This is the original version (as it was originally made). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format.
6.2 For gases which produce such effects and for which specific concentration limits do not yet appear in Table 3.2 of part 3 of Annex VI of the CLP Regulation, concentration limits laid down in Table VIA, expressed as a volume/volume percentage, shall determine, where appropriate, the classification of the preparation.
The following symbol and risk phrases are assigned:
Carcinogenic categories 1 and 2: | T; R45 or R49 |
Carcinogenic category 3: | Xn; R40 |
Mutagenic categories 1 and 2: | T; R46 |
Mutagenic category 3: | Xn; R68 |
Toxic for reproduction fertility categories 1 and 2: | T; R60 |
Toxic for reproduction development categories 1 and 2: | T; R61 |
Toxic for reproduction fertility category 3: | Xn; R62 |
Toxic for reproduction development category 3: | Xn; R63 |
Classification of the substance (gas) | Classification of the preparation | |
---|---|---|
Categories 1 and 2 | Category 3 | |
Carcinogenic substances ofcategory 1 or 2 with R45 or R49 | concentration ≥ 0.1%carcinogenic R45, R49 obligatory asappropriate | |
Carcinogenic substances ofcategory 3 with R40 | concentration ≥ 1%carcinogenic R40 obligatory (unless already assigned R45(*)) | |
Mutagenic substances ofcategory 1 or 2 with R46 | concentration ≥ 0.1% mutagenic R46 obligatory | |
Mutagenic substances ofcategory 3 with R68(**) | concentration ≥ 1%mutagenic R68(**) obligatory (unless already assigned R46) | |
Substances “toxic forreproduction” of category 1 or 2 with R60 (fertility) | concentration ≥ 0.2%toxic for reproduction (fertility) R60 obligatory | |
Substances “toxic forreproduction” of category 3 with R62 (fertility) | concentration ≥ 1%toxic for reproduction(fertility) R62 obligatory (unless already assigned R60) | |
Substances “toxic forreproduction” of category 1 or 2 with R61 (development) | concentration ≥ 0.2%toxic for reproduction(development) R61 obligatory | |
Substances “toxic forreproduction” of category 3 with R63 (development) | concentration ≥ 1% toxic for reproduction (development) R63 obligatory (unless already assigned R61) |
(*) In cases where the preparation is assigned R49 and R40, both R phrases shall be kept, because R40 does not distinguish between the exposure routes, whereas R49 is only assigned for the inhalation route.
(**) R68 here refers to substances classified as mutagenic. Concentration limits for substances required to be labelled R68 but classified as harmful are given in Table IIA.
