS07 shall not appear for skin sensitisation or for skin and eye irritation. irritation;
(e) if the hazard pictogram GHS02 or GHS06 applies, the use of the hazard pictogram GHS04 shall be optional.
2.
Where the classification of a substance or mixture would result in more than one hazard pictogram for the same hazard class the label shall include the hazard pictogram corresponding to the most severe hazard category for each hazard class concerned.
For substances that are included in Part 3 of Annex VI and also subject to classification pursuant to Title II, the label shall include the hazard pictogram corresponding to the most severe hazard category for each relevant hazard class.

applies from: unknown (the text changed beyond its dates, so no date that moved can be read as the application date)
dates added to the text: 2009-09-16 · dates removed: 2000-06-29
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
Several bridging principles in section 1.1.3 (dilution, batching, concentration of highly hazardous mixtures, interpolation and substantially similar mixtures) were reworded to explicitly distinguish between tested and untested mixtures, adding words such as "tested" and "untested" that were absent before.
Section 1.2.1 was restructured and renumbered from three subpoints on pictograms and label dimensions into four subpoints, with a new table adding minimum pictogram dimensions alongside the label dimensions, and the note on generic cut-off values in Table 1.1 was reworded regarding volume percentages for gaseous mixtures.
The explosives classification figures and notes in section 2.1.4 were altered, including changes to the wording and structure of Figure 2.1.3 and Figure 2.1.4 and an expanded note under 2.1.4.2 describing additional test conditions, and the text is cut off before further differences could be seen.

Note:
Generic cut-off values are in weight percentages except for gaseous mixtures for those hazard classes where the generic cut-off values may be best described in volume percentages.
1.1.3. Bridging principles for the classification of mixtures where test data are not available for the complete mixture
Where the mixture itself has not been tested to determine its hazardous properties, but there are sufficient data on similar tested mixtures and individual hazardous ingredient substances to adequately characterise the hazards of the mixture, these data shall be used in accordance with the following bridging rules referred to in Article 9(4) for each individual hazard class in Part 3 and Part 4 of this Annex, subject to any specific provisions for mixtures in each hazard class.
1.1.3.1. Dilution
If a mixture is diluted with a substance (diluent) which has an equivalent or lower hazard category classification than the least hazardous original ingredient substance and which is not expected to affect the hazard classification of other ingredient substances, then one of the following shall be applied: If a tested mixture is diluted with a substance (diluent) which has an equivalent or lower hazard category classification than the least hazardous original ingredient substance and which is not expected to affect the hazard classification of other ingredient substances, then one of the following shall be applied:
the new mixture shall be classified as equivalent to the original mixture;
the method explained in each section of Part 3 and in Part 4 for classification of mixtures when data are available for all components or only some components of the mixture;
in the case of acute toxicity, the method for classification of mixtures based on ingredients of the mixture (additivity formula).
1.1.3.2. Batching
The hazard category of one production batch of a mixture can be assumed to be substantially equivalent to that of another production batch of the same commercial product, and produced by or under the control of the same supplier, unless there is reason to believe there is significant variation such that the hazard classification of the batch has changed. If the latter occurs, a new evaluation is necessary. The hazard category of a tested production batch of a mixture can be assumed to be substantially equivalent to that of another untested production batch of the same commercial product, when produced by or under the control of the same supplier, unless there is reason to believe there is significant variation such that the hazard classification of the untested batch has changed. If the latter occurs, a new evaluation is necessary.
1.1.3.3. Concentration of highly hazardous mixtures
In the case of the classification of mixtures covered by sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 4.1, if a mixture is classified in the highest hazard category or sub-category, and the concentration of the ingredients of the mixture that are in that category or sub-category is increased, the new mixture shall be classified in that category or sub-category without additional testing. In the case of the classification of mixtures covered by sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 4.1, if a tested mixture is classified in the highest hazard category or sub-category, and the concentration of the components of the tested mixture that are in that category or sub-category is increased, the resulting untested mixture shall be classified in that category or sub-category without additional testing.
1.1.3.4. Interpolation within one toxicity category
In the case of the classification of mixtures covered by sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 4.1, for three mixtures with identical hazardous ingredients, where mixtures A and B are in the same hazard category and mixture C has the same active hazardous ingredients with concentrations intermediate to the concentrations of those hazardous ingredients in mixtures A and B, then mixture C is assumed to be in the same hazard category as A and B. In the case of the classification of mixtures covered by sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 4.1, for three mixtures (A, B and C) with identical components, where mixtures A and B have been tested and are in the same hazard category, and where untested mixture C has the same hazardous components as mixture A and B but has concentrations of those hazardous components intermediate to the concentrations in mixtures A and B, then mixture C is assumed to be in the same hazard category as A and B.
1.1.3.5. Substantially similar mixtures
Given the following:
(a) two mixtures each containing two ingredients:
(i) A + B
(ii) C + B;
(b) the concentration of ingredient B is essentially the same in both mixtures;
(c) the concentration of ingredient A in mixture (i) equals that of ingredient C in mixture (ii);
(d) hazard data for A and C are available and substantially equivalent, i.e. they are in the same hazard category and are not expected to affect the hazard classification of B.
If mixture (i) is already classified in a particular hazard class based on test data, mixture (ii) shall be assigned the same hazard category.
If mixture (i) or (ii) is already classified based on test data, then the other mixture shall be assigned the same hazard category.
1.1.3.6. Review of classification where the composition of a mixture has changed
The following variations in initial concentration are defined for the application of Article 15(2)(a):

2.1.4.2. Screening procedure
Explosive properties are associated with the presence of certain chemical groups in a molecule which can react to produce very rapid increases in temperature or pressure. The screening procedure is aimed at identifying the presence of such reactive groups and the potential for rapid energy release. If the screening procedure identifies the substance or mixture to be a potential explosive, the acceptance procedure (see section 10.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria) has to be performed.
Note
Neither a Series 1 type (a) propagation of detonation test nor a Series 2 type (a) test of sensitivity to detonative shock is required if the exothermic decomposition energy of organic materials is less than 800 J/g.
Note:
Neither a series 1 type (a) propagation of detonation test nor a series 2 type (a) test of sensitivity to detonative shock is required if the exothermic decomposition energy of organic materials is less than 800 J/g. For organic substances and mixtures of organic substances with a decomposition energy of 800 J/g or more, tests 1 (a) and 2 (a) need not be performed if the outcome of the ballistic mortar Mk.IIId test (F.1), or the ballistic mortar test (F.2) or the BAM Trauzl test (F.3) with initiation by a standard No 8 detonator (see Appendix 1 to the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria) is no. In this case, the results of test 1 (a) and 2 (a) are deemed to be -.
2.1.4.3. A substance or mixture shall not be classified as explosive if:
(a) There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule. Examples of groups which may indicate explosive properties are given in Table A6.1 in Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria; or
(b) The substance contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties which include oxygen and the calculated oxygen balance is less than - 200;
The oxygen balance is calculated for the chemical reaction:
CxHyOz+ [x+ (y/4)-(z/2)] O2 → x CO2 + (y/2) H2O
Using the formula:
Oxygen balance = -1600 [2x + (y/2)-z]/molecular weight;
(c) When the organic substance or a homogenous mixture of organic substances contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties but the exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g and the onset of exothermic decomposition is below 500 oC. The exothermic decomposition energy can be determined using a suitable calorimetric technique; or
(d) For mixtures of inorganic oxidising substances with organic material(s), the concentration of the inorganic oxidising substance is:
less than 15 % by mass, if the oxidising substance is assigned to Categories 1 or 2;
less than 30 % by mass, if the oxidising substance is assigned to Category 3.

Where insufficient data are available to use these methods, test method EN 1839 as amended (Determination of explosion limits of gases and vapours) can be used.
2.3. Flammable aerosols
2.3.1. Definitions
Aerosols, this means aerosol dispensers, are any non-refillable receptacles made of metal, glass or plastics and containing a gas compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure, with or without a liquid, paste or powder, and fitted with a release device allowing the contents to be ejected as solid or liquid particles in suspension in a gas, as a foam, paste or powder or in a liquid state or in a gaseous state.
2.3.2. Classification criteria
2.3.2.1. Aerosols shall be considered for classification as flammable in accordance with 2.3.2.2 if they contain any component which is classified as flammable according to the criteria contained in this Part, i.e.:
Liquids with a flash point ≤ 93 oC, which includes Flammable Liquids according to section 2.6;
Flammable gases (see 2.2);
Flammable solids (see 2.7).
Note Note 1:
Flammable components do not cover pyrophoric, self-heating or water-reactive substances and mixtures because such components are never used as aerosol contents.
Note 2:
Flammable aerosols do not fall additionally within the scope of sections 2.2 (flammable gases), 2.6 (flammable liquids) or 2.7 (flammable solids).
2.3.2.2. A flammable aerosol shall be classified in one of the two categories for this Class on the basis of its components, of its chemical heat of combustion and, if applicable, of the results of the foam test (for foam aerosols) and of the ignition distance test and enclosed space test (for spray aerosols) in accordance with Figure 2.3.1 and the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, sub-sections 31.4, 31.5 and 31.6.

2.11.1. Definition
2.11.1.1. A self-heating substance or mixture is a liquid or solid substance or mixture, other than a pyrophoric liquid or solid, which, by reaction with air and without energy supply, is liable to self-heat; this substance or mixture differs from a pyrophoric liquid or solid in that it will ignite only when in large amounts (kilograms) and after long periods of time (hours or days).
2.11.1.2. Self-heating of substances or mixtures, leading to spontaneous combustion, is caused by reaction of the substance or mixture with oxygen (in the air) and the heat developed not being conducted away rapidly enough to the surroundings. Spontaneous combustion occurs when the rate of heat production exceeds the rate of heat loss and the auto-ignition temperature is reached.
2.11.1.2. Self-heating of a substance or a mixture is a process where the gradual reaction of that substance or mixture with oxygen (in the air) generates heat. If the rate of heat production exceeds the rate of heat loss, then the temperature of the substance or mixture will rise which, after an induction time, may lead to self-ignition and combustion.

The terms dust, mist and vapour are defined as follows:
Dust: solid particles of a substance or mixture suspended in a gas (usually air);
Mist: liquid droplets of a substance or mixture suspended in a gas (usually air);
Vapour: the gaseous form of a substance or mixture released from its liquid or solid state.
Dust is generally formed by mechanical processes. Mist is generally formed by condensation of supersaturated vapours or by physical shearing of liquids. Dusts and mists generally have sizes ranging from less than 1 to about 100 μm. dust: solid particles of a substance or mixture suspended in a gas (usually air),
mist: liquid droplets of a substance or mixture suspended in a gas (usually air),
vapour: the gaseous form of a substance or mixture released from its liquid or solid state.
Dust is generally formed by mechanical processes. Mist is generally formed by condensation of supersaturated vapours or by physical shearing of liquids. Dusts and mists generally have sizes ranging from less than 1 to about 100 μm.
3.1.2.2. Specific considerations for classification of substances as acutely toxic
3.1.2.2.1. The preferred test species for evaluation of acute toxicity by the oral and inhalation routes is the rat, while the rat or rabbit are preferred for evaluation of acute dermal toxicity. When experimental data for acute toxicity are available in several animal species, scientific judgement shall be used in selecting the most appropriate LD50 value from among valid, well-performed tests.
3.1.2.3. Specific considerations for classification of substances as acutely toxic by the inhalation route
3.1.2.3.1. Units for inhalation toxicity are a function of the form of the inhaled material. Values for dusts and mists are expressed in mg/l. Values for gases are expressed in ppmV. Acknowledging the difficulties in testing vapours, some of which consist of mixtures of liquid and vapour phases, the table provides values in units of mg/l. However, for those vapours which are near the gaseous phase, classification shall be based on ppmV.
3.1.2.3.2. Of particular importance in classifying for inhalation toxicity is the use of well articulated values in the high toxicity categories for dusts and mists. Inhaled particles between 1 and 4 microns mean mass aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) will deposit in all regions of the rat respiratory tract. This particle size range corresponds to a maximum dose of about 2 mg/l. In order to achieve applicability of animal experiments to human exposure, dusts and mists would ideally be tested in this range in rats.
3.1.2.3.3. In addition to classification for inhalation toxicity, if data are available that indicates that the mechanism of toxicity was corrosivity, the substance or mixture shall also be labelled as corrosive to the respiratory tract (see note 1 in 3.1.4.1). Corrosion of the respiratory tract is defined by destruction of the respiratory tract tissue after a single, limited period of exposure analogous to skin corrosion; this includes destruction of the mucosa. The corrosivity evaluation can be based on expert judgment using such evidence as: human and animal experience, existing (in vitro) data, pH values, information from similar substances or any other pertinent data.
3.1.3. Criteria for classification of mixtures as acutely toxic
3.1.3.1. The criteria for classification of substances for acute toxicity as outlined in section 3.1.2 are based on lethal dose data (tested or derived). For mixtures, it is necessary to obtain or derive information that allows the criteria to be applied to the mixture for the purpose of classification. The approach to classification for acute toxicity is tiered, and is dependent upon the amount of information available for the mixture itself and for its ingredients. The flow chart of Figure 3.1.1 outlines the process to be followed.
3.1.3.2. For acute toxicity each route of exposure shall be considered for the classification of mixtures, but only one route of exposure is needed as long as this route is followed (estimated or tested) for all ingredients. If the acute toxicity is determined for more than one route of exposure, the more severe hazard category will be used for classification. All available information shall be considered and all relevant routes of exposure shall be identified for hazard communication.
3.1.3.2. For acute toxicity each route of exposure shall be considered for the classification of mixtures, but only one route of exposure is needed as long as this route is followed (estimated or tested) for all components and there is no relevant evidence to suggest acute toxicity by multiple routes. When there is relevant evidence of toxicity by multiple routes of exposure, classification is to be conducted for all appropriate routes of exposure. All available information shall be considered. The pictogram and signal word used shall reflect the most severe hazard category and all relevant hazard statements shall be used.
3.1.3.3. In order to make use of all available data for purposes of classifying the hazards of the mixtures, certain assumptions have been made and are applied where appropriate in the tiered approach:
(a) the relevant ingredients of a mixture are those which are present in concentrations of 1 % (w/w for solids, liquids, dusts, mists and vapours and v/v for gases) or greater, unless there is a reason to suspect that an ingredient present at a concentration of less than 1 % is still relevant for classifying the mixture for acute toxicity (see Table 1.1).
(b) where a classified mixture is used as an ingredient of another mixture, the actual or derived acute toxicity estimate (ATE) for that mixture may be used, when calculating the classification of the new mixture using the formulas in section 3.1.3.6.1 and paragraph 3.1.3.6.2.3.
(c) If the converted acute toxicity point estimates for all components of a mixture are within the same category, then the mixture should be classified in that category.
(d) When only range data (or acute toxicity hazard category information) are available for components in a mixture, they may be converted to point estimates in accordance with Table 3.1.2 when calculating the classification of the new mixture using the formulas in sections 3.1.3.6.1 and 3.1.3.6.2.3.

3.1.3.5. Classification of mixtures where acute toxicity data are available for the complete mixture: bridging principles
3.1.3.5.1. Where the mixture itself has not been tested to determine its acute toxicity, but there are sufficient data on the individual ingredients and similar tested mixtures to adequately characterise the hazards of the mixture, these data shall be used in accordance with the bridging rules set out in section 1.1.3.
3.1.3.5.2. If a mixture is diluted with water or other totally non-toxic material, the toxicity of the mixture can be calculated from test data on the undiluted mixture.
3.1.3.5.2. If a tested mixture is diluted with a diluent that has an equivalent or lower toxicity classification than the least toxic original components, and which is not expected to affect the toxicity of other components, then the new diluted mixture may be classified as equivalent to the original tested mixture. Alternatively, the formula explained in section 3.1.3.6.1 can be applied.
3.1.3.6. Classification of mixtures based on ingredients of the mixture (Additivity formula)
3.1.3.6.1. Data available for all ingredients
In order to ensure that classification of the mixture is accurate, and that the calculation need only be performed once for all systems, sectors, and categories, the acute toxicity estimate (ATE) of ingredients shall be considered as follows:
(a) include ingredients with a known acute toxicity, which fall into any of the acute toxicity categories shown in Table 3.1.1;
(b) ignore ingredients that are presumed not acutely toxic (e.g., water, sugar);
(c) ignore ingredients if the oral limit test does not show acute toxicity at 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Ingredients that fall within the scope of this paragraph are considered to be ingredients with a known acute toxicity estimate (ATE). (c) ignore components if the data available are from a limit dose test (at the upper threshold for Category 4 for the appropriate route of exposure as provided in Table 3.1.1) and do not show acute toxicity.
Components that fall within the scope of this section are considered to be components with a known acute toxicity estimate (ATE). See note (b) to Table 3.1.1 and section 3.1.3.3 for appropriate application of available data to the equation below, and section 3.1.3.6.2.3.
The ATE of the mixture is determined by calculation from the ATE values for all relevant ingredients according to the following formula for Oral, Dermal or Inhalation Toxicity:
100ATEmix=ΣnCiATEi
where:
Ci
concentration of ingredient i ( % w/w or % v/v)
i
the individual ingredient from 1 to n
n
the number of ingredients
ATEi
Acute Toxicity Estimate of ingredient i.
3.1.3.6.2. Classification of mixtures when data are not available for all components
3.1.3.6.2.1. Where an ATE is not available for an individual ingredient of the mixture, but available information, such as that listed below, can provide a derived conversion value such as those laid out in Table 3.1.2, the formula in section 3.1.3.6.1 shall be applied.
This includes evaluation of:
(a) extrapolation between oral, dermal and inhalation acute toxicity estimatesFor ingredients with acute toxicity estimates available for other than the most appropriate exposure route, values may be extrapolated from the available exposure route(s) to the most appropriate route. Dermal and inhalation route data are not always required for ingredients. However, in case data requirements for specific ingredients include acute toxicity estimates for the dermal and inhalation route, the values to be used in the formula need to be from the required exposure route.. Such an evaluation could require appropriate pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data; (a) extrapolation between oral, dermal and inhalation acute toxicity estimatesWhen mixtures contain components that do not have acute toxicity data for each route of exposure, acute toxicity estimates may be extrapolated from the available data and applied to the appropriate routes (see section 3.1.3.2). However, specific legislation may require testing for a specific route. In those cases, classification shall be performed for that route based upon the legal requirements.. Such an evaluation could require appropriate pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data;
(b) evidence from human exposure that indicates toxic effects but does not provide lethal dose data;
(c) evidence from any other toxicity tests/assays available on the substance that indicates toxic acute effects but does not necessarily provide lethal dose data; or
(d) data from closely analogous substances using structure/activity relationships.
This approach generally requires substantial supplemental technical information, and a highly trained and experienced expert (expert judgement, see section 1.1.1), to reliably estimate acute toxicity. If such information is not available, proceed to paragraph 3.1.3.6.2.3.
3.1.3.6.2.2. In the event that an ingredient without any useable information at all is used in a mixture at a concentration of 1 % or greater, it is concluded that the mixture cannot be attributed a definitive acute toxicity estimate. In this situation the mixture shall be classified based on the known ingredients only, with the additional statement that x percent of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown toxicity.
3.1.3.6.2.2. In the event that a component without any useable information for classification is used in a mixture at a concentration of 1 % or greater, it is concluded that the mixture cannot be attributed a definitive acute toxicity estimate. In this situation the mixture shall be classified based on the known components only, with the additional statement on the label and in the SDS that: × percent of the mixture consists of component(s) of unknown toxicity.
3.1.3.6.2.3. If the total concentration of the ingredient(s) with unknown acute toxicity is ≤ 10 % then the formula presented in section 3.1.3.6.1 shall be used. If the total concentration of the ingredient(s) with unknown toxicity is > 10 %, the formula presented in section 3.1.3.6.1 shall be corrected to adjust for the total percentage of the unknown ingredient(s) as follows:

3.4.1.2. Skin sensitiser means a substance that will lead to an allergic response following skin contact.
3.4.1.3. For the purpose of section 3.4, sensitisation includes two phases: the first phase is induction of specialised immunological memory in an individual by exposure to an allergen. The second phase is elicitation, i.e. production of a cell-mediated or antibody-mediated allergic response by exposure of a sensitised individual to an allergen.
3.4.1.4. For respiratory sensitisation, the pattern of induction followed by elicitation phases is shared in common with skin sensitisation. For skin sensitisation, an induction phase is required in which the immune system learns to react; clinical symptoms can then arise when subsequent exposure is sufficient to elicit a visible skin reaction (elicitation phase). As a consequence, predictive tests usually follow this pattern in which there is an induction phase, the response to which is measured by a standardised elicitation phase, typically involving a patch test. The local lymph node assay is the exception, directly measuring the induction response. Evidence of skin sensitisation in humans normally is assessed by a diagnostic patch test.
3.4.1.5. Usually, for both skin and respiratory sensitisation, lower levels are necessary for elicitation than are required for induction. Provisions for alerting sensitised individuals to the presence of a particular sensitiser in a mixture can be found at section 3.4.4. 3.4.1.5. Usually, for both skin and respiratory sensitisation, lower levels are necessary for elicitation than are required for induction. Provisions for alerting sensitised individuals to the presence of a particular sensitiser in a mixture can be found in Annex II, section 2.8..

Respiratory Sensitisation; Respiratory Sensitisation and;

Effects seen in either humans or animals will normally justify classification in a weight of evidence approach for respiratory sensitisers. Substances may be allocated to one of the two sub-categories 1A or 1B using a weight of evidence approach in accordance with the criteria given in Table 3.4.1 and on the basis of reliable and good quality evidence from human cases or epidemiological studies and/or observations from appropriate studies in experimental animals.

(a) if there is evidence in humans that the substance can lead to specific respiratory hypersensitivity and/or (a) if there is evidence in humans that the substance can lead to specific respiratory hypersensitivity; and/or
(b) if there are positive results from an appropriate animal test.
Sub-category 1A:
Substances showing a high frequency of occurrence in humans; or a probability of occurrence of a high sensitisation rate in humans based on animal or other tests. Severity of reaction may also be considered.

3.4.2.1.1 Human evidence
3.4.2.1.1.1. Evidence that a substance can induce specific respiratory hypersensitivity will normally be based on human experience. In this context, hypersensitivity is normally seen as asthma, but other hypersensitivity reactions such as rhinitis/conjunctivitis and alveolitis are also considered. The condition will have the clinical character of an allergic reaction. However, immunological mechanisms do not have to be demonstrated.
3.4.2.1.1.2. When considering the human evidence, it is necessary for a decision on classification to take into account, in addition to the evidence from the cases:

(iii) studies that indicate other specific hypersensitivity reactions where immunological mechanisms of action have not been proven, e.g. repeated low-level irritation, pharmacologically mediated effects;
(iv) a chemical structure related to substances known to cause respiratory hypersensitivity;
(b) data from one or more positive bronchial challenge tests with the substance conducted according to accepted guidelines for the determination of a specific hypersensitivity reaction.
3.4.2.1.1.4. Clinical history shall include both medical and occupational history to determine a relationship between exposure to a specific substance and development of respiratory hypersensitivity.

3.4.2.2. Skin sensitisers
3.4.2.2.1. Substances shall be classified as skin sensitisers (Category 1) in accordance with the criteria in Table 3.4.2:
3.4.2.2.1. Hazard categories
3.4.2.2.1.1.
Skin sensitisers shall be classified in Category 1 where data are not sufficient for sub-categorisation.
3.4.2.2.1.2.
Where data are sufficient a refined evaluation according to section 3.4.2.2.1.3 allows the allocation of skin sensitisers into sub-category 1A, strong sensitisers, or sub-category 1B for other skin sensitisers.
3.4.2.2.1.3.
Effects seen in either humans or animals will normally justify classification in a weight of evidence approach for skin sensitisers as described in section 3.4.2.2.2. Substances may be allocated to one of the two sub-categories 1A or 1B using a weight of evidence approach in accordance with the criteria given in Table 3.4.2 and on the basis of reliable and good quality evidence from human cases or epidemiological studies and/or observations from appropriate studies in experimental animals according to the guidance values provided in sections 3.4.2.2.2.1 and 3.4.2.2.3.2 for sub-category 1A and in sections 3.4.2.2.2.2 and 3.4.2.2.3.3 for sub-category 1B.

Substances shall be classified as skin sensitisers (Category 1) in accordance with the following criteria: Category 1
Substances shall be classified as skin sensitisers (Category 1) where data are not sufficient for sub-categorisation in accordance with the following criteria:
(i) if there is evidence in humans that the substance can lead to sensitisation by skin contact in a substantial number of persons, or (a) if there is evidence in humans that the substance can lead to sensitisation by skin contact in a substantial number of persons; or
(ii) if there are positive results from an appropriate animal test (see specific criteria in paragraph 3.4.2.2.4.1). (b) if there are positive results from an appropriate animal test (see specific criteria in section 3.4.2.2.4.1).
Sub-category 1A:
Substances showing a high frequency of occurrence in humans and/or a high potency in animals can be presumed to have the potential to produce significant sensitisation in humans. Severity of reaction may also be considered.
Sub-category 1B:
Substances showing a low to moderate frequency of occurrence in humans and/or a low to moderate potency in animals can be presumed to have the potential to produce sensitisation in humans. Severity of reaction may also be considered.
3.4.2.2.2. Specific considerations
3.4.2.2.2.1. For classification of a substance as a skin sensitiser, evidence shall include any or all of the following: 3.4.2.2.2. Human evidence
3.4.2.2.2.1.
Human evidence for sub-category 1A can include:
(a) positive responses at ≤ 500 μg/cm2 (HRIPT, HMT — induction threshold);
(b) diagnostic patch test data where there is a relatively high and substantial incidence of reactions in a defined population in relation to relatively low exposure;
(c) other epidemiological evidence where there is a relatively high and substantial incidence of allergic contact dermatitis in relation to relatively low exposure.
3.4.2.2.2.2.
Human evidence for sub-category 1B can include:
(a) positive responses at > 500 μg/cm2 (HRIPT, HMT — induction threshold);
(b) diagnostic patch test data where there is a relatively low but substantial incidence of reactions in a defined population in relation to relatively high exposure;
(c) other epidemiological evidence where there is a relatively low but substantial incidence of allergic contact dermatitis in relation to relatively high exposure.
The use of human data is discussed in sections 1.1.1.3, 1.1.1.4 and 1.1.1.5.
3.4.2.2.3. Animal studies
3.4.2.2.3.1.
For Category 1, when an adjuvant type test method for skin sensitisation is used, a response of at least 30 % of the animals is considered as positive. For a non-adjuvant Guinea pig test method a response of at least 15 % of the animals is considered positive. For Category 1, a stimulation index of three or more is considered a positive response in the local lymph node assay. Test methods for skin sensitisation are described in the OECD Guideline 406 (the Guinea Pig Maximisation test and the Buehler guinea pig test) and Guideline 429 (Local Lymph Node Assay). Other methods may be used provided that they are well-validated and scientific justification is given. For example, the mouse ear swelling test (MEST) could be a reliable screening test to detect moderate to strong sensitisers, and could be used as a first stage in the assessment of skin sensitisation potential.

3.4.2.2.4. Specific considerations
3.4.2.2.4.1.
For classification of a substance, evidence should include any or all of the following using a weight of evidence approach:
(a) positive data from patch testing, normally obtained in more than one dermatology clinic;
(b) epidemiological studies showing allergic contact dermatitis caused by the substance; Situations in which a high proportion of those exposed exhibit characteristic symptoms are to be looked at with special concern, even if the number of cases is small; (b) epidemiological studies showing allergic contact dermatitis caused by the substance. Situations in which a high proportion of those exposed exhibit characteristic symptoms are to be looked at with special concern, even if the number of cases is small;
(c) positive data from appropriate animal studies;
(d) positive data from experimental studies on humans (see Article 7(3)); (d) positive data from experimental studies in man (see section 1.3.2.4.7);
(e) well documented episodes of allergic contact dermatitis, normally obtained in more than one dermatology clinic.
The use of human data is discussed in paragraphs 1.1.1.3, 1.1.1.4 and 1.1.1.5.
3.4.2.2.2.2. Positive effects seen in either humans or animals will normally justify classification. Evidence from animal studies (see section 3.4.2.2.4) is usually much more reliable than evidence from human exposure. However, in cases where evidence is available from both sources, and there is conflict between the results, the quality and reliability of the evidence from both sources must be assessed in order to resolve the question of classification on a case-by-case basis. Normally, human data are not generated in controlled experiments with volunteers for the purpose of hazard classification but rather as part of risk assessment to confirm lack of effects seen in animal tests. Consequently, positive human data on skin sensitisation are usually derived from case-control or other, less defined studies. Evaluation of human data must therefore be carried out with caution, as the frequency of cases reflect, in addition to the intrinsic properties of the substances, factors such as the exposure situation, bioavailability, individual predisposition and preventive measures taken. Negative human data can not normally be used to negate positive results from animal studies.
3.4.2.2.2.3. If none of the above mentioned conditions are met the substance need not be classified as a skin sensitiser. However, a combination of two or more indicators of skin sensitisation as listed below may alter the decision, which shall be considered on a case-by-case basis: (e) well documented episodes of allergic contact dermatitis, normally obtained in more than one dermatology clinic;
(a) isolated episodes of allergic contact dermatitis; (f) severity of reaction may also be considered.
3.4.2.2.4.2.
Evidence from animal studies is usually much more reliable than evidence from human exposure. However, in cases where evidence is available from both sources, and there is conflict between the results, the quality and reliability of the evidence from both sources must be assessed in order to resolve the question of classification on a case-by-case basis. Normally, human data are not generated in controlled experiments with volunteers for the purpose of hazard classification but rather as part of risk assessment to confirm lack of effects seen in animal tests. Consequently, positive human data on skin sensitisation are usually derived from case-control or other, less defined studies. Evaluation of human data must therefore be carried out with caution as the frequency of cases reflect, in addition to the inherent properties of the substances, factors such as the exposure situation, bioavailability, individual predisposition and preventive measures taken. Negative human data should not normally be used to negate positive results from animal studies. For both animal and human data, consideration should be given to the impact of vehicle.
3.4.2.2.4.3.
If none of the abovementioned conditions are met, the substance need not be classified as a skin sensitiser. However, a combination of two or more indicators of skin sensitisation as listed below may alter the decision. This shall be considered on a case-by-case basis.
(a) Isolated episodes of allergic contact dermatitis;
(b) epidemiological studies of limited power, e.g. where chance, bias or confounders have not been ruled out fully with reasonable confidence;
(c) data from animal tests, performed according to existing guidelines, which do not meet the criteria for a positive result described in paragraph 3.4.2.2.4.1, but which are sufficiently close to the limit to be considered significant; (c) data from animal tests, performed according to existing guidelines, which do not meet the criteria for a positive result described in section 3.4.2.2.3, but which are sufficiently close to the limit to be considered significant;
(d) positive data from non-standard methods;
(e) positive results from close structural analogues.
3.4.2.2.4.4. Immunological contact urticaria
Substances meeting the criteria for classification as respiratory sensitisers may in addition cause immunological contact urticaria. Consideration should be given to classifying these substances also as skin sensitisers. Substances which cause immunological contact urticaria without meeting the criteria for respiratory sensitisers should also be considered for classification as skin sensitisers.
There is no recognised animal model available to identify substances which cause immunological contact urticaria. Therefore, classification will normally be based on human evidence which will be similar to that for skin sensitisation.
3.4.2.2.3. Immunological contact urticaria
3.4.2.2.3.1. Some substances meeting the criteria for classification as respiratory sensitisers may in addition cause immunological contact urticaria. Consideration shall be given to classifying these substances also as skin sensitisers and including information concerning contact urticaria on the label or in the SDS using appropriate warning information.
3.4.2.2.3.2. For substances which produce signs of immunological contact urticaria but which do not fulfil the criteria as a respiratory sensitiser, consideration shall be given to classification as a skin sensitiser. There is no recognised animal model available to identify substances which cause immunological contact urticaria. Therefore, classification will normally be based on human evidence, which will be similar to that for skin sensitisation.
3.4.2.2.4. Animal studies
3.4.2.2.4.1. When an adjuvant type guinea pig test method for skin sensitisation is used, a response of at least 30 % of the animals is considered as positive. For a non-adjuvant guinea pig test method a response of at least 15 % of the animals is considered positive. Test methods for skin sensitisation described in Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 adopted in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Test Method Regulation) shall be used, or other methods provided that they are well-validated and scientific justification is given.
3.4.3. Classification criteria for mixtures
3.4.3.1. Classification of mixtures when data are available for the complete mixture
3.4.3.1.1. When reliable and good quality evidence from human experience or appropriate studies in experimental animals, as described in the criteria for substances, is available for the mixture, then the mixture can be classified by weight of evidence evaluation of these data. Care shall be exercised in evaluating data on mixtures, that the dose used does not render the results inconclusive.
3.4.3.2. Classification of mixtures when data are not available for the complete mixture: bridging principles
3.4.3.2.1. Where the mixture itself has not been tested to determine its sensitising properties, but there are sufficient data on the individual ingredients and similar tested mixtures to adequately characterise the hazards of the mixture, these data shall be used in accordance with the bridging rules set out in section 1.1.3.
3.4.3.3. Classification of mixtures when data are available for all ingredients or only for some ingredients of the mixture
3.4.3.3.1. The mixture shall be classified as a respiratory or skin sensitiser when at least one ingredient has been classified as a respiratory or skin sensitiser and is present at or above the appropriate generic concentration limit as shown in Table 3.4.3 for solid/liquid and gas respectively.
3.4.3.3.2. Some substances that are classified as sensitisers may elicit a response, when present in a mixture in quantities below the concentrations established in Table 3.4.1, in individuals who are already sensitised to the substance or mixture (see Note 1 to Table 3.4.3). 3.4.3.3.1. The mixture shall be classified as a respiratory or skin sensitiser when at least one ingredient has been classified as a respiratory or skin sensitiser and is present at or above the appropriate generic concentration limit as shown in Table 3.4.5 for solid/liquid and gas respectively.
3.4.3.3.2. Some substances that are classified as sensitisers may elicit a response, when present in a mixture in quantities below the concentrations established in Table 3.4.5, in individuals who are already sensitised to the substance or mixture (see Note 1 to Table 3.4.6).

3.5. Germ cell mutagenicity
3.5.1. Definitions and general considerations
3.5.1.1. A mutation means a permanent change in the amount or structure of the genetic material in a cell. The term mutation applies both to heritable genetic changes that may be manifested at the phenotypic level and to the underlying DNA modifications when known (including specific base pair changes and chromosomal translocations). The term mutagenic and mutagen will be used for agents giving rise to an increased occurrence of mutations in populations of cells and/or organisms.
3.5.1.2. The more general terms genotoxic and genotoxicity apply to agents or processes which alter the structure, information content, or segregation of DNA, including those which cause DNA damage by interfering with normal replication processes, or which in a non-physiological manner (temporarily) alter its replication. Genotoxicity test results are usually taken as indicators for mutagenic effects.
3.5.2. Classification criteria for substances
3.5.2.1. This hazard class is primarily concerned with substances that may cause mutations in the germ cells of humans that can be transmitted to the progeny. However, the results from mutagenicity or genotoxicity tests in vitro and in mammalian somatic and germ cells in vivo are also considered in classifying substances and mixtures within this hazard class.
3.5.2.2. For the purpose of classification for germ cell mutagenicity, substances are allocated to one of two categories as shown in Table 3.5.1.
Table 3.5.1
Hazard categories for germ cell mutagens
Categories
Criteria
CATEGORY 1:
Substances known to induce heritable mutations or to be regarded as if they induce heritable mutations in the germ cells of humans.
Substances known to induce heritable mutations in the germ cells of humans.
Category 1A:
The classification in Category 1A is based on positive evidence from human epidemiological studies.
Substances to be regarded as if they induce heritable mutations in the germ cells of humans.
Category 1B:
The classification in Category 1B is based on:
positive result(s) from in vivo heritable germ cell mutagenicity tests in mammals; or
positive result(s) from in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity tests in mammals, in combination with some evidence that the substance has potential to cause mutations to germ cells. It is possible to derive this supporting evidence from mutagenicity/genotoxicity tests in germ cells in vivo, or by demonstrating the ability of the substance or its metabolite(s) to interact with the genetic material of germ cells; or
positive results from tests showing mutagenic effects in the germ cells of humans, without demonstration of transmission to progeny; for example, an increase in the frequency of aneuploidy in sperm cells of exposed people.
CATEGORY 2:
Substances which cause concern for humans owing to the possibility that they may induce heritable mutations in the germ cells of humans
The classification in Category 2 is based on:
positive evidence obtained from experiments in mammals and/or in some cases from in vitro experiments, obtained from:
somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo, in mammals; or
other in vivo somatic cell genotoxicity tests which are supported by positive results from in vitro mutagenicity assays.
Note: Substances which are positive in in vitro mammalian mutagenicity assays, and which also show chemical structure activity relationship to known germ cell mutagens, shall be considered for classification as Category 2 mutagens.
3.5.2.3. Specific considerations for classification of substances as germ cell mutagens
3.5.2.3.1. To arrive at a classification, test results are considered from experiments determining mutagenic and/or genotoxic effects in germ and/or somatic cells of exposed animals. Mutagenic and/or genotoxic effects determined in in vitro tests shall also be considered.
3.5.2.3.2. The system is hazard based, classifying substances on the basis of their intrinsic ability to induce mutations in germ cells. The scheme is, therefore, not meant for the (quantitative) risk assessment of substances.
3.5.2.3.3. Classification for heritable effects in human germ cells is made on the basis of well conducted, sufficiently validated tests, preferably as described in Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 adopted in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Test Method Regulation) such as those listed in the following paragraphs. Evaluation of the test results shall be done using expert judgement and all the available evidence shall be weighed in arriving at a classification.
3.5.2.3.4. In vivo heritable germ cell mutagenicity tests, such as:
… 732 unchanged lines …
Note 1
If a Category 2 specific target organ toxicant is present in the mixture as an ingredient at a concentration ≥ 1,0 % a SDS shall be available for the mixture upon request.
3.8.3.4.4. Care shall be exercised when toxicants affecting more than one organ system are combined that the potentiation or synergistic interactions are considered, because certain substances can cause target organ toxicity at < 1 % concentration when other ingredients in the mixture are known to potentiate its toxic effect.
3.8.3.4.5. Care shall be exercised when extrapolating toxicity of a mixture that contains Category 3 ingredient(s). A generic concentration limit of 20 % is appropriate; however, it shall be recognised that this concentration limit may be higher or lower depending on the Category 3 ingredient(s) and that some effects such as respiratory tract irritation may not occur below a certain concentration while other effects such as narcotic effects may occur below this 20 % value. Expert judgement shall be exercised. 3.8.3.4.5. Care shall be exercised when extrapolating toxicity of a mixture that contains Category 3 ingredient(s). A generic concentration limit of 20 % is appropriate; however, it shall be recognised that this concentration limit may be higher or lower depending on the Category 3 ingredient(s) and that some effects such as respiratory tract irritation may not occur below a certain concentration while other effects such as narcotic effects may occur below this 20 % value. Expert judgement shall be exercised.Respiratory tract irritation and narcotic effects are to be evaluated separately in accordance with the criteria given in section 3.8.2.2. When conducting classifications for these hazards, the contribution of each component should be considered additive, unless there is evidence that the effects are not additive.

3.9.1. Definitions and general considerations
3.9.1.1. Target organ toxicity (repeated exposure) means specific, target organ toxicity arising from a repeated exposure to a substance or mixture. All significant health effects that can impair function, both reversible and irreversible, immediate and/or delayed are included. However, other specific toxic effects that are specifically addressed in sections 3.1 to 3.8 and 3.10 are not included here.
3.9.1.2. Classification for target organ toxicity (repeated exposure) identifies the substance as being a specific target organ toxicant and, as such, it may present a potential for adverse health effects in people who are exposed to it. 3.9.1.2. Classification for target organ toxicity (repeated exposure) identifies the substance or mixture as being a specific target organ toxicant and, as such, it may present a potential for adverse health effects in people who are exposed to it.
3.9.1.3. These adverse health effects include consistent and identifiable toxic effects in humans, or, in experimental animals, toxicologically significant changes which have affected the function or morphology of a tissue/organ, or have produced serious changes to the biochemistry or haematology of the organism and these changes are relevant for human health.
3.9.1.4. Assessment shall take into consideration not only significant changes in a single organ or biological system but also generalised changes of a less severe nature involving several organs.
3.9.1.5. Specific target organ toxicity can occur by any route that is relevant for humans, i.e. principally oral, dermal or inhalation.

3.10.1.6.2. The classification criteria refer to kinematic viscosity. The following provides the conversion between dynamic and kinematic viscosity:
Dynamic viscosity mPa sDensity g/cm3=Kinematic viscosity mm2/s
3.10.1.6.2a Although the definition of aspiration in section 3.10.1.2 includes the entry of solids into the respiratory system, classification according to point (b) in Table 3.10.1 for Category 1 is intended to apply to liquid substances and mixtures only.
3.10.1.6.3. Classification of aerosol/mist products
Aerosol and mist forms of a substance or a mixture (product) are usually dispensed in containers such as self-pressurised containers, trigger and pump sprayers. The key to classifying these products is whether a pool of product is formed in the mouth, which then may be aspirated. If the mist or aerosol from a pressurised container is fine, a pool may not be formed. On the other hand, if a pressurised container dispenses product in a stream, a pool may be formed that may then be aspirated. Usually, the mist produced by trigger and pump sprayers is coarse and therefore, a pool may be formed that then may be aspirated. When the pump mechanism may be removed, and the contents are available to be swallowed then the classification of the substance or mixture shall be considered.

4.1. Hazardous to the aquatic environment
4.1.1. Definitions and General Considerations 4.1.1. Definitions and general considerations
4.1.1.1. Definitions
Acute aquatic toxicity means the intrinsic property of a substance to be injurious to an organism in a short-term exposure to that substance.
Availability of a substance means the extent to which this substance becomes a soluble or disaggregate species. For metal availability, the extent to which the metal ion portion of a metal (Mo) compound can disaggregate from the rest of the compound (molecule).
Bioavailability (or biological availability) means the extent to which a substance is taken up by an organism, and distributed to an area within the organism. It is dependent upon physico-chemical properties of the substance, anatomy and physiology of the organism, pharmacokinetics, and route of exposure. Availability is not a prerequisite for bioavailability.
Bioaccumulation means the net result of uptake, transformation and elimination of a substance in an organism due to all routes of exposure (i.e. air, water, sediment/soil and food).
Bioconcentration means the net result of uptake, transformation and elimination of a substance in an organism due to waterborne exposure.
Chronic aquatic toxicity means the intrinsic property of a substance to cause adverse effects to aquatic organisms during exposures which are determined in relation to the life-cycle of the organism.
Degradation means the decomposition of organic molecules to smaller molecules and eventually to carbon dioxide, water and salts.
(a) acute aquatic toxicity means the intrinsic property of a substance to be injurious to an aquatic organism in a short-term aquatic exposure to that substance.
(b) acute (short-term) hazard means for classification purposes the hazard of a substance or mixture caused by its acute toxicity to an organism during short-term aquatic exposure to that substance or mixture.
(c) availability of a substance means the extent to which this substance becomes a soluble or disaggregate species. For metal availability, the extent to which the metal ion portion of a metal (M°) compound can disaggregate from the rest of the compound (molecule).
(d) bioavailability or biological availability means the extent to which a substance is taken up by an organism, and distributed to an area within the organism. It is dependent upon physico-chemical properties of the substance, anatomy and physiology of the organism, pharmacokinetics, and route of exposure. Availability is not a prerequisite for bioavailability.
(e) bioaccumulation means the net result of uptake, transformation and elimination of a substance in an organism due to all routes of exposure (i.e. air, water, sediment/soil and food).
(f) bioconcentration means the net result of uptake, transformation and elimination of a substance in an organism due to waterborne exposure.
(g) chronic aquatic toxicity means the intrinsic property of a substance to cause adverse effects to aquatic organisms during aquatic exposures which are determined in relation to the life-cycle of the organism.
(h) degradation means the decomposition of organic molecules to smaller molecules and eventually to carbon dioxide, water and salts.
(i) ECx means the effect concentration associated with x% response.
(j) long-term hazard means for classification purposes the hazard of a substance or mixture caused by its chronic toxicity following long-term exposure in the aquatic environment.
(k) no observed effect concentration (NOEC) means the test concentration immediately below the lowest tested concentration with statistically significant adverse effect. The NOEC has no statistically significant adverse effect compared to the control.
4.1.1.2. Basic elements
4.1.1.2.0. Hazardous to the Aquatic Environment is differentiated into: 4.1.1.2.0.
Hazardous to the aquatic environment is differentiated into:
Acute aquatic hazard;
Chronic (long term) aquatic hazard.
4.1.1.2.1. The basic elements used for classification for aquatic environmental hazards are: acute aquatic hazard,
long-term aquatic hazard.
4.1.1.2.1.
The basic elements used for classification for aquatic environmental hazards are:
Acute aquatic toxicity;
Potential for or actual bioaccumulation;
Degradation (biotic or abiotic) for organic chemicals; and
Chronic aquatic toxicity.
4.1.1.2.2. Preferably data shall be derived using the standardised test methods referred to in Article 8(3). In practice data from other standardised test methods such as national methods shall also be used where they are considered as equivalent. Where valid data are available from non-standard testing and from non-testing methods, these shall be considered in classification provided they fulfil the requirements specified in section 1 of Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. In general, both freshwater and marine species toxicity data are considered suitable for use in classification provided the test method used are equivalent. Where such data are not available classification shall be based on the best available data. See also Part 1. acute aquatic toxicity,
chronic aquatic toxicity,
potential for or actual bioaccumulation, and
degradation (biotic or abiotic) for organic chemicals.

Where such data are not available classification shall be based on the best available data. See also Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
4.1.1.3. Other considerations
4.1.1.3.1. Classification of substances and mixtures for environmental hazards requires the identification of the hazards they present to the aquatic environment. The aquatic environment is considered in terms of the aquatic organisms that live in the water, and the aquatic ecosystem of which they are part. The basis, therefore, of the identification of hazard is the aquatic toxicity of the substance or mixture, although this shall be modified by taking account of further information on the degradation and bioaccumulation behaviour, if appropriate.
4.1.1.3.2. While the classification system applies to all substances and mixtures, it is recognised that for special cases the Agency will issue guidance. 4.1.1.3.1.
Classification of substances and mixtures for environmental hazards requires the identification of the hazards they present to the aquatic environment. The aquatic environment is considered in terms of the aquatic organisms that live in the water, and the aquatic ecosystem of which they are part. The basis, therefore, of the identification of acute (short-term) and long-term hazards is the aquatic toxicity of the substance or mixture, although this shall be modified by taking account of further information on the degradation and bioaccumulation behaviour, if appropriate.
4.1.1.3.2.
While the classification system applies to all substances and mixtures, it is recognised that for special cases (e.g. metals) the European Chemicals Agency has issued guidance.
4.1.2. Classification criteria for substances
4.1.2.1. The core classification system for substances consists of one acute classification category and three chronic classification categories. The acute and the chronic classification categories are applied independently. The criteria for classification of a substance in acute Category 1 are defined on the basis of acute aquatic toxicity data only (EC50 or LC50). The criteria for classification of a substance into the chronic categories combine two types of information, i.e. acute aquatic toxicity data and environmental fate data (degradability and bioaccumulation data).
4.1.2.2. The system also introduces a safety net classification (referred to as Chronic Category 4) for use when the data available do not allow classification under the formal criteria but there are nevertheless some grounds for concern (see example in table 4.1.0).
4.1.2.3. The system for classification recognises that the core intrinsic hazard to aquatic organisms is represented by both the acute and chronic toxicity of a substance. Separate hazard categories are defined for both properties representing a gradation in the level of hazard identified. The lowest of the available toxicity values shall normally be used to define the appropriate hazard category(ies). There are circumstances, however, when a weight of evidence approach is appropriate.
4.1.2.4. The principal hazard of a hazardous to the aquatic environment substance is defined by chronic toxicity, although acute toxicity at L(E)C50 levels ≤ 1 mg/l are also considered hazardous. The intrinsic properties of a lack of rapid degradability and/or a potential to bioconcentrate in combination with acute toxicity are used to assign a substance to a chronic (long term) hazard category.
4.1.2.5. Substances with acute toxicities well below 1 mg/l contribute as components of a mixture to the toxicity of the mixture even at a low concentration and shall normally be given increased weight in applying the summation of classification approach (see note 1 of Table 4.1.0 and 4.1.3.5.5).
4.1.2.6. The criteria for classifying and categorising substances as hazardous to the aquatic environment are summarised in Table 4.1.0. 4.1.2.1.
The system for classification recognises that the intrinsic hazard to aquatic organisms is represented by both the acute and long-term hazard of a substance. For the long-term hazard, separate hazard categories are defined representing a gradation in the level of hazard identified. The lowest of the available toxicity values between and within the different trophic levels (fish, crustacean, algae/aquatic plants) shall normally be used to define the appropriate hazard category(ies). There are circumstances, however, when a weight of evidence approach is appropriate.
4.1.2.2.
The core classification system for substances consists of one acute hazard classification category and three long-term hazard classification categories. The acute and the long-term hazard classification categories are applied independently.
4.1.2.3.
The criteria for classification of a substance in category Acute 1 are defined on the basis of acute aquatic toxicity data only (EC50 or LC50). The criteria for classification of a substance into the categories Chronic 1 to 3 follow a tiered approach where the first step is to see if available information on chronic toxicity merits long-term hazard classification. In absence of adequate chronic toxicity data, the subsequent step is to combine two types of information, i.e. acute aquatic toxicity data and environmental fate data (degradability and bioaccumulation data) (see figure 4.1.1).
Figure 4.1.1
Categories for substances long-term hazardous to the aquatic environment
Are there adequate chronic toxicity data available for all three trophic levels?
Yes
Classify according to the criteria given in Table 4.1.0(b) (i) or 4.1.0(b)(ii) depending on information on rapid degradation
No
Are there adequate chronic toxicity data available for one or two trophic levels?
Yes
Assess both:
(a) according to the criteria given in Table 4.1.0(b)(i) or 4.1.0(b)(ii) (depending on information on rapid degradation), and
(b) (if for the other trophic level(s) adequate acute toxicity data are available) according to the criteria given in Table 4.1.0(b) (iii),
and classify according to the most stringent outcome
No
Are there adequate acute toxicity data available?
Yes
Classify according to the criteria given in Table 4.1.0(b) (iii)
4.1.2.4.
The system also introduces a safety net classification (referred to as category Chronic 4) for use when the data available do not allow classification under the formal criteria for acute 1 or chronic 1 to 3 but there are nevertheless some grounds for concern (see example in Table 4.1.0).
4.1.2.5.
Substances with acute toxicities below 1 mg/l or chronic toxicities below 0,1 mg/l (if non-rapidly degradable) and 0,01 mg/l (if rapidly degradable) contribute as components of a mixture to the toxicity of the mixture even at a low concentration and shall normally be given increased weight in applying the summation of classification approach (see note 1 of Table 4.1.0 and section 4.1.3.5.5).

Safety net classification
Chronic Category 4
Cases when data do not allow classification under the above criteria but there are nevertheless some grounds for concern. This includes, for example, poorly soluble substances for which no acute toxicity is recorded at levels up to the water solubility (note 3), and which are not rapidly degradable and have an experimentally determined BCF ≥ 500 (or, if absent, a log Kow ≥ 4), indicating a potential to bioaccumulate, will be classified in this category unless other scientific evidence exists showing classification to be unnecessary. Such evidence includes chronic toxicity NOECs > water solubility or > 1 mg/l, or evidence of rapid degradation in the environment. Category Chronic 4
Cases when data do not allow classification under the above criteria but there are nevertheless some grounds for concern. This includes, for example, poorly soluble substances for which no acute toxicity is recorded at levels up to the water solubility (note 4), and which are not rapidly degradable in accordance with section 4.1.2.9.5 and have an experimentally determined BCF ≥ 500 (or, if absent, a log Kow ≥ 4), indicating a potential to bioaccumulate, which will be classified in this category unless other scientific evidence exists showing classification to be unnecessary. Such evidence includes chronic toxicity NOECs > water solubility or > 1 mg/l, or other evidence of rapid degradation in the environment than the ones provided by any of the methods listed in section 4.1.2.9.5.
Note 1
When classifying substances as Acute Category 1 and/or Chronic Category 1 it is necessary at the same time to indicate an appropriate M-factor (see table 4.1.3). Note 1:
When classifying substances as Acute Category 1 and/or Chronic Category 1 it is necessary at the same time to indicate the appropriate M-factor(s) (see Table 4.1.3).
Note 2 Note 2:
Classification shall be based on the ErC50 [= EC50 (growth rate)]. In circumstances where the basis of the EC50 is not specified or no ErC50 is recorded, classification shall be based on the lowest EC50 available.
Note 3 Note 3:
When no useful data on degradability are available, either experimentally determined or estimated data, the substance should be regarded as not rapidly degradable.
Note 4:
No acute toxicity is taken to mean that the L(E)C50(s) is/are above the water solubility. Also for poorly soluble substances, (water solubility < 1 mg/l), where there is evidence that the acute test does not provide a true measure of the intrinsic toxicity.
4.1.2.7. Aquatic toxicity
4.1.2.7.1. Acute aquatic toxicity is normally determined using a fish 96 hour LC50, a crustacea species 48 hour EC50 and/or an algal species 72 or 96 hour EC50. These species cover a range of trophic levels and taxa and are considered as surrogate for all aquatic organisms. Data on other species (e.g. Lemna spp.) shall also be considered if the test methodology is suitable. The aquatic plant growth inhibition tests are normally considered as chronic tests but the EC50s are treated as acute values for classification purposes (see note 2).
4.1.2.7.2. For determining chronic aquatic toxicity for classification purposes data generated according to the standardised test methods referred to in Article 8(3) shall be accepted, as well as results obtained from other validated and internationally accepted test methods. The NOECS or other equivalent L(E)Cx (e.g. EC10) shall be used. 4.1.2.7.1.

Data on other species (e.g. Lemna spp.) shall also be considered if the test methodology is suitable.

The NOECs or other equivalent ECx (e.g. EC10) shall be used.
4.1.2.8. Bioaccumulation
4.1.2.8.1. Bioaccumulation of substances within aquatic organisms can give rise to toxic effects over longer time scales even when actual water concentrations are low. For organic substances the potential for bioaccumulation shall normally be determined by using the octanol/water partition coefficient, usually reported as a log Kow. The relationship between the log Kow of an organic substance and its bioconcentration as measured by the bioconcentration factor (BCF) in fish has considerable scientific literature support. Using a cut-off value of log Kow ≥ 4 is intended to identify only those substances with a real potential to bioconcentrate. While this represents a potential to bioaccumulate, an experimentally determined BCF provides a better measure and shall be used in preference if available. A BCF in fish of ≥ 500 is indicative of the potential to bioconcentrate for classification purposes. 4.1.2.8.1.

A BCF in fish of ≥ 500 is indicative of the potential to bioconcentrate for classification purposes. Some relationships can be observed between chronic toxicity and bioaccumulation potential, as toxicity is related to the body burden.
4.1.2.9. Rapid degradability of organic substances
4.1.2.9.1. Substances that rapidly degrade can be quickly removed from the environment. While effects of such substances can occur, particularly in the event of a spillage or accident, they are localised and of short duration. In the absence of rapid degradation in the environment a substance in the water has the potential to exert toxicity over a wide temporal and spatial scale.
4.1.2.9.2. One way of demonstrating rapid degradation utilises the biodegradation screening tests designed to determine whether an organic substance is readily biodegradable. Where such data are not available, a BOD(5 days)/COD ratio ≥ 0,5 is considered as indicative of rapid degradation. Thus, a substance which passes this screening test is considered likely to biodegrade rapidly in the aquatic environment, and is thus unlikely to be persistent. However, a fail in the screening test does not necessarily mean that the substance will not degrade rapidly in the environment. Other evidence of rapid degradation in the environment may therefore also be considered and are of particular importance where the substances are inhibitory to microbial activity at the concentration levels used in standard testing. Thus, a further classification criterion is included which allows the use of data to show that the substance did actually degrade biotically or abiotically in the aquatic environment by > 70 % in 28 days. Thus, if degradation is demonstrated under environmentally realistic conditions, then the criterion of rapid degradability is met.
4.1.2.9.3. Many degradation data are available in the form of degradation half-lives and these can be used in defining rapid degradation provided that ultimate biodegradation of the substance, i.e. full mineralisation, is achieved. Primary biodegradation does not normally suffice in the assessment of rapid degradability unless it can be demonstrated that the degradation products do not fulfil the criteria for classification as hazardous to the aquatic environment.
4.1.2.9.4. The criteria used reflect the fact that environmental degradation may be biotic or abiotic. Hydrolysis can be considered if the hydrolysis products do not fulfil the criteria for classification as hazardous to the aquatic environment.
4.1.2.9.5. Substances are considered rapidly degradable in the environment if one of the following criteria holds true: 4.1.2.9.1.
Substances that rapidly degrade can be quickly removed from the environment. While effects of such substances can occur, particularly in the event of a spillage or accident, they are localised and of short duration. In the absence of rapid degradation in the environment a substance in the water has the potential to exert toxicity over a wide temporal and spatial scale.
4.1.2.9.2.

Thus, if degradation is demonstrated under environmentally realistic conditions, then the criterion of rapid degradability is met.
4.1.2.9.3.
Many degradation data are available in the form of degradation half-lives and these can be used in defining rapid degradation provided that ultimate biodegradation of the substance, i.e. full mineralisation, is achieved. Primary biodegradation does not normally suffice in the assessment of rapid degradability unless it can be demonstrated that the degradation products do not fulfil the criteria for classification as hazardous to the aquatic environment.
(a) if, in 28-day ready biodegradation studies, at least the following levels of degradation are achieved; 4.1.2.9.4.
The criteria used reflect the fact that environmental degradation may be biotic or abiotic. Hydrolysis can be considered if the hydrolysis products do not fulfil the criteria for classification as hazardous to the aquatic environment.
4.1.2.9.5.
Substances are considered rapidly degradable in the environment if one of the following criteria holds true:
(i) tests based on dissolved organic carbon: 70 % (a) if, in 28-day ready biodegradation studies, at least the following levels of degradation are achieved:
(ii) tests based on oxygen depletion or carbon dioxide generation: 60 % of theoretical maximum.
These levels of biodegradation must be achieved within 10 days of the start of degradation which point is taken as the time when 10 % of the substance has been degraded; or (i) tests based on dissolved organic carbon: 70 %;
(b) if, in those cases where only BOD and COD data are available, when the ratio of BOD5/COD is ≥ 0,5; or (ii) tests based on oxygen depletion or carbon dioxide generation: 60 % of theoretical maximum.
These levels of biodegradation must be achieved within 10 days of the start of degradation which point is taken as the time when 10 % of the substance has been degraded, unless the substance is identified as an UVCB or as a complex, multi-constituent substance with structurally similar constituents. In this case, and where there is sufficient justification, the 10-day window condition may be waived and the pass level applied at 28 days; or
(c) if other convincing scientific evidence is available to demonstrate that the substance can be degraded (biotically and/or abiotically) in the aquatic environment to a level > 70 % within a 28-day period. (b) if, in those cases where only BOD and COD data are available, when the ratio of BOD5/COD is ≥ 0,5; or
(c) if other convincing scientific evidence is available to demonstrate that the substance can be degraded (biotically and/or abiotically) in the aquatic environment to a level > 70 % within a 28-day period.
4.1.2.10. Inorganic compounds and metals
4.1.2.10.1. For inorganic compounds and metals, the concept of degradability as applied to organic compounds has limited or no meaning. Rather, such substances may be transformed by normal environmental processes to either increase or decrease the bioavailability of the toxic species. Equally the use of bioaccumulation data shall be treated with careSpecific guidance will be provided by the Agency on how these data for such substances may be used in meeting the requirements of the classification criteria..
4.1.2.10.2. Poorly soluble inorganic compounds and metals may be acutely or chronically toxic in the aquatic environment depending on the intrinsic toxicity of the bioavailable inorganic species and the rate and amount of this species which enter solution. 4.1.2.10.1.

4.1.2.10.2.
Poorly soluble inorganic compounds and metals may be acutely or chronically toxic in the aquatic environment depending on the intrinsic toxicity of the bioavailable inorganic species and the rate and amount of this species which enter solution. All evidence must be weighed in a classification decision. This would be especially true for metals showing borderline results in the Transformation/Dissolution Protocol.
4.1.3. Classification criteria for mixtures
4.1.3.1. The classification system for mixtures covers all classification categories which are used for substances, i.e. Acute Category 1 and Chronic Categories 1 to 4. In order to make use of all available data for purposes of classifying the aquatic environmental hazards of the mixture, the following is applied where appropriate:
The relevant components of a mixture are those which are classified Acute Category 1 or Chronic Category 1 and present in a concentration of 0,1 % (w/w) or greater, and those which are classified Chronic Category 2, Chronic Category 3 or Chronic Category 4 and present in a concentration of 1 % (w/w) or greater, unless there is a presumption (such as in the case of highly toxic components (see 4.1.3.5.5.5)) that a component present in a lower concentration can still be relevant for classifying the mixture for aquatic environmental hazards. Generally, for substances classified as Acute Category 1 or Chronic Category 1 the concentration to be taken into account is (0,1/M) %. (For explanation M-factor see 4.1.3.5.5.5).
4.1.3.2. The approach for classification of aquatic environmental hazards is tiered, and is dependent upon the type of information available for the mixture itself and for its components. Figure 4.1.2 outlines the process to be followed. 4.1.3.1.

Generally, for substances classified as Acute 1 or Chronic 1 the concentration to be taken into account is (0,1/M) %. (For explanation M-factor see section 4.1.3.5.5.5.)
4.1.3.2.
The approach for classification of aquatic environmental hazards is tiered, and is dependent upon the type of information available for the mixture itself and for its components. Figure 4.1.2 outlines the process to be followed.
Elements of the tiered approach include:
classification based on tested mixtures;
classification based on bridging principles; classification based on tested mixtures,
classification based on bridging principles,
the use of summation of classified components and/or an additivity formula.

CLASSIFY

4.1.3.3. Classification of mixtures when toxicity data are available for the complete mixture
4.1.3.3.1.
When the mixture as a whole has been tested to determine its aquatic toxicity, this information can be used for classifying the mixture according to the criteria that have been agreed for substances. The classification is normally based on the data for fish, crustacea and algae/plants (see sections 4.1.2.7.1 and 4.1.2.7.2). When adequate acute or chronic toxicity data for the mixture as a whole are lacking, bridging principles or summation method should be applied (see sections 4.1.3.4 and 4.1.3.5).
4.1.3.3. Classification of mixtures when data are available for the complete mixture
4.1.3.3.1. When the mixture as a whole has been tested to determine its aquatic toxicity, it is classified according to the criteria that have been agreed for substances, but only for acute hazard. The classification is normally based on the data for fish, crustacea and algae/plants. Classification of mixtures by using LC50 or EC50 data for the mixture as a whole is not possible for chronic categories since both toxicity data and environmental fate data are needed, and there are no degradability and bioaccumulation data for mixtures as a whole. It is not possible to apply the criteria for chronic classification because the data from degradability and bioaccumulation tests of mixtures cannot be interpreted; they are meaningful only for single substances.
4.1.3.3.2. When there is acute toxicity test data (LC50 or EC50) available for the mixture as a whole, these data as well as information with respect to the classification of components for chronic (long-term) hazard shall be used to complete the classification for tested mixtures as follows. When chronic toxicity data (NOEC) is also available, this shall be used too.
(a) L(E)C50 (LC50 or EC50) of the tested mixture ≤ 100 mg/l and NOEC of the tested mixture ≤ 1 mg/l or unknown:
Classify mixture as Acute Category 1 (LC50 or EC50 of the tested mixture ≤ 1 mg/l) or no need for acute classification (LC50 and EC50 of the tested mixture > 1 mg/l).
Apply summation method (see 4.1.3.5.5) for chronic classification (Chronic Category 1, 2, 3, 4 or no need for chronic classification).
(b) L(E)C50 of the tested mixture ≤ 100 mg/l and NOEC(s) of the tested mixture > 1 mg/l:
No need to classify for acute hazard
Apply summation method (see 4.1.3.5.5) for classification as Chronic Category 1. If the mixture is not classified as Chronic Category 1, then there is no need for chronic classification.
(c) L(E)C50(s) of the tested mixture > 100 mg/l, or above the water solubility, and NOEC of the tested mixture ≤ 1 mg/l or unknown:
No need to classify for acute hazard
Apply summation method (see 4.1.3.5.5) for Chronic classification (Chronic Category 4 or no need for chronic classification).
(d) L(E)C50(s) of the tested mixture > 100 mg/l, or above the water solubility, and NOEC(s) of the tested mixture > 1 mg/l:
No need to classify for acute or chronic (long-term) hazard. 4.1.3.3.2.
The long-term hazard classification of mixtures requires additional information on degradability and in certain cases bioaccumulation. Degradability and bioaccumulation tests for mixtures are not used as they are usually difficult to interpret, and such tests may be meaningful only for single substances.
4.1.3.4. Classification of mixtures when data are not available for the complete mixture: Bridging principles
4.1.3.4.1. Where the mixture itself has not been tested to determine its aquatic environmental hazard, but there are sufficient data on the individual components and similar tested mixtures to adequately characterise the hazards of the mixture, this data shall be used in accordance with the bridging rules set out in section 1.1.3. However, in relation to application of the bridging rule for dilution, paragraphs 4.1.3.4.2 and 4.1.3.4.3 shall be used.
4.1.3.4.2. Dilution: if a mixture is formed by diluting another mixture or a substance classified for its aquatic environmental hazard with a diluent which has an equivalent or lower aquatic hazard classification than the least toxic original component and which is not expected to affect the aquatic hazards of other components, then the mixture may be classified as equivalent to the original mixture or substance.
4.1.3.4.3. If a mixture is formed by diluting another classified mixture or substance with water or other totally non-toxic material, the toxicity of the mixture can be calculated from the original mixture or substance 4.1.3.3.3. Classification for category Acute 1
(a) When there are adequate acute toxicity test data (LC50 or EC50) available for the mixture as a whole showing L(E)C50 ≤ 1 mg/l:
Classify mixture as Acute 1 in accordance with point (a) of Table 4.1.0.
(b) When there are acute toxicity test data (LC50(s) or EC50(s)) available for the mixture as a whole showing L(E)C50(s) > 1 mg/l for normally all trophic levels:
No need to classify for acute hazard.
4.1.3.5. Classification of mixtures when data are available for all components or only for some components of the mixture
4.1.3.5.1. The classification of a mixture is based on summation of the classification of its components. The percentage of components classified as Acute or Chronic is fed straight in to the summation method. Details of the summation method are described in 4.1.3.5.5.
4.1.3.5.2. When a mixture consists of components that are not (yet) classified (as Acute Category 1 and/or Chronic Category 1, 2, 3 or 4) adequate data for these components shall be taken into account when available. When adequate toxicity data are available for more than one component in the mixture, the combined toxicity of those components is calculated using the following additivity formula, and the calculated toxicity is used to assign that portion of the mixture an acute category which is then subsequently used in applying the summation method.
ΣCiC(E)L50m = ΣηCiC(E)L50i 4.1.3.3.4. Classification for categories Chronic 1, 2 and 3
(a) When there are adequate chronic toxicity data (ECxx or NOEC) available for the mixture as a whole showing ECx or NOEC of the tested mixture ≤ 1mg/l:
(i) Classify the mixture as Chronic 1, 2 or 3 in accordance with point (b)(ii) of Table 4.1.0 as rapidly degradable if the available information allows the conclusion that all relevant components of the mixture are rapidly degradable;
(ii) Classify the mixture as Chronic 1 or 2 in all other cases in accordance with point (b)(i) of Table 4.1.0 as non-rapidly degradable;
(b) When there are adequate chronic toxicity data (ECx or NOEC) available for the mixture as a whole showing ECx(s) or NOEC(s) of the tested mixture > 1 mg/l for normally all trophic levels:
No need to classify for long-term hazard in categories Chronic 1, 2 or 3.
4.1.3.3.5. Classification for category Chronic 4
If there are nevertheless reasons for concern:
Classify the mixture as Chronic 4 (safety net classification) in accordance with Table 4.1.0.
4.1.3.4. Classification of mixtures when toxicity data are not available for the complete mixture: bridging principles
4.1.3.4.1.
Where the mixture itself has not been tested to determine its aquatic environmental hazard, but there are sufficient data on the individual components and similar tested mixtures to adequately characterise the hazards of the mixture, this data shall be used in accordance with the bridging rules set out in section 1.1.3. However, in relation to application of the bridging rule for dilution, sections 4.1.3.4.2 and 4.1.3.4.3 shall be used.
4.1.3.4.2.
Dilution: if a mixture is formed by diluting another tested mixture or a substance classified for its aquatic environmental hazard with a diluent which has an equivalent or lower aquatic hazard classification than the least toxic original component and which is not expected to affect the aquatic hazards of other components, then the resulting mixture may be classified as equivalent to the original tested mixture or substance. Alternatively, the method explained in section 4.1.3.5 may be applied.
4.1.3.4.3.
If a mixture is formed by diluting another classified mixture or substance with water or other totally non-toxic material, the toxicity of the mixture can be calculated from the original mixture or substance.
4.1.3.5. Classification of mixtures when toxicity data are available for some or all components of the mixture
4.1.3.5.1.
The classification of a mixture is based on summation of the concentration of its classified components. The percentage of components classified as Acute or Chronic is fed straight in to the summation method. Details of the summation method are described in section 4.1.3.5.5.
4.1.3.5.2.
Mixtures can be made of a combination of both components that are classified (as Acute 1 and/or Chronic 1, 2, 3, 4) and others for which adequate toxicity test data is available. When adequate toxicity data are available for more than one component in the mixture, the combined toxicity of those components is calculated using the following additivity formulas (a) or (b), depending on the nature of the toxicity data:
(a) Based on acute aquatic toxicity:
ΣCiLEC50m = ΣnCiLEC50i
where:
Ci
concentration of component i (weight percentage)
L(E)C50 i
(mg/l) LC50 or EC50 for component i concentration of component i (weight percentage);
L(E)C50i
(mg/l) LC50 or EC50 for component i;
η
number of components
L(E)C50 m
L(E) C50 of the part of the mixture with test data
4.1.3.5.3. When applying the additivity formula for part of the mixture, it is preferable to calculate the toxicity of this part of the mixture using for each substance toxicity values that relate to the same taxonomic group (i.e. fish, daphnia, algae or equivalent) and then to use the highest toxicity (lowest value) obtained (i.e. use the most sensitive of the three taxonomic groups). However, when toxicity data for each component are not available in the same taxonomic group, the toxicity value of each component is selected in the same manner that toxicity values are selected for the classification of substances, i.e. the higher toxicity (from the most sensitive test organism) is used. The calculated acute toxicity is then used to assess whether this part of the mixture shall be classified as Acute Category 1 using the same criteria described for substances.
4.1.3.5.4. If a mixture is classified in more than one way, the method yielding the more conservative result shall be used. number of components, and i is running from 1 to n;
L(E)C50m
L(E) C50 of the part of the mixture with test data.
The calculated toxicity may be used to assign that portion of the mixture an acute hazard category which is then subsequently used in applying the summation method;
(b) Based on chronic aquatic toxicity:
Σ Ci +Σ CjEqNOECm = ΣnCiNOECi + ΣnCj0,1 × NOECj
where:
Ci
concentration of component i (weight percentage) covering the rapidly degradable components;
Cj
concentration of component j (weight percentage) covering the non- rapidly degradable components;
NOECi
NOEC (or other recognised measures for chronic toxicity) for component i covering the rapidly degradable components, in mg/l;
NOECj
NOEC (or other recognised measures for chronic toxicity) for component j covering the non-rapidly degradable components, in mg/l;
n
number of components, and i and j are running from 1 to n;
EqNOECm
Equivalent NOEC of the part of the mixture with test data.
The equivalent toxicity thus reflects the fact that non-rapidly degrading substances are classified one hazard category level more severe than rapidly degrading substances.
The calculated equivalent toxicity may be used to assign that portion of the mixture a long-term hazard category, in accordance with the criteria for rapidly degradable substances (point (b)(ii) of Table 4.1.0), which is then subsequently used in applying the summation method.
4.1.3.5.3.
When applying the additivity formula for part of the mixture, it is preferable to calculate the toxicity of this part of the mixture using for each substance toxicity values that relate to the same taxonomic group (i.e. fish, crustacean, algae or equivalent) and then to use the highest toxicity (lowest value) obtained (i.e. use the most sensitive of the three taxonomic groups). However, when toxicity data for each component are not available in the same taxonomic group, the toxicity value of each component is selected in the same manner that toxicity values are selected for the classification of substances, i.e. the higher toxicity (from the most sensitive test organism) is used. The calculated acute and chronic toxicity is then used to assess whether this part of the mixture shall be classified as Acute 1 and/or Chronic 1, 2 or 3 using the same criteria described for substances.
4.1.3.5.4.
If a mixture is classified in more than one way, the method yielding the more conservative result shall be used.
4.1.3.5.5. Summation method
4.1.3.5.5.1. Rationale
4.1.3.5.5.1.1. In case of the substance classification categories Acute Category 1 or Chronic Category 1 to Chronic Category 3, the underlying toxicity criteria differ by a factor of 10 in moving from one category to another. Substances with a classification in a high toxicity band therefore contribute to the classification of a mixture in a lower band. The calculation of these classification categories therefore needs to consider the contribution of all substances classified as Acute Category 1/Chronic Category 1, Chronic Category 2 and Chronic Category 3 together.
4.1.3.5.5.1.2. When a mixture contains components classified as Acute Category 1 or Chronic Category 1, attention must be paid to the fact that such components, when their acute toxicity is below 1 mg/l contribute to the toxicity of the mixture even at a low concentration. Active ingredients in pesticides often possess such high aquatic toxicity but also some other substances like organometallic compounds. Under these circumstances the application of the normal generic concentration limits leads to an under-classification of the mixture. Therefore, multiplying factors shall be applied to account for highly toxic components, as described in paragraph 4.1.3.5.5.5. 4.1.3.5.5.1.1.
In case of the substance classification categories Chronic 1 to Chronic 3, the underlying toxicity criteria differ by a factor of 10 in moving from one category to another. Substances with a classification in a high toxicity band therefore contribute to the classification of a mixture in a lower band. The calculation of these classification categories therefore needs to consider the contribution of any substance classified as Chronic 1, 2 or 3.
4.1.3.5.5.1.2.
When a mixture contains components classified as Acute 1 or Chronic 1, attention must be paid to the fact that such components, when their acute toxicity is below 1 mg/l and/or chronic toxicity is below 0,1 mg/l (if non rapidly degradable) and 0,01 mg/l (if rapidly degradable) contribute to the toxicity of the mixture even at a low concentration. Active ingredients in pesticides often possess such high aquatic toxicity but also some other substances like organometallic compounds. Under these circumstances the application of the normal generic concentration limits leads to an under-classification of the mixture. Therefore, multiplying factors shall be applied to account for highly toxic components, as described in section 4.1.3.5.5.5.
4.1.3.5.5.2. Classification procedure
4.1.3.5.5.2.1. In general a more severe classification for mixtures overrides a less severe classification, e.g. a classification for chronic toxicity with Chronic Category 1 overrides a classification with Chronic Category 2. As a consequence, in this example, the classification procedure is already completed if the result of the classification is Chronic Category 1. A more severe classification than Chronic Category 1 is not possible. Therefore it is not necessary to undergo the further classification procedure. 4.1.3.5.5.2.1.
In general a more severe classification for mixtures overrides a less severe classification, e.g. a classification with Chronic 1 overrides a classification with Chronic 2. As a consequence, in this example, the classification procedure is already completed if the result of the classification is Chronic 1. A more severe classification than Chronic 1 is not possible. Therefore it is not necessary to undergo the further classification procedure.
4.1.3.5.5.3. Classification for Acute Category 1
4.1.3.5.5.3.1. First all components classified as Acute Category 1 are considered. If the sum of these components is greater than 25 % the whole mixture is classified as Acute Category 1.
4.1.3.5.5.3.2. The classification of mixtures for acute hazards based on this summation of classified components, is summarised in Table 4.1.1.
4.1.3.5.5.3. Classification for category Acute 1
4.1.3.5.5.3.1.
First all components classified as Acute 1 are considered. If the sum of the concentrations (in %) of these components multiplied by their corresponding M-factors is greater than 25 % the whole mixture is classified as Acute 1.
4.1.3.5.5.3.2.
The classification of mixtures for acute hazards based on this summation of classified components is summarised in Table 4.1.1.

4.1.3.5.5.4.1. First all components classified as Chronic Category 1 are considered. If the sum of these components multiplied by their corresponding M-factors is equal to or greater than 25 % the mixture is classified as Chronic Category 1. If the result of the calculation is a classification of the mixture as Chronic Category 1 the classification procedure is completed. 4.1.3.5.5.4. Classification for the categories Chronic 1, 2, 3 and 4

First all components classified as Chronic 1 are considered. If the sum of the concentrations (in %) of these components multiplied by their corresponding M-factors is equal to or greater than 25 %, the mixture is classified as Chronic 1. If the result of the calculation is a classification of the mixture as Chronic 1, the classification procedure is completed.
4.1.3.5.5.4.2.
In cases where the mixture is not classified as Chronic 1, classification of the mixture as Chronic 2 is considered. A mixture is classified as Chronic 2 if 10 times the sum of the concentrations (in %) of all components classified as Chronic 1 multiplied by their corresponding M-factors plus the sum of the concentrations (in %) of all components classified as Chronic 2 is equal to or greater than 25 %. If the result of the calculation is classification of the mixture as Chronic 2, the classification process is completed.
4.1.3.5.5.4.3.
In cases where the mixture is not classified either as Chronic 1 or Chronic 2, classification of the mixture as Chronic 3 is considered. A mixture is classified as Chronic 3 if 100 times the sum of the concentrations (in %) of all components classified as Chronic 1 multiplied by their corresponding M-factors plus 10 times the sum of the concentrations (in %) of all components classified with Chronic 2 plus the sum of the concentrations (in %) of all components classified as Chronic 3 is ≥ 25 %.
4.1.3.5.5.4.4.
If the mixture is still not classified in Chronic 1, 2 or 3, classification of the mixture as Chronic 4 shall be considered. A mixture is classified as Chronic 4 if the sum of the concentrations (in %) of components classified as Chronic 1, 2, 3 and 4 is equal to or greater than 25 %.
4.1.3.5.5.4.5.
The classification of mixtures for long-term hazards, based on this summation of the concentrations of classified components, is summarised in Table 4.1.2.
4.1.3.5.5.4.2. In cases where the mixture is not classified as Chronic Category 1, classification of the mixture as Chronic Category 2 is considered. A mixture is classified as Chronic Category 2 if 10 times the sum of all components classified as Chronic Category 1 multiplied by their corresponding M-factors plus the sum of all components classified as Chronic Category 2 is equal to or greater than 25 %. If the result of the calculation is classification of the mixture as Chronic Category 2, the classification process is completed.
4.1.3.5.5.4.3. In cases where the mixture is not classified either as Chronic Category 1 or Chronic Category 2, classification of the mixture as Chronic Category 3 is considered. A mixture is classified as Chronic Category 3 if 100 times the sum of all components classified as Chronic Category 1 multiplied by their corresponding M-factors plus 10 times the sum of all components classified with Chronic Category 2 plus the sum of all components classified as Chronic Category 3 is ≥ 25 %.
4.1.3.5.5.4.4. If the mixture is still not classified in Chronic Category 1, 2 or 3, classification of the mixture as Chronic Category 4 shall be considered. A mixture is classified as Chronic Category 4 if the sum of the percentages of components classified as Chronic Category 1, 2, 3 and 4 is equal to or greater than 25 %.
4.1.3.5.5.4.5. The classification of mixtures for chronic (long term) hazards, based on this summation of classified components, is summarised in Table 4.1.2.

4.1.3.5.5.5. Mixtures with highly toxic components
4.1.3.5.5.5.1. Acute Category 1 and Chronic Category 1 components with toxicities below 1 mg/l contribute to the toxicity of the mixture even at a low concentration and shall normally be given increased weight in applying the summation of classification approach. When a mixture contains components classified as Acute or Chronic Category 1, one of the following shall be applied: 4.1.3.5.5.5.1.
Acute 1 and Chronic 1 components with toxicities below 1 mg/l and/or chronic toxicities below 0,1 mg/l (if non-rapidly degradable) and 0,01 mg/l (if rapidly degradable) contribute to the toxicity of the mixture even at a low concentration and shall normally be given increased weight in applying the summation of classification approach. When a mixture contains components classified as Acute or Chronic 1, one of the following shall be applied:
The tiered approach described in 4.1.3.5.5.3 and 4.1.3.5.5.4 using a weighted sum by multiplying the concentrations of Acute Category 1 and Chronic Category 1 components by a factor, instead of merely adding up the percentages. This means that the concentration of Acute Category 1 in the left column of Table 4.1.1 and the concentration of Chronic Category 1 in the left column of Table 4.1.2 are multiplied by the appropriate multiplying factor. The multiplying factors to be applied to these components are defined using the toxicity value, as summarised in Table 4.1.3. Therefore, in order to classify a mixture containing Acute/Chronic Category 1 components, the classifier needs to be informed of the value of the M-factor in order to apply the summation method;
The additivity formula (see 4.1.3.5.2) provided that toxicity data are available for all highly toxic components in the mixture and there is convincing evidence that all other components, including those for which specific acute toxicity data are not available, are of low or no toxicity and do not significantly contribute to the environmental hazard of the mixture. the tiered approach described in sections 4.1.3.5.5.3 and 4.1.3.5.5.4 using a weighted sum by multiplying the concentrations of Acute 1 and Chronic 1 components by a factor, instead of merely adding up the percentages. This means that the concentration of Acute 1 in the left column of Table 4.1.1 and the concentration of Chronic 1 in the left column of Table 4.1.2 are multiplied by the appropriate multiplying factor. The multiplying factors to be applied to these components are defined using the toxicity value, as summarised in Table 4.1.3. Therefore, in order to classify a mixture containing Acute/Chronic 1 components, the classifier needs to be informed of the value of the M-factor in order to apply the summation method,
the additivity formula (see section 4.1.3.5.2) provided that toxicity data are available for all highly toxic components in the mixture and there is convincing evidence that all other components, including those for which specific acute and/or chronic toxicity data are not available, are of low or no toxicity and do not significantly contribute to the environmental hazard of the mixture.

5. PART 5: ADDITIONAL HAZARDS
5.1. Hazardous to the ozone layer
5.1.1. Definitions and general considerations
5.1.1.1. Substance Hazardous to the Ozone Layer means a substance which, on the basis of the available evidence concerning its properties and its predicted or observed environmental fate and behaviour may present a danger to the structure and/or the functioning of the stratospheric ozone layer. This includes substances which are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layerOJ L 244, 29.9.2000, p. 1. and its subsequent amendments. 5.1.1.1.
Ozone depleting potential (ODP) is an integrative quantity, distinct for each halocarbon source species, that represents the extent of ozone depletion in the stratosphere expected from the halocarbon on a mass-for-mass basis relative to CFC-11. The formal definition of ODP is the ratio of integrated perturbations to total ozone, for a differential mass emission of a particular compound relative to an equal emission of CFC-11.
Substance hazardous to the ozone layer means a substance which, on the basis of the available evidence concerning its properties and its predicted or observed environmental fate and behaviour may present a danger to the structure and/or the functioning of the stratospheric ozone layer. This includes substances which are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on substances that deplete the ozone layerOJ L 286, 31.10.2009, p. 1..
5.1.2. Classification criteria for substances
5.1.2.1. A substance shall be classified as Hazardous to the Ozone Layer if the available evidence concerning its properties and its predicted or observed environmental fate and behaviour indicate that it may present a danger to the structure and/or the functioning of the stratospheric ozone layer. 5.1.2.1.
A substance shall be classified as hazardous to the ozone layer (Category 1) if the available evidence concerning its properties and its predicted or observed environmental fate and behaviour indicate that it may present a danger to the structure and/or the functioning of the stratospheric ozone layer.
5.1.3. Classification criteria for mixtures
5.1.3.1. Mixtures shall be classified as Hazardous to the Ozone Layer on the basis of the individual concentration of the substance(s) contained therein that are also classified as Hazardous to the Ozone Layer, in accordance with Table 5.1. 5.1.3.1.
Mixtures shall be classified as hazardous to the ozone layer (Category 1) on the basis of the individual concentration of the substance(s) contained therein that are also classified as hazardous to the ozone layer (Category 1), in accordance with Table 5.1.

applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
Section 2.8 now sets the concentration threshold for the EUH208 statement by reference to Table 3.4.6 of Annex I instead of the fixed 0,1% figure or a specific note in part 3 of Annex VI, and it adds a new requirement that mixtures already classified as sensitising must name additional sensitising substances present above that threshold on the label.
Section 2.10 expands the listed triggers for the EUH210 statement by adding separate threshold conditions for substances classified as skin or respiratory sensitiser category 1B, category 1A at 0,01%, and substances with a specific concentration limit below 0,1%, alongside the pre-existing carcinogenic category 2 and other conditions.
Section 3.2.2.1 changes the aerosol exemption wording from referring to extremely flammable aerosols or flammable aerosols to referring to flammable aerosols Category 1 or Category 2, and adds that the provision also does not apply to transportable gas receptacles.

MODIFIED +6,489 −4,511 Annex IV LIST OF PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS§
applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
The hazard-category entries for several codes were expanded to add "1A, 1B" alongside the existing category "1" for respiratory sensitisation and skin sensitisation, affecting statements such as P261, P272, P285, P302 through P313, P321, P332 through P342, P352, P363, P501 and related combination codes.
The labelling for the aquatic environment hazard class was changed from "chronic aquatic hazard" to "long-term aquatic hazard" in the entries for P273, P391 and P501, and the eye-damage category description under P280 was changed from "Serious eye damage/eye irritation" to "Severe eye damage".
A new code, P502, was added to the disposal table with the text "Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information on recovery/recycling" applied to the hazardous-to-the-ozone-layer hazard class, category 1.

MODIFIED +1,583 −1,355 Annex VI Harmonised classification and labelling for certain hazardous substances§
applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
In Table 1.1, the codes for respiratory and skin sensitisation were changed from single codes (Resp. Sens. 1 and Skin Sens. 1) to lists including sub-categories 1A and 1B, and the ozone-layer hazard code was changed from a bare 'Ozone' to 'Ozone 1'.
Section 1.1.2.3 rewrote the passage on M-factors, adding provisions for cases where separate M-factors exist for Aquatic Acute 1 and Aquatic Chronic 1 and for cases where a single M-factor covers both classifications, and removing the earlier sentence referring to an M-factor being used when a mixture is classified by the summation method.
Part 3's introductory text no longer states that Table 3.1 and Table 3.2 are listed in separate Volumes IIIa and IIIb, instead simply naming the tables.

1.1.2.3. Specific concentration limits and M-factors
Specific concentration limits, where different from the generic concentration limits given in Annex I for a certain category, are given in a separate column together with the classification concerned using the same codes as under 1.1.2.1.1. Where no specific concentration limits are given in this Annex for a certain category, the generic concentration limits given in Annex I must be applied for the classification of substances containing impurities, additives or individual constituents or for mixtures. An asterisk (*) in this column indicates that the entry has specific concentration limits for acute toxicity under Directive 67/548/EEC (Table 3.2): see also section 1.2.1.
Unless otherwise shown, the concentration limits are a percentage by weight of the substance calculated with reference to the total weight of the mixture.
In case an M-factor has been harmonised for substances classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment in the categories Aquatic Acute 1 or Aquatic Chronic 1, this M-factor is given in the same column as the specific concentration limits. Where an M-factor is not given in Table 3.1, an M-factor based on available data for the substance shall be set by the manufacturer, importer or downstream user. When a mixture including the substance is classified by the manufacturer, importer or downstream user using the summation method, this M-factor shall be used. For the setting of M-factors, see paragraph 4.1.3.5.5.5 of Annex I.
In case an M-factor has been harmonised for substances classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment in the categories Aquatic Acute 1 or Aquatic Chronic 1, this M-factor is given in Table 3.1 in the same column as the specific concentration limits. In case an M-factor for Aquatic Acute 1 and an M-factor for Aquatic Chronic 1 have been harmonised, each M-factor shall be listed in the same line as its corresponding differentiation. Where a single M-factor is given in Table 3.1 and the substance is classified as Aquatic Acute 1 and Aquatic Chronic 1, this M-factor shall be used by the manufacturer, importer or downstream user for the classification of a mixture containing this substance for acute and long-term aquatic hazards using the summation method. Where no M-factor is given in Table 3.1, M-factor(s) based on available data for the substance shall be set by the manufacturer, importer or downstream user. For the setting and use of M-factors, see section 4.1.3.5.5.5 of Annex I.

1.1.4.2. Labelling codes
(i) the letter assigned to the substance in accordance with Annex II to Directive 67/548/EEC (see Article 23(2)(c) Directive 67/548/EEC). This acts as an abbreviation for the symbol and for the indication of danger (if these are assigned);
(ii) the risk phrases, denoted as a series of numbers preceded by the letter R indicating the nature of the special risks, in accordance with Annex III to Directive 67/548/EEC (see Article 23(2)(d) Directive 67/548/EEC). The numbers are separated by either a dash (-) to denote separate statements concerning special risks (R), or an oblique stroke (/) to denote a combined statement, in a single sentence, of the special risks as set out in Annex III to Directive 67/548/EEC;
(iii) the safety phrases denoted as a series of numbers preceded by the letter S indicating the recommended safety precautions, in accordance with Annex IV to Directive 67/548/EEC (see Article 23(2)(e) Directive 67/548/EEC). Again the numbers are separated by either a dash or an oblique stroke; the significance of recommended safety precautions is set out in Annex IV to Directive 67/548/EEC. The safety phrases shown apply only to substances; for mixtures, phrases are selected according to the usual rules.
Note that for certain dangerous substances and mixtures sold to the general public certain S-phrases are mandatory.
S1, S2 and S45 are obligatory for all very toxic, toxic and corrosive substances and mixtures sold to the general public.
S2 and S46 are obligatory for all other dangerous substances and mixtures sold to the general public other than those that have only been classified as dangerous for the environment.
Safety phrases S1 and S2 are shown in brackets in Annex I and can only be omitted from the label when the substance or mixture is sold for industrial use only.
1.1.4.3. Specific Concentration Limits
The concentration limits and associated classifications are necessary to classify dangerous mixtures containing the substance in accordance with Directive 1999/45/EC.
Unless otherwise shown, the concentration limits are a percentage by weight of the substance calculated with reference to the total weight of the mixture.
Where no concentration limits are given, the concentration limits to be used when applying the conventional method of assessing health hazards are those in Annex II, and when applying the conventional method of assessing environmental hazards are those in Annex III to Directive 1999/45/EC.
1.1.4.4. Non-conformity with Table 3.1 for physical hazards
It is recommended to update the physical hazards of some entries in Table 3.2 in a forthcoming adaptation to technical progress.
Until these entries are updated, the physical hazards of the corresponding entries in both tables will not be in conformity. These entries are indicated with reference in Table 3.2.
1.2. Classifications and hazard statements in table 3.1 arising from translation of classifications listed in Annex i to directive 67/548/EEC
1.2.1. Minimum classification
For certain hazard classes, including acute toxicity and STOT repeated exposure, the classification according to the criteria in Directive 67/548/EEC does not correspond directly to the classification in a hazard class and category under this Regulation. In these cases the classification in this Annex shall be considered as a minimum classification. This classification shall be applied if none of the following conditions are fulfilled:
the manufacturer or importer has access to data or other information as specified in Part 1 of Annex I that lead to classification in a more severe category compared to the minimum classification. Classification in the more severe category must then be applied;
the minimum classification can be further refined based on the translation table in Annex VII when the physical state of the substance used in the acute inhalation toxicity test is known to the manufacturer or importer. The classification as obtained from Annex VII shall then substitute the minimum classification indicated in this Annex if it differs from it.
Minimum classification for a category is indicated by the reference * in the column Classification in Table 3.1.
The reference * can also be found in the column Specific concentration Limits and M-factors where it indicates that the entry concerned has specific concentration limits under Directive 67/548/EEC (Table 3.2) for acute toxicity. These concentration limits cannot be translated into concentration limits under this Regulation, especially when a minimum classification is given. However, when the reference * is shown, the classification for acute toxicity for this entry may be of special concern.
1.2.2. Route of exposure cannot be excluded
For certain hazard classes, e.g. STOT, the route of exposure should be indicated in the hazard statement only if it is conclusively proven that no other route of exposure can cause the hazard in accordance to the criteria in Annex I. Under Directive 67/548/EEC the route of exposure is indicated for classifications with R48 when there was data justifying the classification for this route of exposure. The classification under 67/548/EEC indicating the route of exposure has been translated into the corresponding class and category according to this Regulation, but with a general hazard statement not specifying the route of exposure as the necessary information is not available.
These hazard statements are indicated by the reference ** in Table 3.1.
1.2.3. Hazard statements for reproductive toxicity
Hazard statements H360 and H361 indicate a general concern for effects on both fertility and development: May damage/Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child. According to the criteria, the general hazard statement can be replaced by the hazard statement indicating only the property of concern, where either fertility or developmental effects are proven to be not relevant.
In order not to lose information from the harmonised classifications for fertility and developmental effects under Directive 67/548/EEC, the classifications have been translated only for those effects classified under that Directive.
These hazard statements are indicated by the reference *** in Table 3.1.
1.2.4. Correct classification for physical hazards could not be established
For some entries the correct classification for physical hazards could not be established because sufficient data are not available for the application of the classification criteria in this Regulation. The entry might be assigned to a different (also higher) category or even another hazard class than indicated. The correct classification shall be confirmed by testing.
The entries with physical hazards that need to be confirmed by testing are indicated by the reference **** in Table 3.1.
2. PART 2: DOSSIERS FOR HARMONISED CLASSIFICATION AND LABELLING
This Part lays down general principles for preparing dossiers to propose and justify harmonised classification and labelling.
The relevant parts of sections 1, 2 and 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 shall be used for the methodology and format of any dossier.
For all dossiers any relevant information from registration dossiers shall be considered and other available information may be used. For hazard information which has not been previously submitted to the Agency, a robust study summary shall be included in the dossier.
A dossier for harmonised classification and labelling shall contain the following:
Proposal
The proposal shall include the identity of the substance or substances concerned and the harmonised classification and labelling proposed.
Justification for the proposed harmonised classification and labelling
A comparison of the available information with the criteria contained in Parts 2 to 5, taking into account the general principles in Part 1, of Annex I to this Regulation shall be completed and documented in the format set out in Part B of the Chemical Safety Report in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
Justification for other effects at Community level
For other effects than carcinogenity, mutagenicity, reprotoxicity and respiratory sensitisation a justification shall be provided that there is a need for action demonstrated at Community level. This does not apply for an active substance in the meaning of Directive 91/414/EEC or Directive 98/8/EC.
