SCHEDULE 3PROVISIONS FOR CLASSIFYING DANGEROUS PREPARATIONS

PART IICONCENTRATION LIMITS TO BE USED IN THE EVALUATION OF HEALTH HAZARDS

Other than gaseous preparationsI12.1

For substances that produce non-lethal irreversible effects after a single exposure (R39/route of exposure, R68/route of exposure), the individual concentration limits specified in Table II determine, when appropriate, the classification of the preparation.

(*)

In order to indicate the route of administration/exposure the combined R phrases listed in Annex III of the Council Directive 67/548/EEC shall be used.

(†)

R68 here refers to substances classified as harmful. Concentration limits for substances required to be labelled R68 but classified mutagenic are given in Table VI.
