ABSTRACT

This report updates Report No. 98/54 and offers advice in respect of theclassification and labelling of the petroleum substances entered in EuropeanInventory of Existing Chemical Substances (EINECS), according to the principles ofthe Dangerous Substances Directive (DSD). A grouping system has been followedso that substances having similar properties have been considered together.

The guidance given covers the requirements of the DSD up to and including the 28th

Adaptation to Technical Progress (ATP). Since the Annex I classifications forpetroleum substances only cover certain hazards, the guidelines and criteria givenin the 28th ATP to the DSD have also been closely followed to providecomprehensive classification advice for health, environmental and flammabilityhazards.

The report also includes the additional labelling requirements for carcinogenicsubstances which come within the scope of the 14th and 16th Amendments to theRestrictions on Marketing and Use Directive and for lamp oils under the 4th

Adaptation to Technical Progress of the same Directive.

The aim of the publication is to promote greater harmonisation in the classificationand labelling of petroleum substances throughout Europe by offering a solidfoundation that may be adapted to meet national interpretations of the relevantdirectives.

SUMMARY

This report makes recommendations in respect of the classification and labelling ofthe petroleum substances that are included in EINECS. To facilitate the presentationof the information, the substances have been allocated to a number of genericgroups.

The guidance offered in this report is primarily intended for use by health andenvironmental professionals in oil industry companies, who are responsible for theclassification and labelling of petroleum products.

The guidance given covers the requirements of the Dangerous SubstancesDirective (DSD) up to and including the 28th Adaptation to Technical Progress(ATP). In particular, the report embraces (i) the principles of the labelling guideoriginally given in the 18th ATP of the DSD and (ii) the classification and labelling ofpetroleum substances for carcinogenicity and aspiration hazard as originally definedin the 19th, 21st, 22nd and 25th ATPs. The "self-classification" aspect of the labellingguide is covered, meaning that advice is given on classification for all hazards, i.e.flammability, health and environmental, in the light of current knowledge.

In updating the previous report No. 98/54, particular attention has been paid toclassifying petroleum substances for:

• aspiration hazard according to the revised criteria of the 25th ATP

• irritation hazard for substances causing irritation after repeated contact

• effects related to vapours from volatile substances

• environmental hazard according to the most recent interpretation of the test data.

Supplementary labelling requirements for Categories 1 and 2 carcinogens, asrequired under the 14th and 16th Amendments to the Restrictions on Marketing andUse Directive and for lamp oils under the 4th ATP to the same Directive, are alsoincluded in this report.

The report provides information to support the classification of the various types ofpetroleum substances, offers general information on labelling and gives examples oflabels that meet EU regulatory requirements.

The recommendations given on classification and labelling are of fundamentalimportance in determining the content of safety data sheets and are key elements inthe classification and labelling of preparations containing these components.

1. INTRODUCTION

In 1985 CONCAWE provided guidance in Report No. 1/85 [1] on the classificationand labelling of petroleum products supplied in the European Community. Theguidance was provided at a time when no formal evaluation of petroleumsubstances had been undertaken by the European Commission (EC). In 1992, aformal working party of the EC Technical Progress Committee (TPC) started toreview the carcinogenicity of petroleum substances in terms of the criteriaestablished under the Dangerous Substances Directive (DSD) [2].

Since 1985 the legislation has continued to evolve and a number of importantchanges and additions have been introduced, including publication of the following:

a) The European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances(EINECS) [3].

b) The Dangerous Preparations Directive (DPD) addressing the classificationand labelling of mixtures of substances [4,5].

c) The 7th Amendment to the DSD [6], introducing the concept of classificationand labelling of substances which are "Dangerous for the Environment"; thereis a CONCAWE report [7] on this Directive.

d) The 18th Adaptation to Technical Progress (ATP) of the DSD [8] whichamends Annex VI and introduced rules for the classification of substanceswhich contain carcinogenic constituents.

e) The 21st ATP of the DSD [9] which addresses the carcinogenicity of many ofthe petroleum substances listed in EINECS. The provisions of this Directivehad to be implemented in Member States not later than 1 September 1996.

f) The 25th ATP of the DSD [10] includes provisions for the introduction of R66(repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking) for moderatelyirritant substances and the introduction of R67 (Vapours may causedrowsiness or dizziness) for volatile substances. Several new safety phrasesS25, S27, S28 and S37 are included. The provisions of this Directive had tobe implemented in Member States not later than 1 July 2000.

g) The 28th ATP of the DSD [11] includes revision of the text for R40 and R68and a consolidated version of Annex VI, commonly known as theclassification and labelling guide.

In 1995, CONCAWE published Report No. 95/59 [12] which provided advice on theclassification and labelling of petroleum substances covering DSD legislation up toand including the 21st ATP. However, since that time, the adoption of the 22nd ATPof the DSD [13] which introduced a new risk phrase for aspiration and the availabilityof new data, particularly relating to the environmental hazard from petroleumsubstances necessitated the update of the 1995 report which was then re-issued asCONCAWE Report No. 98/54 [14].

Subsequent changes to the legislation and in particular the introduction of two newrisk phrases in the 25th ATP of the DSD have triggered the need for revision of theadvice to CONCAWE Member Companies on the classification and labelling ofpetroleum substances. In addition, the opportunity has been taken to include the

report no. 01/53

outcome of a review of data which was under way at the time of the 1998CONCAWE Report No 98/54.

The purpose of this report is to provide guidance on the classification and labellingof petroleum substances listed in EINECS which are produced and marketed asfinished products, or are used as components in the formulation of fuels, bitumens,lubricants, wax coatings and many other products. The advice is based on currentlyavailable scientific evidence and takes account of up to and including the 28th

Adaptation to Technical Progress of the DSD [15]. Furthermore, it satisfies therequirement for "self-classification" as outlined in the 18th Adaptation to TechnicalProgress of the Dangerous Substances Directive.

This report also deals with the special labelling requirements for petroleumsubstances under the Restrictions on Marketing and Use Directive. In particular, itdeals with the requirements for Categories 1 and 2 carcinogens, mutagens andreprotoxic agents under the 14th and 16th Amendments of the Marketing and UseDirective [16,17] and with the requirements for lamp oils under the 4th ATP to AnnexI for this Directive [18].

Where hazardous additives or constituents are identified in petroleum substances,their concentrations and their dangerous properties need to be taken into account indetermining the "self-classification" of these materials. For example, the presence ofn-hexane in some low boiling point naphthas may need to be reflected in theclassifications afforded to these substances. Because of the variable composition ofpetroleum substances it has not been possible to provide detailed specific advice onthis topic in this report. However, general advice is provided in Section 5.

The classification and labelling advice given for petroleum substances in this reportis of fundamental importance in determining the classification and labelling ofpreparations containing these substances. It is also of primary importance in thepreparation of EC style safety data sheets [19,20,21], both for the petroleumsubstances themselves and for preparations containing them.

2. GROUPING OF PETROLEUM SUBSTANCES

For the purposes of their carcinogenicity classification by the TPC working party,petroleum substances were allocated to a number of distinct groups according totheir refinery processing history. The pragmatic stance taken for classification andlabelling is that substances included in each group possess similar properties. Tofacilitate labelling, the European Commission has introduced generic "short names"for each of the groups. These short names are an integral part of the nomenclaturefor each petroleum substance in the Annex I entries of the 21st ATP. Table 1 liststhe groups used in this report and the short names that apply to each group.

In this report, a number of groups of substances have been combined for thepurpose of providing classification and labelling advice.

This report addresses the classification and labelling of groups of substances whichare the primary products of petroleum refining. However, some of these groupscontain entries for petroleum substances which are identified both as hydrocarbonsolvents and refinery streams. Hydrocarbon solvents are derived from refinerystreams by further refining e.g. redistillation, and are characterised as “narrow cut”products meaning that both their boiling range and the carbon number range of theirhydrocarbons are more restricted than for the corresponding refinery streams. As aresult, the compositions of hydrocarbon solvents differ significantly from refinerystreams having the same EINECS numbers and hence, their toxicological andecotoxicological properties may also be different. Some of the differences in respectof environmental hazard are pointed out in Section 5, but the classification andlabelling of hydrocarbon solvents are not considered further in this report.

3. PRINCIPLES INVOLVED

The Dangerous Substances Directive (DSD) provides a systematic approach to theclassification of substances based on knowledge of their intrinsic hazardousproperties and in accordance with defined hazard criteria. Brief definitions for someof the common terms used in classification and labelling are given in Appendix 6.

3.1. CLASSIFICATION OF SUBSTANCES

The criteria in use to determine whether a substance is dangerous and needs to beclassified are defined in Annex VI to the DSD, as revised in the 28th ATP. ThisDirective provides the basis for classification according to physico-chemical,toxicological and ecotoxicological properties and effects on human health. It alsoprovides the criteria for selecting the danger symbol(s) to be shown on the labeltogether with the indication(s) of danger and appropriate Risk (R) and Safety (S)phrases. The text of Annex VI to the DSD as included in the 28th ATP is reproducedin Appendix 1. The latter is a guide to the classification and labelling of dangeroussubstances and preparations.

Substances which have been reviewed by the EC’s Technical Progress Committee(TPC) and classified as dangerous, are listed in Annex I to the DSD which isperiodically updated and published in the Official Journal. Annex I represents themandatory classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances. Insome cases, it also includes the concentration limits that apply for classificationpurposes, when these substances are used in preparations. A consolidated version[22] of Annex I together with a supplement [23] were published in 1993. Substancesmay also be reviewed by the TPC, but are not assigned a classification. Thesesubstances are therefore not recorded in Annex I.

For those substances which have not been reviewed by the TPC, the onus is on thesupplier to "self-classify" these, according to criteria laid down in the 28th ATP of theDSD. Where test data are used as the basis for classification, these should bebased on the methods specified in Annex V to the DSD [11,13,24,25]. Prior to the21st and 22nd ATPs, only six petroleum substances, all untreated distillate aromaticextracts, were included in the Annex I list of dangerous substances. The 21st and22nd ATPs now include many more, but only address the carcinogenic and, in somecases, the aspiration hazards of these substances.

Some groups of petroleum substances, notably kerosines, straight-run gas oils,vacuum gas oils and bitumen have still to be reviewed for carcinogenicity by theTPC working party of the European Commission. Furthermore, other hazardendpoints for the straight-run gas oils and vacuum gas oils have also yet to bereviewed by the TPC working party. Accordingly, there is no entry in Annex I forthese latter two groups.

In this report, recommendations for “self-classification” are included addressingflammability, toxicological or environmental hazards of petroleum substances thatare not included in their respective Annex I entries. Additionally, recommendationsfor the "self-classification" of petroleum substance groups not included in Annex I ofthe DSD are given.

3.2. LABELLING

3.2.1. Purpose of the label

Annex VI to the DSD identifies a warning label as the primary means by which thegeneral public and industrial users are given essential information about dangeroussubstances (see Appendix 1). The label points out the inherent hazards of thesubstance together with the essential precautions to be taken and may drawattention to information on safety and use that is available in other forms, e.g. safetydata sheets. It is to be noted that petroleum products are often supplied in bulk and,for these, safety data sheets constitute the principal means of communicating thehazards and providing safety advice.

3.2.2. Content of label

Labels will normally include substance names, hazard symbols, indications ofdanger, risk phrases, safety phrases and identification of the supplier (name,address and telephone number).

The categories of danger, the letters representing the hazard symbols and, whereappropriate, the indications of danger are shown in Table 2. This includes the"Dangerous for the Environment" symbol, denoted by the letter N, introduced in the7th Amendment of the DSD [5].

• The hazard symbols must be in black on an orange/yellow background.

• Labels do not normally bear more than three symbols, one each forflammability, health hazard and environmental hazard. For health hazard,there is an order of precedence for symbols and for petroleum substances therelevant order is T > Xn > Xi.

• Indications of danger are required, in addition to hazard symbols, except forthose substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic toreproduction. Where a substance exhibits a mixed hazard e.g. Carcinogeniccategory 3 and Harmful with R65, no indication of danger appears below thesymbol, since the carcinogenic hazard is regarded as having precedence.Substances classified as Flammable do not carry a hazard symbol, nor anindication of danger. Substances classified as dangerous for the environmentbut not carrying an N symbol, do not require an indication of danger.

• Risk and safety phrases which identify the hazards and precautions to betaken are to be assigned according to Annex VI to the DSD [11].

• For a dangerous substance there are no restrictions on the number of riskphrases that may appear on a label.

• The risk phrases "Extremely Flammable" and "Highly Flammable" need notbe used on the label if this duplicates the warning given by the "indication ofdanger" used with the symbol.

• Dangerous products sold to the general public must include the safety phrase"Keep out of the reach of children" (S2) and may need to include “Keeplocked up” (S1). Where the only classification of a product sold to the generalpublic is Dangerous for the Environment, the use of S2 is unnecessary.

• Labels should be firmly attached to one or more surfaces of the packaging, sothat they can be read horizontally when the package is set down normally.Alternatively, labels may be printed directly on to packaging.

3.2.3. Format/size of the label

The minimum dimensions of the label relate to the size of the package and are asfollows:

Capacity of the packageDimensions(in millimetres)

• not exceeding 3 litres at least 52 x 74

• greater than 3 litres butnot exceeding 50 litres at least 74 x 105

• greater than 50 litres butnot exceeding 500 litres at least 105 x 148

• greater than 500 litres at least 148 x 210

NOTE The 7th amendment of the DSD permits Member States to make derogationsfrom this label size provision, where it is impracticable to meet the requirements

• Each symbol should cover at least 10% of the surface area of the label andbe at least 1 cm2.

3.2.4. Presentation of Hazard Labelling information

A study on the comprehensibility of labels of dangerous preparations wasundertaken at the request of the European Commission by Directorate General(DG) III (now known as DG ENTR) [26]. Key findings and recommendations,supported in principle by CONCAWE, are summarised below:

Findings

• Hazard information not clearly separated from other types of information.

• Print is too small.

• Colour contrast is not sufficiently strong.

Recommendations

• Separation of hazard information from other information e.g. commercialmessages, on labels. This would increase the attention given to hazardinformation and reduce the problems of information overload.

• R and S- phrases should be listed or itemised. This would increase the attentionpaid to each sentence and the ease with which they can be remembered.

• Font size should be at least 10 points, although exceptions must be accepted forpackaging of very small products.

• Requirements for text that enhances readability, namely adequate colourcontrast and avoidance of negative text (e.g. white text on black background).

Although this DG ENTR report focuses on preparations, the recommendationsabove would also apply to substances.

3.2.5. Particular requirements for labelling petroleum substances

• Butane, propane and liquefied petroleum gas were exempt from thepackaging and labelling provisions of the DSD until 31 October 1997 underthe 22nd ATP of the DSD. Now under this Directive, these substances haveonly to be labelled for flammability. However, where applicable they arerequired to be classified for carcinogenicity as well as flammability and theirhazard status must be indicated in their safety data sheets.

• All low viscosity petroleum substances have to be labelled because theypresent an aspiration hazard (see Section 4.3). In particular, lamp oils whichare based on kerosines must be labelled to indicate this hazard.

• A "short name" nomenclature can be used on labels for containers ofpetroleum substances (see Section 4.12.1).

• This report gives guidance on the labelling of substances for both industrialand consumer use, but the supplier needs to take account of instances wheremodifications may be necessary. An example is where a particular substanceis used in a spray application involving the generation of high concentrations

report no. 01/53

9

of vapour or aerosol. In this case the use of safety phrase S23 (Do notbreathe vapour/spray) and either S38 (In case of insufficient ventilation wearsuitable respiratory equipment), or S51 (Use only in well-ventilated areas) arenecessary, depending on the circumstances of use. CONCAWE alsorecommends that more detailed precautionary advice covering such specificapplications should be given in the relevant substance safety data sheet.

3.2.6. Use of transport labelling

Article 24 of the 7th Amendment of the DSD permits the use of an internationaltransport label for a dangerous substance providing that it also incorporates most ofthe label required under the DSD. The derogation states that a package meetslegal requirements if it bears the transport label together with all the elements of theDSD label excluding the hazard symbol and the indication of danger.

Also, where a dangerous substance is consigned in a package containing one ormore inner containers, the inner containers must bear the DSD label and the outercontainer must carry the international transport label.

3.3. PACKAGING

If a substance is classified as dangerous, its packaging must comply with theprovisions of the DSD which identifies general packaging requirements; specificdetails apply to packages sold to the general public.

In essence, packages containing dangerous substances need to be constructed sothat they are strong, not susceptible to degradation by their contents or theenvironment and are able to prevent leakage under conditions of normal handlingand use.

For supply to the general public, the following requirements also apply:

• Containers of substances and preparations labelled as Very Toxic, Toxic orCorrosive must have child-resistant fastenings and tactile warnings of danger.Substances labelled as Harmful because of their aspiration hazard shouldonly be supplied to the general public in containers having child-resistantfastenings.

• Containers of substances and preparations labelled as Harmful, ExtremelyFlammable or Highly Flammable must bear tactile warnings of danger.

• The technical specifications relating to child-resistant fastenings and tactilewarnings of danger are given in Annex IX of the DSD as adapted by the 26th

ATP [27]. The EN Standard 11063 [28] provides the technical specificationsfor tactile warning devices and considers the connections or fittings of gascontainers to be a tactile warning of danger.

• It may also be appropriate to adopt the above requirements for containers ofsubstances in these categories which, although not supplied directly, mayreach the general public.

• For restrictions on supply to the general public, please refer to section 4.8.3.

report no. 01/53

10

Note that packages containing dangerous substances may also need to meet therequirements of the relevant national or international regulations according to themode of transport being used.

3.4. PREPARATIONS

Classification in respect of physico-chemical properties shall be on the basis of testdata, unless none of the components are hazardous in this respect.

Classification for health effects is normally based on the "conventional" methodapplying concentration limits for each hazardous constituent. Alternatively, theresults of toxicological testing may be used to classify for hazards other thancarcinogenicity, mutagenicity and toxicity to reproduction. For these specific effects,administrative concentration limits apply e.g. if a preparation contains more than0.1% w/w of a Category 1 or 2 carcinogen, it is itself classified as a Category 2carcinogen. Where there is adequate scientific evidence, the TPC has the ability tovary the administrative limit of 0.1% w/w. If there is adequate evidence from humanexperience that the health effects on man are different from those predicted by theconventional method or animal studies, the classification must be based on toxicityto man. CONCAWE has previously provided guidance on the classification ofpreparations [29]. The basic principles are the same as those discussed above forsubstances i.e. using hazard criteria specified in Annex VI of the DSD.

The latest publication of the DPD [5], which is to be implemented by July 2002, nowincludes a requirement to classify preparations for environmental hazard. ACONCAWE report of the implications of the new DPD for petroleum products hasbeen recently published [30].

3.5. CONDUCTIVITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF STATIC CHARGES

Although not dealt with in the DSD, the possibility of the build-up of static electriccharges during the bulk handling of lighter petroleum streams, with the resultingpotential for flash fires, has long been recognised. Procedures for the dissipation ofelectrostatic charges are accordingly well established. Changes to the specificationsof certain middle distillate fuel products, especially automotive diesel fuels, have hadthe effect of reducing their electrical conductivity. As a consequence, the potentialfor the development of electrostatic charges is now associated with a wider range offuel streams than had been previously recognised.

4. CLASSIFICATION AND LABELLING GUIDE

4.1. SUBSTANCE IDENTIFICATION

The compilation of entries for EINECS and the subsequent publication of theExisting Substances Regulation [31] has meant that producers have been requiredto assign EINECS numbers to their petroleum substances. The appropriate numbershould appear on the label of a dangerous substance. It is particularly important thatsuch assignments for dangerous petroleum substances are correct, otherwiseincorrect classifications may result. However, it should also be noted that where arefinery stream and a hydrocarbon solvent share the same EINECS number, theircompositions and hence their classifications may differ.

4.2. EXPLOSIVITY, CORROSIVITY AND OXIDISING PROPERTIES OFPETROLEUM SUBSTANCES

The full list of categories of danger required to be considered in self-classification isdetailed in Table 2 (Section 3.2.2). Within Section 5 of this report, classificationrecommendations for all of the relevant categories are detailed. No petroleumsubstances meet the criteria for classification for their explosive, corrosive, oroxidising hazards.

4.3. ASPIRATION HAZARD

Low viscosity petroleum substances present an aspiration hazard due to theirpotential to cause chemical pneumonitis if they enter the lungs in liquid form.Hydrocarbons having a kinematic viscosity of less than 7 mm2/s at 40°C have beenidentified as posing a significant aspiration hazard based on the work of Gerarde[32].

In the 21st ATP of the DSD, all gasoline naphtha and kerosine streams wereclassified as Harmful, with the Xn symbol and risk phrase R22 (Harmful ifswallowed) because of this hazard.

Subsequently, the 22nd ATP of the DSD introduced an additional risk phrase foraspiration hazard together with criteria, which has been modified in the 25th ATP, todetermine whether substances and preparations should be so classified. Theessential criteria for both petroleum substances and preparations are as follows:

• they must contain more than 10% hydrocarbons, and

• the viscosity must be below 7 mm2/s (i.e. 7 centistokes) at 40°C;

• optionally, the surface tension must not be greater than 33 mN/m at 25°C.

This report includes recommendations for classification as an aspiration hazardbased solely on the measurement of viscosity.

Where human experience shows that a substance or preparation presents anaspiration hazard, it must be classified and labelled accordingly, regardless ofwhether the criteria are met. Furthermore, where companies are aware that anaspiration hazard is posed by a petroleum substance that has physical propertieswhich do not meet the aspiration hazard criteria they are advised on the product

label for product liability reasons, to identify the hazard in the relevant safety datasheet and to use safety phrase S62 ('If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: seekmedical advice immediately and show this container or label').

4.4. CARCINOGENICITY

In this report, recommendations concerning carcinogenicity classification are basedon the current scientific evidence, using the criteria of the 28th ATP of the DSD aswell as the definitive classifications reached in the 21st ATP.

4.5. SKIN DRYNESS OR CRACKING

The 25th ATP of the DSD introduced the risk phrase R66 (Repeated exposure maycause skin dryness or cracking) for substances and preparations that do not meetthe criteria for R38 (see Appendix 2) but which may cause concern as a result ofskin dryness, flaking or cracking. Decisions for applying this phrase are derivedeither from practical observation after normal handling and use or from otherrelevant information used to predict effects on the skin.

Note that assignment of the risk phrase R66 does not, in itself, have any impact onthe formal classification of the substance.

4.6. DROWSINESS AND DIZZINESS

The 25th ATP of the DSD also introduced the risk phrase R67 (Vapours may causedrowsiness and dizziness). This applies to volatile substances and preparationscontaining substances that cause clear symptoms of central nervous systemdepression by inhalation and which are not already classified with respect to acuteinhalation toxicity (R20, R23, R26, R68/20, R39/23 or R39/26).

The following evidence should be considered:

(a) data from animal studies showing clear signs of CNS depression such asnarcotic effects, lethargy, lack of co-ordination (including loss of righting reflex) andataxia either:

• at concentration/exposure times not exceeding 20 mg/l/4 h or,

• for which the ratio of the effect concentration at ≤ 4 h to the saturated vapourconcentration at 20°C is ≤1/10.

(b) Practical experience in humans (e.g. narcosis, drowsiness, reducedalertness, loss of reflexes, lack of co-ordination, vertigo) from well documentedreports under comparable exposure conditions to the effects specified above foranimals.

Note that assignment of the risk phrase R67 does not, in itself, have any impact onthe formal classification of the substance.

4.7. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD CLASSIFICATION

The 28th ATP of the DSD includes criteria for the classification and labelling ofsubstances for the aquatic compartment of the environment; these requireconsideration of three basic properties - fate, ecotoxicity and bioaccumulation.

During 1995/1996, the environmental classification of petroleum substance groupswas discussed in detail at the European Commission Working Group onClassification for Environmental Effects. This group gave detailed consideration tothe available data for petroleum substances, but could not reach consensus on theenvironmental classification [33]. Nevertheless, the group requested CONCAWE topublish updated recommendations for petroleum substance groups to facilitate self-classification of these substances in a formal and coherent way. Both test data andtoxicity estimates based on composition-toxicity relationships were to be considered.All of these data have been summarised in a report [34], which provides the detailedbackground to the environmental classification recommendations included herein.

General principles underlying the self-classification recommendations forenvironmental hazards are included in the following subsections.

4.7.1. Fate

Petroleum substances may not meet the criteria as provided in the 28th ATP of theDSD for ready degradability in the aquatic environment, even though many areinherently degradable. For some petroleum substances, their rapid evaporationprecludes them from persisting in water.

4.7.2. Aquatic toxicity

Modification to the basic methods described in Annex V to the DSD are required toevaluate effectively, the aquatic toxicity of poorly water-soluble complex mixturessuch as petroleum substances. This topic has been reviewed [34,35] and resultsfrom testing of water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) have been givenprecedence, in accordance with the recommendation of the European CommissionWorking Group on Classification for Environmental Effects. Data on three types ofaquatic organisms (fish, Daphnia and algae) have been considered andclassification based on the lowest measured value of the toxicity parameters forthese species.

4.7.3. Bioaccumulation

Ranges of octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow) values have been assigned toeach group of petroleum substances, since they are all complex mixtures ofhydrocarbons (each component of the substance will have its own log Kow value).Values for log Kow have been measured or calculated for most individualhydrocarbons, but few measured bioconcentration factor (BCF) data are available.Since most constituent hydrocarbons have log Kow values above 3, they should beregarded as potentially bioaccumulative, according to the criteria of the 28th ATP.However, some higher molecular weight hydrocarbons have values of log Kow inexcess of 6; the water solubility of such components is so low that the likelihood oftheir bioaccumulation is considered to be remote. For other hydrocarbons,bioaccumulation will also be limited by metabolism.

report no. 01/53

4.7.4. Other environmental hazards

Petroleum substances are not ozone depleting. At the present time, there are noagreed criteria for the classification of hazards to other environmentalcompartments.

4.8. SAFETY PHRASES

4.8.1. Annex I requirements

For those petroleum substances included in Annex I to the DSD, safety phrases aredefined in as far as they relate to carcinogenicity and aspiration hazard. In the caseof carcinogenic substances of Categories 1 and 2, mandatory safety phrases arelimited to S53 and S45. The key safety phrase is S53 which in practice, refers theuser to the relevant safety data sheet for further information. For these substances,the safety data sheets must clearly state the precautions to be taken in normalhandling and use. The use of S53 and S45 on the labels of Categories 1 and 2carcinogens represents a minimum standard, and other appropriate safety phrasesmay be included on such labels to cover other hazards.

4.8.2. Advice on fire fighting

The 28th ATP of the DSD provides for the inclusion of advice on fire fighting on thelabel. The safety phrase S43 (In case of fire use ..... completed by inclusion of theappropriate type of fire-fighting equipment) is generally recommended for ExtremelyFlammable, Highly Flammable and Flammable substances. Where appropriate,requirement for the S43 phrase has been included in the section on Labellinginformation in this report, but no advice on specific fire-fighting equipment isincluded. It is expected that individual Member Companies will insert this informationas appropriate. (Recommendations on fire-fighting advice are included in theCONCAWE product dossiers.)

4.8.3. Supply to the general public

Under the 14th and 16th Amendments to the Restrictions on Marketing and UseDirective, the supply of carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic substances ofCategories 1 and 2 to the general public is currently prohibited, either alone, or asconstituents of preparations. However, there are derogations for petroleum fuelsunder the 14th Amendment to the Marketing and Use Directive and even if classifiedin these categories, they may be supplied to the general public. In particular, underthis Directive, containers of dangerous substances which are classified asCategories 1 or 2 carcinogens, mutagens or agents toxic to reproduction must belabelled with the phrase "Restricted to professional users. Attention - Avoidexposure - obtain special instructions before use". In practice, since the phrase"Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use" must appear as safetyphrase S53 on the labels of Categories 1 and 2 carcinogens, mutagens andreprotoxic agents, its repetition to meet the 14th Amendment to the Marketing andUse Directive is needless. Accordingly, CONCAWE advises that only the phrase"Restricted to professional users" should appear on the labels of relevant Categories1 and 2 carcinogenic petroleum substances where marketed for use other than asfuels, since S53 will automatically apply due to the carcinogenicity of thesesubstances.

report no. 01/53

15

Under the 4th ATP to the Restrictions on Marketing and Use Directive, there arelabelling requirements for products sold as lamp oils i.e. as fuels for decorativelamps. The products concerned are kerosines and they are sold to the generalpublic either as substances or preparations. The phrase that must be used oncontainers holding 15 litres or less of these products is “Keep lamps filled with thisliquid out of the reach of children”. The main objective of such labelling is to reducethe incidence of children swallowing lamp oils, since the available data shows thatthis occurs to a significant extent in the EU.

Where dangerous substances are supplied to the general public, additional safetyphrases are likely to be needed compared with supply to industrial users. Somesuppliers may decide that different labels are appropriate, depending on whether asubstance is intended for domestic or industrial use, but a composite label thatmeets both situations is likely to be the preferred option.

4.8.4. Self-classification

For those substances not in Annex I, but which suppliers "self-classify" asdangerous, the choice of safety phrases is determined by (i) the labelling guide inthe 28th ATP (see Appendix 1 to the DSD and (ii) where applicable, the criteriagiven in Note P of the 28th ATP (see Section 4.10).

4.9. NUMBER OF PHRASES

• The 28th ATP advises that for substances appearing in Annex I, the R-phrasesshall be those shown in the Annex. Furthermore, for substances not appearingin Annex I, R-phrases should be selected to cover the dangers arising from thehealth effects,

• the physico-chemical properties (except for flammable/highly flammable, whenthere is already an indication of danger associated with the symbol) and,

• environmental hazards leading to a classification as “dangerous for theenvironment”.

There is no limit on the number of R-phrases which may appear on the label for adangerous substance. CONCAWE’s recommendation is that all applicable riskphrases should appear on a label for a dangerous petroleum substance.

The 28th ATP of the DSD also advises that the number of safety phrases should, asfar as possible, be limited to four. The CONCAWE recommendation is that sufficientsafety advice should be given as to cover the envisaged uses for any substance;this may involve more than four safety phrases.

4.10. NOTES

Until the 21st ATP of the DSD, the Foreword to Annex I included a series of Notaswhich provided additional information relating to the identification/labelling ofsubstances (Notas A to G) or the labelling of preparations (Notas 1-3). The 21st ATPintroduced a further series of Notas (H to P and 4), which largely deal withclassification/labelling issues specific to complex petroleum substances andpreparations containing them. Subsequently, Nota 4 was modified by the 22nd ATPof the DSD and Nota 5 was introduced by this same Directive. Appendix 7 details

report no. 01/53

16

all the current Notas applicable to petroleum substances. The Notas are self-explanatory but the following important points should be noted in relation to theclassification of petroleum substances.

• Nota H applies to the majority of the petroleum substances which appear inAnnex I. The harmonised classifications given, only relate to carcinogenicityand in some cases aspiration hazard. Thus, all other hazardous propertiesare subject to the principles of "self-classification", based on available data.

• Notas J, K, L and P deal with the use of "markers" for carcinogenicityclassification, whilst Nota N refers to a need for information on the refininghistory of specific petroleum substances. It is important to note that, in theabsence of information on refining history or levels of a marker, thesubstances to which these Notas apply are classified as carcinogenic (R45)by default.

A further point of particular interest to the petroleum industry is that the Notas K, L,N and P are not applicable to preparations containing petroleum substances toestablish their carcinogenicity classification. It follows that only the conventionalmethod may be used to classify preparations containing petroleum substances forcarcinogenicity.

4.11. LANGUAGE

The 28th ATP of the DSD does not specify the language to be used on containerlabels, but Member States have the right to enact the Directive prescribing thelanguage to be used. Many oil companies produce multi-language labels to enableproducts to be marketed in a number of EU countries without the need to relabel. Indeveloping multi-language labels, the aim should be to obtain a layout such that thelabel is legible (see Section 3.2.4).

4.12. NOMENCLATURE

4.12.1. Substance names

The DSD requires that for substances listed in Annex I, the name of the substanceused on the label shall be one of the designations used in Annex I. For petroleumsubstances, two naming options are given:

(i) the name as stated in EINECS, or

(ii) the short name for the petroleum substance group (see Section 2, Table 1).

For example, either of the two following designations may be used for a substanceconforming to EINECS No. 265-060-4:

(i) distillates (petroleum), light catalytic cracked, or

(ii) cracked gas oil.

Note that the definitions associated with the EINECS entries of petroleumsubstances are not required on the label.

report no. 01/53

17

4.12.2. EC Number/EC Label

The 18th ATP of the DSD specified that the label for a dangerous substance mustbear the "EEC number" of the substance together with the term "EEC label" if thesubstance appeared in the Annex I list of dangerous substances under the DSD.For existing substances, the EEC number is the EINECS number. This requirementwas changed by Directive 95/56/EC, an amendment to the DSD [36] which specifiedthat the relevant terms should be "EC number" and "EC label".

The 23rd ATP of the DSD [37] reiterates the need for these changes, but states thatthe terms “EEC number” and “EEC label” were permitted on labels until 31December 2000.

These requirements are reflected in the example labels which appear in this report,but two particular points should be noted as follows:

• Each example includes the abbreviation EC No. followed by the appropriateEINECS Number, whereas strictly, only the latter is necessary; however, it is feltthat better clarity is achieved by the use of the abbreviation.

• The term EC Label is used on a label whenever a petroleum substance appearsin Annex I to the DSD. However, the Annex I petroleum substance entriesaddress only two hazards i.e., carcinogenicity and aspiration. Hence, wheneverthese classifications do not apply, the logic of using the term is lost and therequirement to use the EC label is not applicable.

5. CLASSIFICATION AND LABELLING OF PETROLEUM SUBSTANCES

5.1. BACKGROUND FOR CLASSIFICATION GUIDANCE

Specific information relating to the classification and labelling of petroleumsubstances covered by the generic groups listed in Table 1 follows. The informationused to arrive at these classifications is derived from published information aspresented in the following documents:

(a) the 28th ATP of the DSD (b) the appropriate CONCAWE product dossier, and (c) the appropriate generic group HEDSET data set as compiled by CONCAWE

in response to the Existing Substances Regulation.

For each generic group of petroleum substances, the following information is given:

- definition describing the substances embraced by the group, - summary data supporting the classification and the basis for the classification

for all hazardous properties (the basis is either by inclusion in Annex I or byself-classification),

- summary of classification and labelling recommendations, and - example(s) of typical label(s).

The examples of typical labels conforming to the requirements of the 28th ATP,contain all obligatory and certain recommended safety phrases. However, additionalsafety phrases that may be used, are included in the summary of classification andlabelling recommendations sections. In particular, [S2] (Keep out of the reach ofchildren) and [S62] (If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: seek medical adviceimmediately and show this container or label) are always presented surrounded bybrackets to indicate that their use is only obligatory where the substance is suppliedto the general public.

It is particularly noted that in the summary of classification and labellingrequirements for the petroleum substance groups, reference is made to all thehealth hazard symbols that are applicable. However, in the example labels, only onehealth hazard symbol has been used and the order of precedence established in the7th Amendment of the DSD has been followed (T>Xn>Xi). However, it is to be notedthat the 7th Amendment does not preclude the use of more than one health hazardsymbol; it states that the one having precedence must appear on a substance labeland the others are optional.

For all groups except the petroleum gases, environmental classification andlabelling is based on the lowest measured value of aquatic toxicity. Thus, if theaquatic toxicity for a group is in the range 1 to 100 mg/l, this means that themeasured 50% effect levels for fish, Daphnia and algae cover this range. Moreimportantly, it also means that some aquatic toxicity parameters are in the range 1to 10 mg/l and hence, that the applicable classification for this group is Dangerousfor the Environment with symbol N and risk phrase R51/53.

In considering each of the petroleum substance groups, the classification andlabelling advice that is offered is mainly based on the known physical, toxicologicaland environmental properties of the substances concerned. Composition onlyaffects these classifications in respect of carcinogenicity where the levels ofbutadiene and benzene determine the classifications of petroleum gases and lowboiling point naphthas, respectively. However, under Section 1.7.2.1 of Annex VI tothe DSD, substances also have to be classified according to the levels of “individualconstituents” that they contain, if these constituents are dangerous substances. Themost important application of this principle is for low boiling point naphthas, sincethese substances contain a number of single hydrocarbons which are classified asdangerous in Annex I to the DSD. Such hydrocarbons include n-hexane, benzene,toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes and isopropylbenzene. Examples of additionalclassifications that follow from the presence of these hydrocarbons are as follows:

• if the benzene concentration is ≥1% but less than 10% m/m, classification asHarmful with R48/20/21/22 applies

• if the toluene concentration is ≥12.5% m/m, classification as Harmful with R20applies.

The relevant concentration limits are either those found in the Annex I entries, or thegeneral limits that apply under the Dangerous Preparations Directive (DPD). For lowboiling point naphthas, a great number of hydrocarbon combinations are possibleand where the composition is known, the concentration limit rules should befollowed to determine the additional health hazard classifications.

In this report, CONCAWE provides recommended guidance on the classificationand labelling of the generic groups of petroleum substances, according to theavailable scientific information. Each supplier must follow the legal requirements forclassifying and labelling petroleum substances as imposed by the Annex I entriesgiven in the 19th, 21st and 22nd ATPs of the DSD. For some petroleum substancegroups, no general recommendations can be made and for these, the classificationand labelling of individual petroleum substances can only be done on a "case-by-case" basis.

5.2. CASE-BY-CASE CLASSIFICATION

Where possible, advice to member companies has been made on a group-widebasis. Such recommendations are based on knowledge of the variation incomposition within the group (and likely influence on toxicity) and the available testdata for the substances. For several petroleum substance groups however, therecommendation to member companies is for case-by-case classification. Theprinciple reasons for such a recommendation are:

• variability in composition, known or considered likely to influence toxicity,

• paucity of available data for substances within the group, precluding confidentprediction,

• inability to read across to all substances within a group due to diverse feedstocksand production processes.

Where case-by-case classification is recommended for a group, it is theresponsibility of the manufacturer or importer of a substance to assess the availabledata and classify accordingly.

LUBRICATING GREASESDefinition:

GreaseA complex combination of hydrocarbons, mainly in the range C12 to C50 and which maycontain organic compounds of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and/or aluminium.

The EINECS entry defines lubricating greases as complex combinations of hydrocarbons (i.e.base oils) which may contain organic salts of alkali or alkaline earth metals or aluminiumcompounds. Accordingly, the classification of these substances depends on the knownproperties of the base oils and the metallic thickeners. The classification for carcinogenicity willbe determined by the mineral oil base stock. This is indicated in Annex I of the 21st ATP by areference to Nota N i.e. the carcinogenic status of a grease meeting the above definition,depends on the refining history of the lubricant base oil that it contains.

Classification

Classification is recommended on a case-by-case basis as follows:

(a) Greases are classified as carcinogenic unless there is evidence that themineral oil base stock is non-carcinogenic.

Classification: Carcinogenic Category 2, symbol T and R45mandatory unless the refining history shows that the base oil is notcarcinogenic: Annex I entry in 21st ATP.

(b) Greases may be classified from the presence of organo-metallicthickeners e.g. barium compounds according to the dangerousproperties of these constituents and the concentrations that are present.

(c) Limited data indicates that aquatic toxicities are greater than 1000 mg/l.Greases may not meet criteria for ready biodegradability andcomponents have log Kow values ranging from 4.5 to greater than 6.

Classification: Dangerous for the Environment, no symbol, R53(unless chronic data justify no classification; other environmentalclassifications may apply based on acute toxicity data.)

Note

Marketed greases are normally preparations, since they contain additional components to thosecovered by the EINECS definition for grease. Accordingly, the hazards of these additionalconstituents together with those of the original grease, need to be taken into account inconsidering whether these products should be classified against the provisions of the DangerousPreparations Directive.

USED AND RE-REFINED OILSDefinition:

Used or re-refined oilSpent formulated oils derived from various uses, most of which are treated by processessuch as clay percolation, hydrogenation and distillation, and mainly in the range C15 to C50.

Little general guidance can be offered on the classification and labelling of substances fallingunder this heading.

Samples of used engine oils have been evaluated in animal studies and have been shown to beof low acute toxicity, not causing skin or eye irritation or skin sensitisation. However, in long-termmouse dermal studies, such oils have shown a potential to produce tumours.

The biodegradability of used engine oils has not been studied. However, from the knownproperties of the hydrocarbon constituents of the original base oils, it is predicted that thehydrocarbon components of used oils will not be readily biodegradable, but will be inherentlybiodegradable. Similarly, the biodegradability of additives used in lubricating oil blends and theirdegradation products formed during use, has not been investigated.

Re-refined oils derive from used oils by a variety of processes, giving products of variablecomposition and no general rules can be laid down as to their properties. Limited data on thebiodegradability of re-refined oils show that they are clearly not readily biodegradable.

Summary of classification and labelling recommendations

Flammability:No general recommendations can be made. Suppliers must classify and label on acase-by-case basis.

Health Effects:No general recommendations can be made. Suppliers must classify and label on acase-by-case basis.

Environmental Effects:Dangerous for the Environment, no symbol, R53 (unless chronic data justify noclassification; other classifications may apply based on acute toxicity data.)

OTHER PETROLEUM GASESDefinition:

Refinery gasStreams obtained from various processes and containing C1 to C5 hydrocarbons, togetherwith significant concentrations of other gases, such as hydrogen, nitrogen, hydrogensulphide, carbon monoxide, etc.

Refinery gases differ from "petroleum gases" in containing significant concentrations of non-hydrocarbon constituents e.g. hydrogen sulphide, hydrogen, etc.

Since there are no data available to CONCAWE on the properties of any of the substancescoming under this heading, any assessment of the classification and labelling must be based onthe composition of the individual substances. Accordingly, advice is offered on four elements ofclassification. Some help may also be gained by inference from the "Petroleum Gases" Section.

Flammability:On the basis that the principal constituents are light hydrocarbons and other flammablegases, these substances are considered to be extremely flammable.Classification: Extremely Flammable, symbol F+ with R12; CONCAWE recommend-ation based on 18th ATP.

Acute ToxicityClassification will depend on the concentrations of toxic substances present e.g. if a gas isknown to contain more than 0.02% v/v hydrogen sulphide, it would need to be classified forits acute toxicity according to the concentration present.Classification: case-by-case basis.

Carcinogenicity:Classification will depend on the concentration of 1,3-butadiene present.Classification: Carcinogenic Category 2, symbol T and R45 unless there is evidencethat the 1,3-butadiene level is less than 0.1% m/m; Annex I entry in 21st ATP.

Environmental EffectsEnvironmental classification is based on data for major components. Refinery gases willrapidly volatilise from the aquatic environment and hence, acute and chronic effects wouldnot be expected in practice.No classification recommended; CONCAWE recommendation based on 18th ATP.

COMMISSION STATEMENT

1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION

1.1. The object of classification is to identify all the physico-chemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological propertiesof substances and preparations which may constitute a risk during normal handling or use. Having identifiedany hazardous properties, the substance or preparation must then be labelled to indicate the hazard(s) inorder to protect the user, the general public and the environment.

1.2. This Annex sets out the general principles governing the classification and labelling of substances andpreparations referred to in Article 4 of this Directive and in Article 4 of Directive 1999/45/EC and otherrelevant Directives on dangerous preparations.

It is addressed to all those concerned (manufacturers, importers, national authorities) with methods ofclassifying and labelling dangerous substances and preparations.

1.3. The requirements of this Directive and of Directive 1999/45/EC are intended to provide a primary means bywhich the general public and persons at work are given essential information about dangerous substances andpreparations. The label draws the attention of persons handling or using substances and preparations to theinherent danger of certain such materials.

L 225/264 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

The label may also serve to draw attention to more comprehensive product information on safety and useavailable in other forms.

1.4. The label takes account of all potential hazards which are likely to be faced in the normal handling and use ofdangerous substances and preparations when in the form in which they are placed on the market, but notnecessarily in any different form in which they may finally be used, e.g. diluted. The most severe hazards arehighlighted by symbols, such hazards and those arising from other dangerous properties are specified instandard risk phrases, and safety phrases give advice on necessary precautions.

In the case of substances, the information is completed by the name of the substance under an internationallyrecognised chemical nomenclature, the preferred name being the one used in the European Inventory ofExisting Commercial Chemical Substances (Einecs), or in the European List of Notified Chemical Substances(Elincs), the EC number and the name, address and telephone number of the person established in theCommunity who is responsible for placing the substance on the market.

In the case of preparations, the information in accordance with Article 10(2) of Directive 1999/45/EC, iscompleted by:

� the trade name or the designation of the preparation,

� the chemical name of the substance or substances present in the preparation, and

� the name, full address and telephone number of the person established in the Community who isresponsible for placing the preparation on the market.

1.5. Article 6 requires that manufacturers, distributors and importers of dangerous substances which appear in theEinecs but which have not yet been introduced into Annex I shall be obliged to carry out an investigation tomake themselves aware of the relevant and accessible data which exist concerning the properties of suchsubstances. On the basis of this information, they shall package and provisionally label these substancesaccording to the rules laid down in Articles 22 to 25 and the criteria in this Annex.

1.6. Data required for classification and labelling

1.6.1. For substances the data required for classification and labelling may be obtained:

(a) as regards substances for which the information specified in Annex VII is required, most of the necessarydata for classification and labelling appear in the �base set�. This classification and labelling must bereviewed, if necessary, when further information is available (Annex VIII);

(b) as regards other substances (e.g. those referred to in section 1.5), the data required for classification andlabelling may, if necessary, be obtained from a number of different sources, for example:

� the results of previous tests,

� information required by international rules on the transport of dangerous substances,

� information taken from reference works and the literature, or

� information derived from practical experience.

The results of validated structure-activity relationships and expert judgement may also be taken intoaccount where appropriate.

1.6.2. For preparations, normally the data required for classification and labelling may be obtained:

(a) if it concerns physicochemical data, by the application of the methods specified in Annex V. This appliesalso to preparations covered by Directive 91/414/EEC unless other internationally recognised methods areacceptable in accordance with the provisions of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC (Article 5(5)of Directive 1999/45/EC). For gaseous preparations a calculation method may be used for flammable andoxidising properties (see 9.1.1.1 and 9.1.1.2). For non-gaseous preparations containing organic peroxidesa calculation method may be used for oxidising properties (see 2.2.2.1);

(b) if it concerns data on health effects:

� by the application of the methods specified in Annex V, unless, in the case of plant protectionproducts, other internationally recognised methods are acceptable in accordance with the provisionsof Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC (Article 6(1) (b) of Directive 1999/45/EC),

� and/or by the application of a conventional method referred to in Article 6 of and Annex II, PartsA.1-6 and B.1-5, to Directive 1999/45/EC, or,

� in the case of R65, by the application of the rules under 3.2.3,

� however, if it concerns the evaluation of the carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxicityproperties, by the application of a conventional method referred to in Article 6 of and Annex II, PartsA.7-9 and B.6, to Directive 1999/45/EC;

(c) if it concerns data on ecotoxicological properties:

(i) for aquatic toxicity only:

� by the application of the methods specified in Annex V, subject to the conditions referred to inAnnex III, Part C, to Directive 1999/45/EC, unless, in the case of plant protection products, otherinternationally recognised methods are acceptable in accordance with the provisions of AnnexesII and III to Directive 91/414/EEC (Article 7(1)(b) of Directive 1999/45/EC), or

� by application of a conventional method referred to in Article 7 of and Annex III, Parts A and B,to Directive 1999/45/EC;

(ii) for the evaluation of the potential for (or actual) bioaccumulation through the determination of logPow (or BCF), or the evaluation of degradability, by application of a conventional method referred toin Article 7 of and Annex III, Parts A and B, to Directive 1999/45/EC;

(iii) for dangers of the ozone layer by application of a conventional method referred to in Article 7 ofand Annex III, Parts A and B, to Directive 1999/45/EC.

Note concerning the performance of animal tests:

The performance of animal tests to establish experimental data is subject to the provisions of Directive86/609/EEC regarding the protection of animals used for experimental purposes.

Note concerning physicochemical properties:

For organic peroxides and organic peroxide preparations data may be derived from the calculation method setout in section 9.5. For gaseous preparations a calculation method may be used for flammable and oxidisingproperties (see section 9).

1.7. Application of the guide criteria

Classification must cover the physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties of substances andpreparations.

Classification of substances and preparations is made according to section 1.6, on the basis of the criteria insections 2 to 5 (substances) and sections 2, 3, 4.2.4 and 5 of this Annex. All types of hazard must beconsidered. For instance, classification under 3.2.1 does not imply that the sections such as 3.2.2 or 3.2.4 canbe ignored.

The choice of symbol(s) and risk phrase(s) is made on the basis of the classification in order to ensure that thespecific nature of the potential dangers identified in classification is expressed on the label.

Notwithstanding the criteria given under 2.2.3, 2.2.4 and 2.2.5, substances and preparations in the form ofaerosols shall be subject to the provisions of Directive 75/324/EEC as amended and adapted to technicalprogress.

1.7.1. Definitions

�Substances� means chemical elements and their compounds in the natural state or obtained by any productionprocess, including any additive necessary to preserve the stability of the product, and any impurity derivingfrom the production process used, but excluding any solvent which may be separated without affecting thestability of the substance or changing its composition.

A substance may be chemically very well defined (e.g. acetone) or a complex mixture of constituents ofvariable composition (e.g. aromatic distillates). For certain complex substances, some individual constituentshave been identified.

�Preparations� means mixtures or solutions composed of two or more substances.

1.7.2. Application of the guide criteria for substances

The guidance criteria set out in this Annex are directly applicable when the data in question have beenobtained from test methods comparable with those described in Annex V. In other cases, the available datamust be evaluated by comparing the test methods employed with those indicated in Annex V and the rulesspecified in this Annex for determining the appropriate classification and labelling.

In some cases there may be doubt over the application of the relevant criteria, especially where these requirethe use of expert judgement. In such cases the manufacturer, distributor or importer should provisionallyclassify and label the substance on the basis of an assessment of the evidence by a competent person.

Without prejudice to Article 6, where the above procedure has been followed and there is concern overpossible inconsistencies then a proposal may be submitted for the entry of the provisional classification intoAnnex I. The proposal should be made to one of the Member States and should be accompanied byappropriate scientific data (see also section 4.1).

A similar procedure may be followed when information is identified which gives cause for concern over theaccuracy of an existing entry in Annex I.

1.7.2.1. Classification of substances containing impurities, additives or individual constituents

Where impurities, additives or individual constituents of substances have been identified, they shall be takeninto account if their concentration is greater than or equal to the limits specified:

� 0,1 % for substances classified as very toxic, toxic, carcinogenic (category 1 or 2), mutagenic (category 1or 2), toxic to reproduction (category 1 or 2), or dangerous for the environment (assigned the symbol �N�for the aquatic environment, dangerous for the ozone layer),

� 1 % for substances classified as harmful, corrosive, irritant sensitising, carcinogenic (category 3),mutagenic (category 3), toxic to reproduction (category 3), or dangerous for the environment (notassigned the symbol �N�, i.e. harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects),

unless lower values have been specified in Annex I.

With the exception of substances listed specifically in Annex I, classification should be carried out accordingto the requirements of Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Council Directive 1999/45/EC.

In the case of asbestos (650-013-00-6) this general rule does not apply until a concentration limit has beenfixed in Annex I. Substances in which asbestos is present must be classified and labelled according to theprinciples in Article 6 of this Directive.

1.7.3. Application of the guide criteria for preparations

The guidance criteria set out in this Annex are directly applicable when the data in question have beenobtained from test methods comparable with those described in Annex V with the exception of the criteria ofsection 4 for which only the conventional method is applicable. A conventional method is also applicable inrelation to the criteria of section 5, with the exception of aquatic toxicity, subject to the conditions referred to

21.8.2001 L 225/267Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
102

in Annex III, Part C, to Directive 1999/45/EC. For preparations covered by Directive 91/414/EEC data forclassification and labelling are also acceptable from other internationally recognised methods (see specialprovisions in section 1.6 of this Annex). In other cases, the available data must be evaluated by comparing thetest methods employed with those indicated in Annex V and the rules specified in this Annex for determiningthe appropriate classification and labelling.

Where the health and environmental hazards are assessed by applying a conventional method referred to inArticles 6 and 7 and Annexes II and III to Directive 1999/45/EC the individual concentration limits to be usedare those set out either:

� in Annex I to this Directive, or

� in Annex II, Part B, and/or Annex III, Part B, to Directive 1999/45/EC where the substance or substancesdo not appear in Annex I to this Directive or appear in it without concentration limits.

In the case of preparations containing mixtures of gases, classification with respect to the health andenvironmental effects will be established by the calculation method on the basis of the individualconcentration limits from Annex I to this Directive or when these limits are not in Annex I on the basis ofthe criteria of Annexes II and III to Directive 1999/45/EC.

1.7.3.1. Preparations or substances described in section 1.7.2.1 used as constituents of another preparation

The labelling of such preparations must be in conformity with the provisions of Article 10 according to theprinciples set out in Articles 3 and 4 of Directive 1999/45/EC. However, in certain cases, the information onthe label of the preparation or substance described in section 1.7.2.1 is insufficient to enable othermanufacturers who wish to use it as a constituent of their own preparation(s) to carry out the classificationand labelling of their preparation(s) correctly.

In these cases, the person established within the Community responsible for placing the original preparationor substance described in section 1.7.2.1 on the market, whether it be the manufacturer, the importer or thedistributor shall supply upon justified request and as soon as possible all necessary data concerning thedangerous substances present to enable correct classification and labelling of the new preparation. This data isalso necessary to enable the person responsible for placing the new preparation on the market to comply withother requirements of Directive 1999/45/EC.

2. CLASSIFICATION ON THE BASIS OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

2.1. Introduction

The test methods relating to explosive, oxidising and flammable properties included in Annex V serve to givespecific meaning to the general definitions given in Article 2(2)(a) to (e). Criteria follow directly from the testmethods in Annex V as far as they are mentioned.

If adequate information is available to demonstrate in practice that the physico-chemical properties ofsubstances and preparations (apart from organic peroxides) are different from those revealed by the testmethods given in Annex V, then such substances and preparations should be classified according to thehazard they present, if any, to those handling the substances and preparations or to other persons.

2.2. Criteria for classification, choice of symbols, indication of danger and choice of risk phrases

In the case of preparations, the criteria referred to in Article 5 of Directive 1999/45/EC need to be taken intoconsideration.

2.2.1. Explosive

Substances and preparations shall be classified as explosive and assigned the symbol �E� and the indication ofdanger �explosive� in accordance with the results of the tests given in Annex V and in so far as the substances

europia europia
103

and preparations are explosive as placed on the market. One risk phrase is obligatory, it is to be specified onthe basis of the following:

R2 Risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition

� Substances and preparations except those set out below.

R3 Extreme risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other source of ignition

� Substances and preparations which are particularly sensitive such as picric acid salts or PETN.

2.2.2. Oxidising

Substances and preparations shall be classified as oxidising and assigned the symbol �O� and the indication ofdanger �oxidising� in accordance with the results of the tests given in Annex V. One risk phrase is obligatory,it is to be specified on the basis of the test results but subject to the following:

R7 May cause fire

� Organic peroxides which have flammable properties even when not in contact with othercombustible material.

R8 Contact with combustible material may cause fire

� Other oxidising substances and preparations, including inorganic peroxides, which may cause fire orenhance the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.

R9 Explosive when mixed with combustible material

� Other substances and preparations, including inorganic peroxides, which become explosive whenmixed with combustible materials, e.g. certain chlorates.

2.2.2.1. Remarks concerning peroxides

For the explosive properties, an organic peroxide or preparation thereof in the form in which it is placed onthe market is classified according to the criteria in section 2.2.1 on the basis of tests carried out in accordancewith the methods given in Annex V.

For the oxidising properties the existing methods in Annex V cannot be applied to organic peroxides.

For substances, organic peroxides not already classified as explosive are classified as dangerous on the basis oftheir structure (e.g. R-O-O-H; R1-O-O-R2).

Preparations not already classified as explosive shall be classified using the calculation method based on thepercentage of active oxygen shown in section 9.5.

Any organic peroxide or preparation thereof not already classified as explosive is classified as oxidising, if theperoxide or its formulation contains:

� more than 5 % of organic peroxides, or

� more than 0,5 % available oxygen from the organic peroxides, and more than 5 % hydrogen peroxide.

2.2.3. Extremely flammable

Substances and preparations shall be classified as extremely flammable and assigned the symbol �F+� and theindication of danger �extremely flammable� in accordance with the results of the tests given in Annex V. Therisk phrase shall be assigned in accordance with the following criteria:

R12 Extremely flammable

� Liquid substances and preparations which have a flash point lower than 0 °C and a boiling point (orin case of a boiling range the initial boiling point) lower than or equal to 35 °C.

� Gaseous substances and preparations which are flammable in contact with air at ambienttemperature and pressure.

21.8.2001 L 225/269Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
104

2.2.4. Highly flammable

Substances and preparations shall be classified as highly flammable and assigned the symbol �F� and theindication of danger �highly flammable� in accordance with the results of the tests given in Annex V. Riskphrases shall be assigned in accordance with the following criteria:

R11 Highly flammable

� Solid substances and preparations which may readily catch fire after brief contact with a source ofignition and which continue to burn or to be consumed after removal of the source of ignition.

� Liquid substances and preparations having a flash point below 21 °C but which are not extremelyflammable.

R15 Contact with water liberates extremely flammable gases

� Substances and preparations which, in contact with water or damp air, evolve extremely flammablegases in dangerous quantities, at a minimum rate of 1 litre per kilogram per hour.

R17 Spontaneously flammable in air

� Substances and preparations which may become hot and finally catch fire in contact with air atambient temperature without any input of energy.

2.2.5. Flammable

Substances and preparations shall be classified as flammable in accordance with the results of the tests givenin Annex V. The risk phrase shall be assigned in accordance with the criteria mentioned below.

R10 Flammable

� Liquid substances and preparations having a flash point equal to or greater than 21 °C, and less thanor equal to 55 °C.

However, in practice it has been shown that a preparation having a flash point equal to or greater than 21 °Cand less than or equal to 55 °C need not be classified as flammable if the preparation could not in any waysupport combustion and only so long as there is no reason to fear risks to those handling these preparationsor to other persons.

2.2.6. Other physico-chemical properties

Additional risk phrases shall be assigned to substances and preparations which have been classified by virtueof sections 2.2.1 to 2.2.5 or by sections 3, 4 and 5, in accordance with the following criteria (based onexperience obtained during compilation of Annex I):

For substances and preparations which may form sensitive explosive metallic derivatives, e.g. picric acid,styphnic acid.

R5 Heating may cause an explosion

For thermally unstable substances and preparations not classified as explosive, e.g. perchloric acid> 50 %.

R6 Explosive with or without contact with air

For substances and preparations which are unstable at ambient temperatures, e.g. acetylene.

For preparations not in themselves classified as flammable, which contain volatile components which areflammable in air.

R19 May form explosive peroxides

For substances and preparations which may form explosive peroxides during storage, e.g. diethyl ether,1,4-dioxan.

R30 Can become highly flammable in use

For preparations not in themselves classified as flammable, which may become flammable due to the lossof non-flammable volatile components.

R44 Risk of explosion if heated under confinement

For substances and preparations not in themselves classified as explosive in accordance with section 2.2.1above but which may nevertheless display explosive properties in practice if heated under sufficientconfinement. For example, certain substances which would decompose explosively if heated in a steeldrum do not show this effect if heated in less-strong containers.

For other additional risk phrases see section 3.2.8.

3. CLASSIFICATION ON THE BASIS OF TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

3.1. Introduction

3.1.1. Classification is concerned with both the acute and long-term effects of substances and preparations, whetherresulting from a single instance of exposure or repeated or prolonged exposure.

Where it can be demonstrated by epidemiological studies, by scientifically valid case studies as specified in thisAnnex or by statistically backed experience, such as the assessment of data from poison information units orconcerning occupational diseases, that toxicological effects on man differ from those suggested by theapplication of the methods outlined in section 1.6 of this Annex, then the substance or preparation shall beclassified according to its effects on man. However, tests on man should be discouraged and should notnormally be used to negate positive animal data.

Directive 86/609/EEC seeks to protect animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes. For severalendpoints there are validated in vitro test methods in Annex V to this Directive and these tests should be usedwhere appropriate.

3.1.2. The classification of substances must be made on the basis of the experimental data available in accordancewith the following criteria which take into account the magnitude of these effects:

(a) for acute toxicity (lethal and irreversible effects after a single exposure), the criteria under sections 3.2.1to 3.2.3 are to be used;

(b) for subacute, subchronic or chronic toxicity the criteria under sections 3.2.2 to 3.2.4 are to be used;

21.8.2001 L 225/271Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
106

(c) for corrosive and irritant effects the criteria under sections 3.2.5 and 3.2.6 are to be used;

(d) for sensitising effects the criteria under section 3.2.7 are to be used;

(e) for specific effects on health (carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and reproductive toxicity), the criteria insection 4 are to be used.

3.1.3. For preparations, the classification relating to dangerous for health is carried out:

(a) on the basis of a conventional method referred to in Article 6 of and Annex II to Directive 1999/45/ECin the absence of experimental data. In this case, the classification is based on the individualconcentration limits:

� either taken from Annex I to this Directive, or

� from Annex II, Part B, to Directive 1999/45/EC where the substance or substances do not appear inAnnex I to this Directive or appear in it without concentration limits;

(b) or when experimental data are available, according to the criteria described under section 3.1.2 excludingthe carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction properties referred to under 3.1.2(e) which mustbe evaluated by a conventional method referred to in Article 6 of and Annex II, Parts A.7-9 and B.6, toDirective 1999/45/EC.

Note: Without prejudice to requirements of Directive 91/414/EEC, only where it can be scientificallydemonstrated by the person responsible for placing the preparation on the market that the toxicologicalproperties of the preparation cannot correctly be determined by the method outlined in paragraph 3.1.3(a), oron the basis of existing test results on animals, the methods outlined in paragraph 3.1.3(b) may be used,provided they are justified or specifically authorised under Article 12 of Directive 86/609/EEC.

Whichever method is used for the evaluation of the danger of a preparation, all the dangerous effects onhealth as defined in Annex II, Part B, to Directive 1999/45/EC must be taken into consideration.

3.1.4. When the classification is to be established from experimental results obtained in animal tests the resultsshould have validity for man in that the tests reflect, in an appropriate way, the risks to man.

3.1.5. The acute oral toxicity of substances or preparations placed on the market may be established either by amethod permitting assessment of the LD50 value, or by determining the discriminating dose (the fixed dosemethod, or by determining the range of exposure where lethality is expected (the acute toxic class method).

3.1.5.1. The discriminating dose is the dose which causes evident toxicity but not mortality and must be one of thefour dosage levels specified in Annex V (5, 50, 500 or 2 000 mg per kg body weight).

The concept �evident toxicity� is used to designate toxic effects, after exposure to the substance tested, whichare so severe that exposure to the next highest fixed dose would probably lead to mortality.

The results of testing at a particular dose following the fixed dose method may be either:

� less than 100 % survival,

� 100 % survival, but evident toxicity,

� 100 % survival, but no evident toxicity.

In the criteria in sections 3.2.1, 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 only the final test result is shown. The 2 000 mg/kg doseshould be used primarily to obtain information on the toxic effects of substances which are of low acutetoxicity and which are not classified on the basis of acute toxicity.

The fixed dose method requires in some cases testing at higher or lower doses, if not already tested at therelevant dose level. Refer also to the evaluation table in test method B.1 bis.

3.1.5.2. The range of exposure where lethality is expected is derived from the observed absence or presence ofsubstance related mortality following the acute toxic class method. For initial testing one of three fixedstarting doses (25, 200 or 2 000 mg per kg body weight) is used.

L 225/272 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
107

The acute toxic class method requires in some cases testing at higher or lower doses, if not already tested atthe relevant dose level. Refer also to the test procedure flow charts in test method B.1 ter of Annex V.

� a kinematic viscosity measured by a calibrated glass capillary viscometer in accordance with ISO3104/3105 of less than 7 × 10¯6 m2/sec. at 40 °C (ISO 3104, 1994 edition, relating to�Petroleum products � Transparent and opaque liquids � Determination of kinematic viscosityand calculation of dynamic viscosity�; ISO 3105, 1994 edition, relating to �Glass capillarykinematic viscometers � Specifications and operating instructions�), or

� a kinematic viscosity derived from measurements of rotational viscometry in accordance withISO 3219 of less than 7 × 10¯6 m2/sec. at 40 °C (ISO 3219, 1993 edition, relating to �Plastics �Polymers/resins in the liquid state or as emulsions or dispersions � Determination of viscosityusing a rotational viscometer with defined shear rate�).

Note that substances and preparations meeting these criteria need not be classified if they have amean surface tension greater than 33 mN/m at 25 °C as measured by the du Nouy tensiometer orby the test methods shown in Annex V, Part A.5;

(b) for substances and preparations, based on practical experience in humans.

R68 Possible risk of irreversible effects

� strong evidence that irreversible damage other than the effects referred to in section 4 is likely to becaused by a single exposure by an appropriate route, generally in the above-mentioned dose range.

In order to indicate route of administration/exposure one of the following combinations shall be used:R68/20, R68/21, R68/22, R68/20/21, R68/20/22, R68/21/22, R68/20/21/22.

R48 Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure

� serious damage (clear functional disturbance or morphological change which has toxicologicalsignificance) is likely to be caused by repeated or prolonged exposure by an appropriate route.

Substances and preparations are classified at least as harmful when these effects are observed at levels ofthe order of:

� oral, rat Ä 50 mg/kg (bodyweight)/day,

� dermal, rat or rabbit Ä 100 mg/kg (bodyweight)/day,

� inhalation, rat Ä 0,25 mg/l, 6 h/day.

These guide values can apply directly when severe lesions have been observed in a subchronic (90 days)toxicity test. When interpreting the results of a subacute (28 days) toxicity test these figures should beincreased approximately threefold. If a chronic (two years) toxicity test is available it should be evaluated on acase-by-case basis. If results of studies of more than one duration are available, then those from the study ofthe longest duration should normally be used.

In order to indicate route of administration/exposure one of the following combinations shall be used:R48/20, R48/21, R48/22, R48/20/21, R48/20/22, R48/21/22, R48/20/21/22.

3.2.3.1. Comments regarding volatile substances

For certain substances with a high saturated vapour concentration evidence may be available to indicateeffects that give cause for concern. Such substances may not be classified under the criteria for health effectsin this guide (3.2.3) or not covered by section 3.2.8. However, where there is appropriate evidence that suchsubstances may present a risk in normal handling and use, then classification on a case-by-case basis in AnnexI may be necessary.

3.2.4. Comments regarding the use of R48

Use of this risk phrase refers to the specific range of biological effects within the terms described below. Forapplication of this risk phrase serious damage to health is to be considered to include death, clear functionaldisturbance or morphological changes which are toxicologically significant. It is particularly important when

21.8.2001 L 225/275Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
110

these changes are irreversible. It is also important to consider not only specific severe changes in a singleorgan or biological system but also generalised changes of a less severe nature involving several organs, orsevere changes in general health status.

When assessing whether there is evidence for these types of effects reference should be made to the followingguidelines:

1. Evidence indicating that R48 should be applied:

(a) substance-related deaths;

(b) (i) major functional changes in the central or peripheral nervous systems, including sight, hearingand the sense of smell, assessed by clinical observations or other appropriate methods (e.g.electrophysiology);

(ii) major functional changes in other organ systems (for example the lung);

(c) any consistent changes in clinical biochemistry, haematology or urinalysis parameters which indicatesevere organ dysfunction. Haematological disturbances are considered to be particularly important ifthe evidence suggests that they are due to decreased bone marrow production of blood cells;

(d) severe organ damage noted on microscopic examination following autopsy:

(i) widespread or severe necrosis, fibrosis or granuloma formation in vital organs with regenerativecapacity (e.g. liver);

(ii) severe morphological changes that are potentially reversible but are clear evidence of markedorgan dysfunction (e.g. severe fatty change in the liver, severe acute tubular nephrosis in thekidney, ulcerative gastritis); or

(iii) evidence of appreciable cell death in vital organs incapable of regeneration (e.g. fibrosis of themyocardium or dying back of a nerve) or in stem cell populations (e.g. aplasia or hypoplasia ofthe bone marrow).

The above evidence will most usually be obtained from animal experiments. When considering dataderived from practical experience special attention should be given to exposure levels.

2. Evidence indicating that R48 should not be applied:

The use of this risk phrase is restricted to �serious damage to health by prolonged exposure�. A numberof substance-related effects may be observed in both humans and animals that would not justify the useof R48. These effects are relevant when attempting to determine a no-effect level for a chemicalsubstance.

Examples of well-documented changes which would not normally justify classification with R48,irrespective of their statistical significance, include:

(a) clinical observations or changes in bodyweight gain, food consumption or water intake, which mayhave some toxicological importance but which do not, by themselves, indicate �serious damage�;

(b) small changes in clinical biochemistry, haematology or urinalysis parameters which are of doubtfulor minimal toxicological importance;

(c) changes in organ weights with no evidence of organ dysfunction;

(d) adaptative responses (e.g. macrophage migration in the lung, liver hypertrophy and enzymeinduction, hyperplastic responses to irritants). Local effects on the skin produced by repeated dermalapplication of a substance which are more appropriately classified with R38 �irritating to skin�; or

(e) where a species-specific mechanism of toxicity (e.g. specific metabolic pathways) has beendemonstrated.

3.2.5. Corrosive

The substance or preparation shall be classified as corrosive and assigned the symbol �C� and the indication ofdanger �corrosive� in accordance with the following criteria:

� a substance or a preparation is considered to be corrosive if, when it is applied to healthy intact animalskin, it produces full thickness destruction of skin tissue on at least one animal during the test for skinirritation cited in Annex V or during an equivalent method,

L 225/276 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
111

� classification can be based on the results of a validated in vitro test, such as that cited in Annex V (B.40.Skin corrosion: rat skin transcutaneous electrical resistance assay and human skin model assay),

� a substance or a preparation should also be considered corrosive if the result can be predicted, forexample from strongly acid or alkaline reactions indicated by a pH of 2 or less or 11,5 or greater.However, where extreme pH is the basis for classification, acid/alkali reserve (1) may also be taken intoconsideration. If consideration of alkali/acid reserve suggests the substance or preparation may not becorrosive then further testing should be carried out to confirm this, preferably by use of an appropriatevalidated in vitro test. Consideration of acid/alkali reserve should not be used alone to exoneratesubstances or preparations from classification as corrosive.

Risk phrases shall be assigned in accordance with the following criteria:

R35 Causes severe burns

� if, when applied to healthy intact animal skin, full thickness destruction of skin tissue occurs as aresult of up to three minutes exposure, or if this result can be predicted.

R34 Causes burns

� if, when applied to healthy intact animal skin, full thickness destruction of skin tissue occurs as aresult of up to four hours exposure, or if this result can be predicted,

� organic hydroperoxides, except where evidence to the contrary is available.

Notes:

Where classification is based on results of a validated in vitro test R35 or R34 should be applied according tothe capacity of the test method to discriminate between these.

Where classification is based upon consideration of extreme pH alone, R35 should be applied.

3.2.6. Irritant

Substances and preparations shall be classified as irritant and assigned the symbol �Xi� and the indication ofdanger �irritant� in accordance with the criteria given below.

3.2.6.1. Inflammation of the skin

The following risk phrase shall be assigned in accordance with the criteria given:

R38 Irritating to skin

� Substances and preparations which cause significant inflammation of the skin which persists for atleast 24 hours after an exposure period of up to four hours determined on the rabbit according tothe cutaneous irritation test method cited in Annex V.

Inflammation of the skin is significant if:

(a) the mean value of the scores for either erythema and eschar formation or oedema formation,calculated over all the animals tested, is 2 or more; or

(b) in the case where the Annex V test has been completed using three animals, either erythemaand eschar formation or oedema formation equivalent to a mean value of 2 or more calculatedfor each animal separately has been observed in two or more animals.

In both cases all scores at each of the reading times (24, 48 and 72 hours) for an effect should beused in calculating respective mean values.

Inflammation of the skin is also significant if it persists in at least two animals at the end of theobservation time. Particular effects e.g. hyperplasia, scaling, discoloration, fissures, scabs and alopeciashould be taken into account.

(1) J. R. Young, M. J. How, A. P. Walker and W. M. H. Worth (1988), �Classification as corrosive or irritant to skin of preparationscontaining acidic or alkaline substances, without testing on animals�, Toxic. In Vitro 2(1): pp. 19-26.

21.8.2001 L 225/277Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
112

Relevant data may also be available from non-acute animal studies (see comments on R48, section2.d). These are considered significant if the effects seen are comparable to those described above.

� Substances and preparations which cause significant inflammation of the skin, based on practicalobservations in humans on immediate, prolonged or repeated contact.

� Organic peroxides, except where evidence to the contrary is available.

Paresthesia:

Paresthesia caused in humans by skin contact with pyrethroid pesticides is not regarded as an irritant effectjustifying classification as Xi; R38. The S-phrase S24 should however be applied for substances seen to causethis effect.

3.2.6.2. Ocular lesions

The following risk phrases shall also be assigned in accordance with the criteria given:

R36 Irritating to eyes

� Substances and preparations which, when applied to the eye of the animal, cause significant ocularlesions which occur within 72 hours after exposure and which persist for at least 24 hours.

Ocular lesions are significant if the mean scores of the eye irritation test cited in Annex V have any ofthe following values:

� cornea opacity equal to or greater than 2 but less than 3,

� iris lesion equal to or greater than 1 but not greater than 1,5,

� redness of the conjunctivae equal to or greater than 2,5,

� oedema of the conjunctivae (chemosis) equal to or greater than 2,

or, in the case where the Annex V test has been completed using three animals if the lesions, on two ormore animals, are equivalent to any of the above values except that for iris lesion the value should beequal to or greater than 1 but less than 2 and for redness of the conjunctivae the value should be equalto or greater than 2,5.

In both cases all scores at each of the reading times (24, 48 and 72 hours) for an effect should be usedin calculating the respective mean values.

� Substances or preparations which cause significant ocular lesions, based on practical experience inhumans.

� Organic peroxides except where evidence to the contrary is available.

R41 Risk of serious damage to eyes

� Substances and preparations which, when applied to the eye of the animal cause severe ocularlesions which occur within 72 hours after exposure and which persist for at least 24 hours.

Ocular lesions are severe if the means of the scores of the eye irritation test in Annex V have any of thevalues:

� cornea opacity equal to or greater than 3,

� iris lesion greater than 1,5.

The same shall be the case where the test has been completed using three animals if these lesions, ontwo or more animals, have any of the values:

� cornea opacity equal to or greater than 3,

� iris lesion equal to 2.

In both cases all scores at each of the reading times (24, 48 and 72 hours) for an effect should be usedin calculating the respective mean values.

L 225/278 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
113

Ocular lesions are also severe when they are still present at the end of the observation time.

Ocular lesions are also severe if the substance or preparation causes irreversible colouration of the eyes.

� Substances and preparations which cause severe ocular lesions, based on practical experience in humans.

Note:

When a substance or preparation is classified as corrosive and assigned R34 or R35, the risk of severe damageto eyes is considered implicit and R41 is not included in the label.

3.2.6.3. Respiratory system irritation

The following risk phrase shall be assigned in accordance with the criteria given:

R37 Irritating to respiratory system

Substances and preparations which cause serious irritation to the respiratory system based on:

� practical observation in humans

� positive results from appropriate animal tests.

Comments regarding the use of R37:

In interpreting practical observations in humans, care should be taken to distinguish between effects whichlead to classification with R48 (see section 3.2.4) from those leading to classification with R37. Conditionsnormally leading to classification with R37 are reversible and usually limited to the upper airways.

Positive results from appropriate animal tests may include data obtained in a general toxicity test, includinghistopathological data from the respiratory system. Data from the measurement of experimental bradypneamay also be used to assess airway irritation.

3.2.7. Sensitisation

3.2.7.1. Sensitisation by inhalation

Substances and preparations shall be classified as sensitising and assigned the symbol �Xn�, the indication ofdanger �Harmful� and the risk phrase R42 in accordance with the criteria given below.

R42 May cause sensitisation by inhalation

� if there is evidence that the substance or preparation can induce specific respiratory hypersensitivity,

� where there are positive results from appropriate animal tests, or

� if the substance is an isocyanate, unless there is evidence that the specific isocyanate does not causerespiratory hypersensitivity.

Comments regarding the use of R42:

Human evidence

Evidence that the substance or preparation can induce specific respiratory hypersensitivity will normallybe based on human experience. In this context hypersensitivity is normally seen as asthma, but otherhypersensitivity reactions such as rhinitis and alveolitis are also considered. The condition will have theclinical character of an allergic reaction. However, immunological mechanisms do not have to bedemonstrated.

When considering the evidence from human exposure, it is necessary for a decision on classification totake into account in addition to the evidence from the cases:

� the size of the population exposed,

� the extent of exposure.

21.8.2001 L 225/279Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
114

The evidence referred to above could be:

� clinical history and data from appropriate lung function tests related to exposure to the substance,confirmed by other supportive evidence which may include:

� a chemical structure related to substances known to cause respiratory hypersensitivity,

� an in vivo immunological test (e.g. skin prick test),

� an in vitro immunological test (e.g. serological analysis),

� studies indicating other specific but non-immunological mechanisms of action, e.g. repeatedlow-level irritation, pharmacologically mediated effects, or

� data from a positive bronchial challenge test with the substance conducted according toaccepted guidelines for the determination of a specific hypersensitivity reaction.

Clinical history should include both medical and occupational history to determine a relationshipbetween exposure to a specific substance or preparation and development of respiratory hypersensitivity.Relevant information includes aggravating factors both in the home and workplace, the onset andprogress of the disease, family history and medical history of the patient in question. The medical historyshould also include a note of other allergic or airway disorders from childhood, and smoking history.

The results of positive bronchial challenge tests are considered to provide sufficient evidence forclassification on their own. It is however recognised that in practice many of the examinations listedabove will already have been carried out.

Substances that elicit symptoms of asthma by irritation only in people with bronchial hyperreactivityshould not be assigned R42.

Animal studies

Data from tests which may be indicative of the potential of a substance or preparation to causesensitisation by inhalation in humans may include:

� IgE measurements (e.g. in mice), or

� specific pulmonary responses in guinea pigs.

3.2.7.2. Sensitisation by skin contact

Substances and preparations shall be classified as sensitising and assigned the symbol �Xi�, the indication ofdanger �Irritant� and the risk phrase R43 in accordance with the criteria given below:

R43 May cause sensitisation by skin contact

� if practical experience shows the substance or preparation to be capable of inducing a sensitisationby skin contact in a substantial number of persons, or

� where there are positive results from an appropriate animal test.

Comments regarding the use of R43:

Human evidence

The following evidence (practical experience) is sufficient to classify a substance or preparation with R43:

� positive data from appropriate patch testing, normally in more than one dermatological clinic, or

� epidemiological studies showing allergic contacts dermatitis caused by the substance or preparation.Situations in which a high proportion of those exposed exhibit characteristic symptoms are to belooked at with special concern, even if the number of cases is small, or

� positive data from experimental studies in man (see also 3.1.1).

The following is sufficient to classify a substance with R43 when there is supportive evidence:

� isolated episodes of allergic contact dermatitis, or

� epidemiological studies where chance, bias or confounders have not been ruled out fully withreasonable confidence.

L 225/280 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
115

Supportive evidence may include:

� data from animal tests performed according to existing guidelines, with a result that does not meetthe criteria given in the section on animal studies but is sufficiently close to the limit to beconsidered significant, or

� data from non-standard methods, or

� appropriate structure-activity relationships.

Animal studies

Positive results from appropriate animal tests are:

� in the case of the adjuvant type test method for skin sensitisation detailed in Annex V or in the caseof other adjuvant-type test methods, a response of at least 30 % of the animals is considered positive,

� for any other test method a response of at least 15 % of the animals is considered positive.

3.2.7.3. Immunological contact urticaria

Some substances or preparations, which meet the criteria for R42 may in addition cause immunologicalcontact urticaria. In these cases, information concerning contact urticaria should be included by the use ofappropriate S-phrases, usually S24 and S36/37, and in the safety data sheet.

For substances or preparations, which produce signs of immunological contact urticaria which do not fulfilthe criteria for R42, consideration should be given to classification with R43.

There is no recognised animal model available to identify substances which cause immunological contacturticaria. Therefore, classification will normally be based on human evidence which will be similar to that forskin sensitisation (R43).

3.2.8. Other toxicological properties

Additional risk phrases shall be assigned in accordance with the following criteria (based on experienceobtained during compilation of Annex I) to substances and preparations classified by virtue of 2.2.1 to 3.2.7and/or sections 4 and 5:

R29 Contact with water liberates toxic gas

For substances and preparations which in contact with water or damp air, evolve very toxic/toxic gasesin potentially dangerous amounts, e.g. aluminium phosphide, phosphorus pentasulphide.

R31 Contact with acids liberates toxic gas

For substances and preparations which react with acids to evolve toxic gases in dangerous amounts, e.g.sodium hypochlorite, barium polysulphide. For substances used by members of the general public, theuse of S50 (do not mix with � (to be specified by the manufacturer)) would be more suitable.

R32 Contact with acids liberates very toxic gas

For substances and preparations which react with acids to evolve very toxic gases in dangerous amounts;e.g. salts of hydrogen cyanide, sodium azide. For substances used by members of the general public, theuse of S50 (do not mix with � (to be specified by the manufacturer)) would be more suitable.

R33 Danger of cumulative effects

For substances and preparations when accumulation in the human body is likely and may cause someconcern which, however, is not sufficient to justify the use of R48.

For comments on the use of this R-phrase see section 4.2.3.3 for substances and Annex V, Part A.3, toDirective 1999/45/EC for preparations.

R64 May cause harm to breastfed babies

For substances and preparations which are absorbed by women and may interfere with lactation orwhich may be present (including metabolites) in breast milk in amounts sufficient to cause concern forthe health of a breastfed child.

21.8.2001 L 225/281Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
116

For comments on the use of this R-phrase see section 4.2.3.3 for substances and Annex V, Part A.4, toDirective 1999/45/EC for preparations.

R66 Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking

For substances and preparations which may cause concern as a result of skin dryness, flaking or crackingbut which do not meet the criteria for R38 based on either:

� practical observation after normal handling and use, or

� relevant evidence concerning their predicted effects on the skin.

See also sections 1.6 and 1.7.

R67 Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness

For volatile substances and preparations containing such substances which cause clear symptoms ofcentral nervous system depression by inhalation and which are not already classified with respect toacute inhalation toxicity (R20, R23, R26 , R68/20, R39/23 or R39/26).

The following evidence may be used:

(a) data from animal studies showing clear signs of CNS depression such as narcotic effects, lethargy,lack of coordination (including loss of righting reflex) and ataxia either:

� at concentrations/exposure times not exceeding 20 mg/l/4h or,

� for which the ratio of the effect concentration at Ä 4 h to the saturated vapour concentration(SVC) at 20 °C is Ä 1/10;

(b) practical experience in humans (e.g. narcosis, drowsiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack ofcoordination, vertigo) from well documented reports under comparable exposure conditions to theeffects specified above for animals.

See also sections 1.6 and 1.7.

For other supplementary risk phrases, see section 2.2.6.

4. CLASSIFICATION ON THE BASIS OF SPECIFIC EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH

4.1. Introduction

4.1.1. This chapter sets out the procedure for the classification of substances which may have the effects mentionedbelow. For preparations see section 4.2.4.

4.1.2. If a manufacturer, distributor or importer has information available which indicates that a substance should beclassified and labelled in accordance with the criteria given in section 4.2.1, 4.2.2 or 4.2.3, he shallprovisionally label the substance in accordance with these criteria, on the basis of the assessment of theevidence by a competent person.

4.1.3. The manufacturer, distributor or importer shall submit as soon as possible a document summarising allrelevant information to one Member State in which the substance is placed on the market. Relevantinformation in this context comprises in particular all available published and unpublished informationrequired for appropriate classification of the substance in question, on the basis of the intrinsic propertiesaccording to the categories laid down in Article 2(2) and in accordance with the criteria in this Annex. Thesubmitted summary document should include a bibliography containing all relevant references, including anyrelevant unpublished data.

4.1.4. Furthermore, a manufacturer, distributor or importer who has new data which are relevant to theclassification and labelling of a substance in accordance with the criteria given in section 4.2.1, 4.2.2 or 4.2.3,shall submit this data as soon as possible to one Member State in which the substance is placed on themarket.

L 225/282 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
117

4.1.5. To obtain as quickly as possible a harmonised classification for the Community by the procedure defined inArticle 28 of this Directive, Member States which have relevant information available justifying theclassification of a substance in one of these categories, whether submitted by the manufacturer or not, shouldforward such information together with suggestions for classification and labelling, to the Commission assoon as possible.

The Commission will forward to the other Member States the classification and labelling proposal that itreceives. Any Member State may ask the Commission for the information it has received.

Any Member State which has good reason to believe that the suggested classification and labelling isinappropriate as far as the carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive toxicity effects are concerned shall notifythe Commission thereof.

4.2. Criteria for classification, indication of danger, choice of risk phrases

4.2.1. Carcinogenic substances

For the purpose of classification and labelling, and having regard to the current state of knowledge, suchsubstances are divided into three categories:

Category 1

Substances known to be carcinogenic to man. There is sufficient evidence to establish a causal associationbetween human exposure to a substance and the development of cancer.

Category 2

Substances which should be regarded as if they are carcinogenic to man. There is sufficient evidence toprovide a strong presumption that human exposure to a substance may result in the development of cancer,generally on the basis of:

� appropriate long-term animal studies,

� other relevant information.

Category 3

Substances which cause concern for man owing to possible carcinogenic effects but in respect of which theavailable information is not adequate for making a satisfactory assessment. There is some evidence fromappropriate animal studies, but this is insufficient to place the substance in category 2.

4.2.1.1. The following symbols and specific risk phrases apply:

Categories 1 and 2:

Substances classified carcinogenic category 1 or 2 shall be assigned the symbol �T� and the risk phrase

R45 May cause cancer

However, substances and preparations which present a carcinogenic risk only when inhaled, for example, asdust, vapour or fumes, (other routes of exposure e.g. by swallowing or in contact with skin do not presentany carcinogenic risk), shall be assigned the symbol �T� and the risk phrase

R49 May cause cancer by inhalation

Categories 3:

Substances classified as carcinogenic category 3 shall be assigned the symbol �Xn� and the risk phrase

R40 Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect

21.8.2001 L 225/283Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
118
europia europia

4.2.1.2. Comments regarding the categorisation of carcinogenic substances

The placing of a substance into category 1 is done on the basis of epidemiological data; placing intocategories 2 and 3 is based primarily on animal experiments.

For classification as a category 2 carcinogen either positive results in two animal species should be availableor clear positive evidence in one species, together with supporting evidence such as genotoxicity data,metabolic or biochemical studies, induction of benign tumours, structural relationship with other knowncarcinogens, or data from epidemiological studies suggesting an association.

Category 3 actually comprises 2 subcategories:

(a) substances which are well investigated but for which the evidence of a tumour-inducing effect isinsufficient for classification in category 2. Additional experiments would not be expected to yield furtherrelevant information with respect to classification;

(b) substances which are insufficiently investigated. The available date are inadequate, but they raise concernfor man. This classification is provisional; further experiments are necessary before a final decision can bemade.

For a distinction between categories 2 and 3 the arguments listed below are relevant which reduce thesignificance of experimental tumour induction in view of possible human exposure. These arguments,especially in combination, would lead in most cases to classification in category 3, even though tumours havebeen induced in animals:

� carcinogenic effects only at very high dose levels exceeding the �maximal tolerated dose�. The maximaltolerated dose is characterised by toxic effects which, although not yet reducing lifespan, go along withphysical changes such as about 10 % retardation in weight gain,

� appearance of tumours, especially at high dose levels, only in particular organs of certain species knownto be susceptible to a high spontaneous tumour formation,

� appearance of tumours, only at the site of application, in very sensitive test systems (e.g. i.p. or s.c.application of certain locally active compounds), if the particular target is not relevant to man,

� lack of genotoxicity in short-term tests in vivo and in vitro,

� existence of a secondary mechanism of action with the implication of a practical threshold above acertain dose level (e.g., hormonal effects on target organs or on mechanisms of physiological regulation,chronic stimulation of cell proliferation),

� existence of a species-specific mechanism of tumour formation (e.g. by specific metabolic pathways)irrelevant for man.

For a distinction between category 3 and no classification arguments are relevant which exclude a concern forman:

� a substance should not be classified in any of the categories if the mechanism of experimental tumourformation is clearly identified, with good evidence that this process cannot be extrapolated to man,

� if the only available tumour data are liver tumours in certain sensitive strains of mice, without any othersupplementary evidence, the substance may not be classified in any of the categories,

� particular attention should be paid to cases where the only available tumour data are the occurrence ofneoplasms at sites and in strains where they are well known to occur spontaneously with a highincidence.

4.2.2. Mutagenic substances

4.2.2.1. For the purposes of classification and labelling, and having regard to the current state of knowledge, suchsubstances are divided into three categories:

L 225/284 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
119

Category 1

Substances known to be mutagenic to man.

There is sufficient evidence to establish a causal association between human exposure to a substance andheritable genetic damage.

Category 2

Substances which should be regarded as if they are mutagenic to man.

There is sufficient evidence to provide a strong presumption that human exposure to the substance may resultin the development of heritable genetic damage, generally on the basis of:

� appropriate animal studies,

� other relevant information.

Category 3

Substances which cause concern for man owing to possible mutagenic effects. There is evidence fromappropriate mutagenicity studies, but this is insufficient to place the substance in category 2.

4.2.2.2. The following symbols and specific risk phrases apply:

Categories 1 and 2:

Substances classified as mutagenic category 1 or 2 shall be assigned the symbol �T� and the risk phrase

R46 May cause heritable genetic damage

Categories 3:

Substances classified as mutagenic category 3 shall be assigned the symbol �Xn� and the risk phrase

R68 Possible risk of irreversible effects.

4.2.2.3. Comments regarding the categorisation of mutagenic substances

Definition of terms:

A mutation is a permanent change in the amount or structure of the genetic material in an organism,resulting in a change of the phenotypic characteristics of the organism. The alterations may involve a singlegene, a block of genes, or a whole chromosome. Effects involving single genes may be a consequence ofeffects on single DNA bases (point mutations) or of large changes, including deletions, within the gene. Effectson whole chromosomes may involve structural or numerical changes. A mutation in the germ cells in sexuallyreproducing organisms may be transmitted to the offspring. A mutagen is an agent that gives rise to anenhanced occurrence of mutations.

It should be noted that substances are classified as mutagens with specific reference to inherited geneticdamage. However, the type of results leading to classification of chemicals in category 3: �induction ofgenetically relevant events in somatic cells� is generally also regarded as an alert for possible carcinogenicactivity.

Method development for mutagenicity testing is an ongoing process. For many new tests no standardisedprotocols and evaluation criteria are presently available. For the evaluation of mutagenicity data the quality ofthe test performance and the degree of validation of the test method have to be considered.

Category 1

To place a substance in category 1, positive evidence from human mutation epidemiology studies will beneeded. Examples of such substances are not known to date. It is recognised that it is extremely difficult to

21.8.2001 L 225/285Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
120

obtain reliable information from studies on the incidence of mutations in human populations, or on possibleincreases in their frequencies.

Category 2

To place a substance in category 2, positive results are needed from assays showing (a) mutagenic effects, or(b) other cellular interactions relevant to mutagenicity, in germ cells of mammals in vivo, or (c) mutageniceffects in somatic cells of mammals in vivo in combination with clear evidence that the substance or a relevantmetabolite reaches the germ cells.

With respect to placement in category 2, at present the following methods are appropriate:

2(a) In vivo germ cell mutagenicity assays:

� specific locus mutation test,

� heritable translocation test,

� dominant lethal mutation test.

These assays actually demonstrate the appearance of affected progeny or a defect in the developing embryo.

2(b) In vivo assays showing relevant interaction with germ cells (usually DNA):

� assays for chromosomal abnormalities, as detected by cytogenetic analysis, including aneuploidy,caused by malsegregation of chromosomes,

� test for sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs),

� test for unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS),

� assay of (covalent) binding of mutagen to germ cell DNA,

� assaying other kinds of DNA damage.

These assays provide evidence of a more or less indirect nature. Positive results in these assays wouldnormally be supported by positive results from in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity assays, in mammals or inman (see under category 3, preferably methods as under 3(a)).

2(c) In vivo assays showing mutagenic effects in somatic cells of mammals (see under 3(a)), in combinationwith toxicokinetic methods, or other methodologies capable of demonstrating that the compound or arelevant metabolite reaches the germ cells.

For 2(b) and 2(c), positive results from host-mediated assays or the demonstration of unequivocal effects in invitro assays can be considered as supporting evidence.

Category 3

To place a substance in category 3, positive results are needed in assays showing (a) mutagenic effects or (b)other cellular interaction relevant to mutagenicity, in somatic cells in mammals in vivo. The latter especiallywould normally be supported by positive results from in vitro mutagenicity assays.

For effects in somatic cells in vivo at present the following methods are appropriate:

3(a) In vivo somatic cell mutagenicity assays:

� bone marrow micronucleus test or metaphase analysis,

� metaphase analysis of peripheral lymphocytes,

� mouse coat colour spot test.

L 225/286 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
121
europia europia

3(b) In vivo somatic cell DNA interaction assays:

� test for SCEs in somatic cells,

� test for UDS in somatic cells,

� assay for the (covalent) binding of mutagen to somatic cell DNA,

� assay for DNA damage, e.g. by alkaline elution, in somatic cells.

Substances showing positive results only in one or more in vitro mutagenicity assays should normally not beclassified. Their further investigation using in vivo assays, however, is strongly indicated. In exceptional cases,e.g. for a substance showing pronounced responses in several in vitro assays, for which no relevant in vivo dataare available, and which shows resemblance to known mutagens/carcinogens, classification in category 3could be considered.

4.2.3. Substances toxic to reproduction

4.2.3.1. For the purposes of classification and labelling and having regard to the present state of knowledge, suchsubstances are divided into three categories:

Category 1

Substances known to impair fertility in humans

There is sufficient evidence to establish a causal relationship between human exposure to the substance andimpaired fertility.

Substances known to cause developmental toxicity in humans

There is sufficient evidence to establish a causal relationship between human exposure to the substance andsubsequent developmental toxic effects in the progeny.

Category 2

Substances which should be regarded as if they impair fertility in humans

There is sufficient evidence to provide a strong presumption that human exposure to the substance may resultin impaired fertility on the basis of:

� clear evidence in animal studies of impaired fertility in the absence of toxic effects, or, evidence ofimpaired fertility occurring at around the same dose levels as other toxic effects but which is not asecondary non-specific consequence of the other toxic effects,

� other relevant information.

Substances which should be regarded as if they cause developmental toxicity to humans

There is sufficient evidence to provide a strong presumption that human exposure to the substance may resultin developmental toxicity, generally on the basis of:

� clear results in appropriate animal studies where effects have been observed in the absence of signs ofmarked maternal toxicity, or at around the same dose levels as other toxic effects but which are not asecondary non-specific consequence of the other toxic effects,

� other relevant information.

21.8.2001 L 225/287Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

122

Category 3

Substances which cause concern for human fertility

Generally on the basis of:

� results in appropriate animal studies which provide sufficient evidence to cause a strong suspicion ofimpaired fertility in the absence of toxic effects, or evidence of impaired fertility occuring at around thesame dose levels as other toxic effects, but which is not a secondary non-specific consequence of theother toxic effects, but where the evidence is insufficient to place the substance in category 2,

� other relevant information.

Substances which cause concern for humans owing to possible developmental toxic effects

Generally on the basis of:

� results in appropriate animal studies which provide sufficient evidence to cause a strong suspicion ofdevelopmental toxicity in the absence of signs of marked maternal toxicity, or at around the same doselevels as other toxic effects but which are not a secondary non-specific consequence of the other toxiceffects, but where the evidence is insufficient to place the substance in category 2,

� other relevant information.

4.2.3.3. Comments regarding the categorisation of substances toxic to reproduction

Reproductive toxicity includes impairment of male and female reproductive functions or capacity and theinduction of non-inheritable harmful effects on the progeny. This may be classified under two main headingsof 1. Effects on male or female fertility; 2. Developmental toxicity.

1 Effects on male or female fertility, includes adverse effects on libido, sexual behaviour, any aspect ofspermatogenesis or oogenesis, or on hormonal activity or physiological response which would interferewith the capacity to fertilise, fertilisation itself or the development of the fertilised ovum up to andincluding implantation.

2 Developmental toxicity, is taken in its widest sense to include any effect interfering with normaldevelopment, both before and after birth. It includes effects induced or manifested prenatally as well asthose manifested postnatally. This includes embrytoxic/fetotoxic effects such as reduced body weight,growth and developmental retardation, organ toxicity, death, abortion, structural defects (teratogeniceffects), functional defects, peri-postnatal defects, and impaired postnatal mental or physical developmentup to and including normal pubertal development.

Classification of chemicals as toxic to reproduction is intended to be used for chemicals which have anintrinsic or specific property to produce such toxic effects. Chemicals should not be classified as toxic toreproduction where such effects are solely produced as a non-specific secondary consequence of other toxiceffects. Chemicals of most concern are those which are toxic to reproduction at exposure levels which do notproduce other signs of toxicity.

The placing of a compound in category 1 for effects on fertility and/or developmental toxicity is done on thebasis of epidemiological data. Placing in categories 2 or 3 is done primarily on the basis of animal data. Datafrom in vitro studies, or studies on avian eggs, are regarded as �supportive evidence� and would onlyexceptionally lead to classification in the absence of in vivo data.

In common with most other types of toxic effect, substances demonstrating reproductive toxicity will beexpected to have a threshold below which adverse effects would not be demonstrated. Even when clear effectshave been demonstrated in animal studies the relevance for humans may be doubtful because of the dosesadministered, for example, where effects have been demonstrated only at high doses, or where markedtoxicokinetic differences exist, or the route of administration is inappropriate. For these or similar reasons itmay be that classification in category 3, or even no classification, will be warranted.

Annex V to the Directive specifies a limit test in the case of substances of low toxicity. If a dose level of atleast 1 000 mg/kg orally produces no evidence of effects toxic to reproduction, studies at other dose levelsmay not be considered necessary. If data are available from studies carried out with doses higher than theabove limit dose, this data must be evaluated together with other relevant data. Under normal circumstances itis considered that effects seen only at doses in excess of the limit dose would not necessarily lead toclassification as �Toxic to reproduction�.

EFFECTS ON FERTILITY

For the classification of a substance in category 2 for impaired fertility, there should normally be clearevidence in one animal species, with supporting evidence on mechanism of action or site of action, orchemical relationship to other known anti-fertility agents or other information from humans which wouldlead to the conclusion that effects would be likely to be seen in humans. Where there are studies in only onespecies without other relevant supporting evidence then classification in category 3 may be appropriate.

21.8.2001 L 225/289Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
124

Since impaired fertility may occur as a non-specific accompaniment to severe generalised toxicity or wherethere is severe inanition, classification in category 2 should only be made where there is evidence that there issome degree of specificity of toxicity for the reproductive system. If it was demonstrated that impaired fertilityin animal studies was due to failure to mate, then for classification in category 2, it would normally benecessary to have evidence on the mechanism of action in order to interpret whether any adverse effect suchas alteration in pattern of hormonal release would be likely to occur in humans.

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY

For classification in category 2 there should be clear evidence of adverse effects in well conducted studies inone or more species. Since adverse effects in pregnancy or postnatally may result as a secondary consequenceof maternal toxicity, reduced food or water intake, maternal stress, lack of maternal care, specific dietarydeficiencies, poor animal husbandry, intercurrent infections, and so on, it is important that the effectsobserved should occur in well conducted studies and at dose levels which are not associated with markedmaternal toxicity. The route of exposure is also important. In particular, the injection of irritant materialintraperitoneally may result in local damage to the uterus and its contents, and the results of such studiesmust be interpreted with caution and on their own would not normally lead to classification.

Classification in category 3 is based on similar criteria as for category 2 but may be used where theexperimental design has deficiencies which make the conclusions less convincing, or where the possibility thatthe effects may have been due to non-specific influences such as generalised toxicity cannot be excluded.

In general, classification in category 3 or no category would be assigned on an ad hoc basis where the onlyeffects recorded are small changes in the incidences of spontaneous defects, small changes in the proportionsof common variants such as are observed in skeletal examinations, or small differences in postnataldevelopmental assessments.

Effects during lactation

Substances which are classified as toxic to reproduction and which also cause concern due to their effects onlactation should in addition be labelled with R64 (see criteria in section 3.2.8).

For the purpose of classification, toxic effects on offspring resulting only from exposure via the breast milk, ortoxic effects resulting from direct exposure of children will not be regarded as �Toxic to reproduction�, unlesssuch effects result in impaired development of the offspring.

Substances which are not classified as toxic to reproduction but which cause concern due to toxicity whentransferred to the baby during the period of lactation should be labelled with R64 (see criteria in section3.2.8). This R-phrase may also be appropriate for substances which affect the quantity or quality of the milk.

R64 would normally be assigned on the basis of:

(a) toxicokinetic studies that would indicate the likelihood that the substance would be present in potentiallytoxic levels in breast milk; and/or

(b) on the basis of results of one or two generation studies in animals which indicate the presence of adverseeffects on the offspring due to transfer in the milk; and/or

(c) on the basis of evidence in humans indicating a risk to babies during the lactational period.

Substances which are known to accumulate in the body and which subsequently may be released into milkduring lactation may be labelled with R33 and R64.

4.2.4. Procedure for the classification of preparations concerning specific effects on health

If a preparation contains one or more substances classified with respect to the criteria laid out above, it mustbe classified according to the criteria referred to in Annex II, Part A.7-9 and Part B.6, to Directive 1999/45/EC(the concentration limits are either in Annex I to this Directive, or in Annex II, Part B.6, to Directive1999/45/EC where the substance or substances under consideration do not appear in Annex I or appear in itwithout concentration limits).

5. CLASSIFICATION ON THE BASIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

5.1. Introduction

The primary objective of classifying substances and preparations dangerous for the environment is to alert theuser to the hazards these substances and preparations present to ecosystems. Although the present criteriarefer to aquatic ecosystems it is recognised that certain substances and preparations may simultaneously oralternatively affect other ecosystems whose constituents may range from soil microflora and microfauna toprimates.

The criteria set out below follow directly from the test methods set out in Annex V in so far as they arementioned. The test methods required for the �base set� referred to in Annex VII are limited and theinformation derived from them may be insufficient for an appropriate classification. Classification may requireadditional data derived from level 1 (Annex VIII) or other equivalent studies. Furthermore, classified substancesmay be subject to review in the light of other new data.

For the purposes of classification and labelling and having regard to the current state of knowledge suchsubstances and preparations are divided into two groups according to their acute and/or long-term effects inaquatic systems or their acute and/or long-term effects in non-aquatic systems.

5.1.1. The classification of substances is usually made on the basis of experimental data for acute aquatic toxicity,degradation, and log Pow (or BCF if available).

5.1.2. The classification of preparations shall normally be carried out on the basis of a conventional method referredto in Article 7 of and Annex III, Parts A and B, to Directive 1999/45/EC. In this case, the classification isbased on the individual concentration limits

� in Annex I to this Directive

� or in Annex III, Part B, to Directive 1999/45/EC where the substance or substances do not appear inAnnex I to this Directive or appear in it without concentration limits.

5.1.3. Normally, the classification of a preparation is made on the basis of a conventional method. However, for thedetermination of the acute aquatic toxicity, there may be cases for which it is appropriate to carry out testson the preparation. The result of these tests on the preparation may only modify the classification concerningacute aquatic toxicity which would have been obtained by the application of a conventional method. If suchtests are chosen by the person responsible for the placing on the market, it must be ensured that the qualitycriteria of the test methods in Part C of Annex V to this Directive have been complied with. Furthermore, thetests are to be carried out on all three groups of species in conformity with the criteria in this Annex (algae,daphnia and fish), unless the highest hazard classification relating to acute aquatic toxicity has been assignedto the preparation after testing on one of the species or a test result was already available before Directive1999/45/EC entered into force.

5.2. Criteria for classification, indication of danger, choice of risk phrases

The classification criteria for substances in section 5.2.1 only apply to preparations where they have beentested in accordance with 5.1.3.

21.8.2001 L 225/291Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
126

5.2.1. Aquatic environment

5.2.1.1. Substances shall be classified as dangerous for the environment and assigned the symbol �N� and theappropriate indication of danger, and assigned risk phrases in accordance with the following criteria:

R50 Very toxic to aquatic organisms, and

R53 May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment

Acute toxicity: 96 h LC50 (for fish) Ä 1 mg/l

or 48 h EC50 (for daphnia) Ä 1 mg/l

or 72 h IC50 (for algae) Ä 1 mg/l

and:

� the substance is not readily degradable, or

� the log Pow (log octanol/water partition coefficient) Å 3,0 (unless the experimentally determined BCFÄ 100).

R50 Very toxic to aquatic organisms

Acute toxicity: 96 h LC50 (for fish) Ä 1 mg/l

or 48 h EC50 (for daphnia) Ä 1 mg/l

or 72 h IC50 (for algae) Ä 1 mg/l

R51 Toxic to aquatic organisms, and

R53 May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment

Acute toxicity: 96 h LC50 (for fish) 1 mg/l < LC50 Ä 10 mg/l

or 48 h EC50 (for daphnia) 1 mg/l < EC50 Ä 10 mg/l

or 72 h IC50 (for algae) 1 mg/l < IC50 Ä 10 mg/l

and:

� the substance is not readily degradable, or

� the log Pow Å 3,0 (unless the experimentally determined BCF Ä 100).

5.2.1.2. Substances shall be classified as dangerous for the environment in accordance with the criteria set out below.Risk phrases shall also be assigned in accordance with the following criteria

R52 Harmful to aquatic organisms, and

R53 May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment

Acute toxicity: 96 h LC50 (for fish) 10 mg/l < LC50 Ä 100 mg/l

or 48 h EC50 (for daphnia) 10 mg/l < EC50 Ä 100 mg/l

or 72 h IC50 (for algae) 10 mg/l < IC50 Ä 100 mg/l

L 225/292 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia

and:

the substance is not readily degradable.

This criterion applies unless there exists additional scientific evidence concerning degradation and/or toxicitysufficient to provide an adequate assurance that neither the substance nor its degradation products willconstitute a potential long-term and/or delayed danger to the aquatic environment. Such additional scientificevidence should normally be based on the studies required at level 1 (Annex VIII), or studies of equivalentvalue, and could include:

(i) a proven potential to degrade rapidly in the aquatic environment;

(ii) an absence of chronic toxicity effects at a concentration of 1,0 mg/litre, e.g. a no-observed effectconcentration of greater than 1,0 mg/litre determined in a prolonged toxicity study with fish or daphnia.

R52 Harmful to aquatic organisms

Substances not falling under the criteria listed above in this chapter, but which on the basis of the availableevidence concerning their toxicity may nevertheless present a danger to the structure and/or functioning ofaquatic ecosystems.

R53 May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment

Substances not falling under the criteria listed above in this chapter, but which, on the basis of the availableevidence concerning their persistence, potential to accumulate, and predicted or observed environmental fateand behaviour may nevertheless present a long-term and/or delayed danger to the structure and/orfunctioning of aquatic ecosystems.

For example, poorly water-soluble substances, i.e. substances with a solubility of less than 1 mg/l will becovered by this criterion if:

(a) they are not readily degradable; and

(b) the log Pow Å 3,0 (unless the experimentally determined BCF Ä 100).

This criterion applies to substances unless there exists additional scientific evidence concerning degradationand/or toxicity sufficient to provide an adequate assurance that neither the substance nor its degradationproducts will constitute a potential long-term and/or delayed danger to the aquatic environment.

Such additional scientific evidence should normally be based on the studies required at level 1 (Annex VIII), orstudies of equivalent value, and could include

(i) a proven potential to degrade rapidly in the aquatic environment;

(ii) an absence of chronic toxicity effects at the solubility limit e.g. a no-observed effect concentration ofgreater than the solubility limit determined in a prolonged toxicity study with fish or daphnia.

5.2.1.3. Comments on the determination of IC50 for algae and of degradability

� where it can be demonstrated in the case of highly coloured substances that algal growth is inhibitedsolely as a result of a reduction in light intensity, then the 72h IC50 for algae should not be used as abasis for classification,

� substances are considered readily degradable if the following criteria hold true.

(a) if in 28-day biodegradation studies the following levels of degradation are achieved

� in tests based upon dissolved organic carbon: 70 %,

� in tests based upon oxygen depletion or carbon dioxide generation: 60 % of the theoreticalmaxima.

These levels of biodegradation must be achieved within 10 days of the start of degradation, whichpoint is taken as the time when 10 % of the substance has been degraded; or

21.8.2001 L 225/293Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
128

(b) if in those cases where only COD and BOD5 data are available when the ratio of BOD5/COD isgreater than or equal to 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 of > 70 % within a 28-day period.

5.2.2. Non-aquatic environment

5.2.2.1. Substances and preparations shall be classified as dangerous for the environment and assigned the symbol �N�and the appropriate indication of danger, and assigned risk phrases in accordance with the following criteria:

R54 Toxic to flora

R55 Toxic to fauna

R56 Toxic to soil organisms

R57 Toxic to bees

R58 May cause long-term adverse effects in the environment

Substances and preparations which on the basis of the available evidence concerning their toxicity,persistence, potential to accumulate and predicted or observed environmental fate and behaviour may presenta danger, immediate or long-term and/or delayed, to the structure and/or functioning of natural ecosystemsother than those covered under 5.2.1. Detailed criteria will be elaborated later.

5.2.2.2. Substances and preparations shall be classified as dangerous for the environment, and assigned the symbol �N�and the appropriate indication of danger, where applicable, and assigned risk phrases in accordance with thefollowing criteria:

R59 Dangerous for the ozone layer

Substances which on the basis of the available evidence concerning their properties and their predictedor observed environmental fate and behaviour may present a danger to the structure and/or thefunctioning of the stratospheric ozone layer. This includes the substances which are listed in Annex I toCouncil Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (OJ L 244,29.9.2000, p.1) and its subsequent amendments.

Preparations shall be classified on the basis of a conventional method referred to in Article 7 of andAnnex III, Parts A and B, to Directive 1999/45/EC.

6. CHOICE OF SAFETY ADVICE PHRASES

6.1. Introduction

Safety advice phrases (S-phrases) shall be assigned to dangerous substances and preparations in accordancewith the following general criteria. In addition, for certain preparations, the safety advice listed in Annex V toDirective 1999/45/EC is mandatory.

8. SPECIAL CASES: SUBSTANCES

8.1. Mobile gas cylinders

For mobile gas cylinders the requirements concerning labelling are considered to be satisfied when they are inagreement with Article 23 or Article 24(6)(b).

However, by way of derogation from Article 24(1) and (2), one of the following alternatives can be used forgas cylinders with a water capacity of less than or equal to 150 litres:

� the format and dimensions of the label can follow the prescriptions of the ISO Standard ISO/DP 7225(1994 edition) relating to �Gas cylinders � Precautionary labels�,

� the information specified in Article 23(2) may be provided on a durable information disc or label heldcaptive on the cylinder.

8.2. Gas containers intended for propane, butane or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

These substances are classified in Annex I. Although classified in accordance with Article 2, they do notpresent a danger to human health when they are placed on the market in closed refillable cylinders or innon-refillable cartridges within the scope of EN 417 as fuel gases which are only released for combustion (EN417, September 1992 edition, relating to �Non-refillable metallic gas cartridges for liquefied petroleum gases,with or without a valve, for use with portable appliances; construction, inspection, testing and marking�).

These cylinders or cartridges must be labelled with the appropriate symbol and the R- and S-phrasesconcerning flammability. No information concerning the effects on human health is required on the label.However, the information concerning effects on human health which should have appeared on the label shallbe transmitted to the professional user by the person responsible for placing the substance on the market in

21.8.2001 L 225/309Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

the format foreseen in Article 27 of the Directive. For the consumer, sufficient information shall betransmitted to enable them to take all necessary measures for health and safety as foreseen in Article 1(3) ofDirective 91/155/EEC, as amended by Directive 93/112/EEC.

8.3. Metals in massive form

These substances are classified in Annex I or shall be classified in accordance with Article 6. However, someof these substances, although classified in accordance with Article 2 do not present a danger to human healthby inhalation, ingestion or contact with skin or to the aquatic environment in the form in which they areplaced on the market. Such substances do not require a label according to Article 23. However, all theinformation which should have appeared on the label shall be transmitted to the user by the personresponsible for placing the metal on the market, in a format foreseen in Article 27.

8.4. Substances classified with R65

Substances classified as harmful on the basis of an aspiration hazard need not be labelled as harmful with R65when placed on the market in aerosol containers or in containers fitted with a sealed spray attachment.

9. SPECIAL CASES: PREPARATIONS

9.1. Gaseous preparations (gas mixtures)

For gaseous preparations, consideration must be given to:

� the evaluation of the physico-chemical properties,

� the evaluation of health hazards,

� the evaluation of the environmental hazards.

9.1.1. Evaluation of physico-chemical properties

9.1.1.1. Flammability

The flammable properties of these preparations are determined in accordance with Article 5 of Directive1999/45/EC according to the methods specified in Part A of Annex V to this Directive.

These preparations will be classified according to the results of the tests carried out and with respect to thecriteria of Annex V and to the criteria of the labelling guide.

However, by derogation, in the case where gaseous preparations are produced to order in small amounts, theflammability of these gaseous mixtures can be evaluated by the following calculation method:

the expression of the gaseous mixture

A1F1 + � + AiFi + � AnFn + B1I1 + � + BiIi + � BpIp

where: Ai and Bi are the molar fractions

Fi flammable gas

Ii inert gas

n number of flammable gases

p number of inert gases

can be transformed in a form where all the Ii (inert gases) are expressed by a nitrogen equivalent using acoefficient Ki and where the equivalent content of inflammable gas A¡i is expressed as follows:

A¡i = Ai × (100 / (Ai + KiBi))

L 225/310 21.8.2001Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
145

By using the value of the maximum content of flammable gas which, in a mixture with nitrogen, gives acomposition which is not flammable in air (Tci), the following expression can be obtained:

Ri A¡i / Tci Ä 1

The gas mixture is flammable if the value of the above expression is greater than one. The preparation isclassified extremely flammable and, the phrase R12 is assigned.

Coefficients of equivalency (Ki)

The values of the coefficients of equivalency Ki, between the inert gases and nitrogen and the values of themaximum contents of flammable gas (Tci) may be found in Tables 1 and 2 of the ISO Standard ISO 10156edition 15.12.1990 (new: 1996 edition) relating to �Gases and gas mixtures � Determination of fire potentialand oxidising ability for the selection of cylinder valve outlets�.

Maximum content of flammable gas (Tci)

The value of the maximum content of flammable gas (Tci) may be found in Table 2 of the ISO Standard ISO10156 edition 15.12.1990 (new: 1996 edition) relating to �Gases and gas mixtures � Determination of firepotential and oxidising ability for the selection of cylinder valve outlets�.

When a Tci value for a flammable gas does not appear in the above standard, the corresponding lowerexplosivity limit (LEL) will be used. If no LEL value exists, the value of Tci will be set at 1 % by volume.

Remarks:

� the expression above can be used to allow an appropriate labelling of gaseous preparations, however, itshould not be regarded as a method for replacing experimentation for the determination of technicalsafety parameters,

� furthermore, this expression gives no information as to whether a mixture containing oxidising gases canbe prepared safely. When estimating flammability these oxidising gases are not taken into account,

� the expression above will give reliable results only if the flammable gases do not influence each other asfar as their flammability is concerned. This has to be considered, e.g. with halogenated hydrocarbons.

9.1.1.2. Oxidising properties

Given the fact that Annex V to this Directive does not contain a method to determine the oxidising propertiesof gaseous mixtures, the evaluation of these properties must be realised according to the following estimationmethod.

The principle of the method is comparison of the oxidising potential of gases in a mixture with that of theoxidising potential of oxygen in air. The concentrations of gases in the mixture are expressed in % vol.

It is considered that the gas mixture is as oxidant as or more oxidant than air, if the following condition isverified:

Ri xiCi Å 21

where: xi is the concentration of gas i in % vol,

Ci is the coefficient of oxygen equivalency.

In this case, the preparation is classified as oxidising and the phrase R8 will be assigned.

Coefficients of equivalency between oxidising gases and oxygen

21.8.2001 L 225/311Official Journal of the European CommunitiesEN

europia europia
146

The coefficients used in the calculation to determine the oxidising capacity of certain gases in a mixture withrespect to the oxidising capacity of oxygen in air, listed under 5.2 in the ISO Standard ISO 10156 edition15.12.1990 (new: 1996 edition) relating to �Gases and gas mixtures � Determination of fire potential andoxidising ability for the selection of cylinder valve outlets�, are the following.

O2 1

N2O 0,6

When no value for the Ci coefficient exists for a gas in the cited standard a value of 40 is attributed to thiscoefficient.

9.1.2. Labelling

For mobile gas containers the requirements concerning labelling are considered to be satisfied when they arein agreement with Article 11(6)(b) of Directive 1999/45/EC.

However, by way of derogation from Article 11(1) and (2), for gas containers with a water capacity of lessthan or equal to 150 litres, the format and dimensions of the label can follow the prescriptions of the ISOStandard 7225 (1994 edition) relating to �Gas cylinders � Precautionary labels�. In this case, the label canbear the generic name or industrial/commercial name of the preparation provided that the dangerouscomponent substances of the preparation are shown on the body of the gas cylinder in a clear and indelibleway.

The information specified in Article 10 may be provided on a durable information disc or label held captiveon the containers.

9.2. Gas containers intended for preparations containing stenched propane, butane or liquefied petroleumgas (LPG)

Propane, butane and liquefied petroleum gas are classified in Annex I. Although preparations containing thesesubstances are classified in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Directive 1999/45/EC, they do not presenta danger to human health when they are placed on the market in closed refillable cylinders or non-refillablecartridges within the scope on EN 417 as fuel gases which are only released for combustion (EN 417,September 1992 edition, relating to �Non-refillable metallic gas cartridges for liquefied petroleum gases, withor without a valve, for use with portable appliances; construction, inspection, testing and marking�).

These cylinders and cartridges must be labelled with the appropriate symbol and the R- and S-phrasesconcerning flammability. No information concerning the effects on human health is required on the label.However, the information concerning effects on human health which should have appeared on the label shallbe transmitted to the professional user by the person responsible for placing the substance on the market inthe format foreseen in Article 14 of Directive 1999/45/EC. For the consumer, sufficient information shall betransmitted to enable them to take all necessary measures for health and safety as foreseen in Article 1(3) ofDirective 91/155/EEC.

9.3. Alloys, preparations containing polymers, preparations containing elastomers

These preparations shall be classified according to the requirements of Articles 5, 6 and 7 and labelledaccording to the requirements of Article 10 of Directive 1999/45/EC.

However some of these preparations although classified in accordance with Articles 6 and 7 do not present adanger to human health by inhalation, ingestion or contact with the skin or to the aquatic environment in theform in which they are placed on the market. Such preparations do not require a label according to Article10 or according to Annex V.B.9. However, all the information which would have appeared on the label shallbe transmitted to the professional user by means of an information system in a format foreseen in Article 14of the abovementioned Directive.

9.4. Preparations classified with R65

Preparations classified as harmful on the basis of an aspiration hazard need not be labelled as harmful withR65 when placed on the market in aerosol containers or in containers fitted with a sealed spray attachment.

9.5. Organic peroxides

Organic peroxides combine the properties of an oxidiser and a combustible substance in one molecule: whenan organic peroxide decomposes, the oxidising part of the molecule reacts exothermically with thecombustible (oxidisable) part. For the oxidising properties the existing methods in Annex V cannot be appliedto the organic peroxides.

The following calculation method based on the presence of active oxygen must be used.

The available oxygen content (%) of an organic peroxide preparation is given by the formula:

16 × R (ni × ci/mi)

where:

ni = number of peroxygen groups per molecule of organic peroxide i

ci = concentration (mass %) of organic peroxide i

mi = molecular mass of organic peroxide i.

9.6. Additional labelling requirements for certain preparations

For certain preparations there are additional labelling requirements set out in Article 10(1)(2) of and Annex Vto Directive 1999/45/EC and Article 20 of Directive 98/8/EC.

APPENDIX 2

RATIONALE FOR ASSIGNMENTS OF R66 AND R67

INTRODUCTION

As part of the regulatory process to integrate Austria, Finland and Sweden into the EuropeanUnion (EU), a number of differences in national legislation were identified concerningclassification and labelling of dangerous chemicals. It was not possible however to resolvecompletely these issues, prior to the new countries joining the EU. The EU agreed therefore toallow the new Member States an extended consultation period on specific Accession Treatyissues.

One of the issues of concern to Sweden, was their existing legislation on the use of healthhazard labelling statements to warn about the potential for solvents to cause adverse effects onthe skin and the central nervous system. Following EU technical working group discussionsduring 1997/98, agreement was reached between Member States and a solution was included aspart of the 25th Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548EC). The 25th ATP (98/98/EC) was published on 30 December 1998 (OJ L355) and theprovisions need to be introduced into Member State legislation by July 1st 2000. Relevantsections of the Directive are reproduced in Appendix 3.

To accommodate the Swedish concerns, and additional health hazard categories, the 25th ATPintroduced two new Risk phrases as follows:

• ‘Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness and cracking’ (R66)• ‘Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizzyness’ (R67)

It is important to note that these two new risk phrases fall under the category of ‘supplementary’risk phrases. As such, application of these phrases alone does not result in the material beingclassified into one of the formal hazard categories, nor do they attract a warning symbol orindication of danger.

At the same time minor changes were made to the classification criteria for skin irritation andapplication of the risk phrase ‘Irritating to skin’ (R38).

Detailed criteria for the application of these phrases to substances and preparations were alsoagreed and included in the EU Classification guidance (Annex VI). This report considers theapplicability of these new risk phrases and criteria for the 37 generic groups of petroleumsubstances.

CLASSIFICATION

Skin Irritation

There are two aspects to the changes introduced by the 25th ATP which are relevant toclassification/labelling decisions for effects on the skin. It has been clarified that the phrase‘Irritating to skin’ (R38) now also applies to those chemicals which cause significant dermalirritation following either single or repeated skin contact. For those materials which do not meetthe criteria for R38, but never the less do cause skin dryness, flaking or cracking on repeated

report no. 01/53

151

contact, the new phrase R66 is applicable. The agreed criteria for application of R66, whichappear in Annex VI, are as follows:

‘For substances and preparations which may cause concern as a result of skin dryness,flaking or cracking but which do not meet the criteria for R38:based on either:

• practical observation after normal handling and use, or• relevant evidence concerning their predicted effects on the skin.’

The skin provides an effective natural barrier, to the penetration of chemicals. Materials whichpenetrate the skin barrier and cause a significant local, non-immunological, inflammatory,response following single or repeated dermal exposure, clearly meet the EU criteria forclassification as ‘Irritating to the Skin’ (R38). These skin reactions are characterised by significantredness (erythema) and/or swelling (oedema). More serious skin effects, involving some degreeof skin destruction, would probably meet the criteria for classification as corrosive.

Other skin reactions, which may be referred to as irritation, do not in fact involve a directinflammatory response to contact with chemicals, but can involve a variety of mechanisms. Theaction of the chemical on the skin can result for example, in increased thickness of the upperlayers - a natural adaptive response to repeated insult, removal of natural oils and fats from theskin, increased flaking or loss of the surface layers - an increase in the rate of a natural process,or an increase in the water content of the skin layers. The severity of these effects will vary,depending on the action of the chemical concerned and the degree and duration of skinexposure. All of these effects can however be described as dermatitis and at least some wouldappear to meet the criteria for application of R66.

In general, petroleum hydrocarbon substances which are of low viscosity, lower molecular weightand higher aromaticity have a greater potential to cause skin irritation, particularly if contact isrepeated or prolonged. Furthermore, their irritation potential may be enhanced by specificphysico-chemical properties (e.g., low viscosity / high lipid solubility) which promote skinpenetration and drying of the skin due to removal of natural oils (skin defatting).

Review of data available on the skin effects of petroleum hydrocarbons (CONCAWE dossiers)suggest that materials such as gasoline naphthas, kerosines and cracked gas oils have thepotential to cause inflammation of the skin following short term and/or repeated skin contact.Such effects are seen in animal studies and supported by human experience. For highermolecular weight and viscosity hydrocarbon substances the effects are less pronounced andtake longer to develop. Data available suggest that materials such as gas oils, crude oil and fueloils can be expected to cause skin dryness and cracking on repeated or prolonged contact,whereas materials such as base oils, greases, bitumen only cause such skin effects underextreme exposure conditions.

On the basis of the above, recommendations with regard to the classification and labelling ofeach petroleum substance group for skin effects are given in Annex 1.

Central Nervous System

The new Risk phrase R67 is intended to cover substances and preparations which are bothvolatile and cause concern for their potential effects on the central nervous system followingacute, short-term inhalation exposure. It is not intended to be applied to those materials whichare already classified and labelled for acute inhalation toxicity.

The agreed criteria for application of R67, which appear in Annex VI, are as follows:

report no. 01/53

152

‘For volatile substances and preparations containing such substances which cause clearsymptoms of central nervous system depression by inhalation and which are not alreadyclassified with respect to acute inhalation toxicity (R20, R23, R26, R40/20, R39/23 or R39/26).

The following evidence may be used:

(a) Data from animal studies, showing clear signs of CNS depression such asnarcotic effects, lethargy, lack of co-ordination (including loss of righting reflex) andataxia either:

- at concentrations/exposure times not exceeding 20 mg/l / 4 h or- for which the ratio of the effect concentration at < 4 h to the saturated vapour

concentration (SVC) at 20°C is < 1/10(b) Practical experience in. humans (e-g. narcosis, drowsiness, reduced alertness, loss of

reflexes, lack of co-ordination, vertigo) from well documented reports under comparableexposure conditions to the effects specified above for animals.’

From the published criteria, it is apparent that the focus for application of this phrase is on thosesubstances and preparations that are likely to give rise to significant concentrations of vapour at20°C and also cause effects on the central nervous system. In EC Directive 1999/13/EC volatileorganic compounds (VOCs) are defined as any organic compound which has a vapour pressureof 0.01 kPa or more at 20°C.Thus it is suggested that application of R67, is only applicable tothose petroleum substances which both meet the VOC criteria and are likely to cause CNSdepression at atmospheric concentrations consistent with those given in the R67 criteria. Ananalysis of the various petroleum substance groups against these criteria is as follows:

VOC

Based on vapour pressure curves for petroleum products and individual hydrocarbon species [1],it is clear that the following groups of petroleum substances meet the VOC criteria:⇒ Crude Oil (heavy crudes may not be sufficiently volatile)⇒ Petroleum Gases - highly volatile, exist as gases at ambient temperature/pressure⇒ Gasoline Naphthas⇒ Kerosines⇒ Gas oils - all groups including distillate fuels and vacuum gas oils

All other petroleum substance groups are considered to be outside the scope of the VOCdefinition and hence R67 is not applicable

It should be recognised that due to their complex composition, petroleum substances do nothave a single boiling point, hence boiling point ranges are quoted. There is also some overlapbetween the various with respect to initial and final boiling points.

Potential for CNS Effects

Data available on the potential of each of the groups which meet the VOC criteria to cause CNSeffects are considered briefly below. Details of the studies considered are shown in Appendix 2.

⇒ Crude Oil: There are no data available on the acute CNS effects of inhalation exposure tocrude oil. However crude oils do contain variable amounts of volatile hydrocarbons and maygive rise to biologically significant amounts of vapour at ambient temperature. Some heaviercrude oils may not be sufficiently volatile but in the absence of relevant vapour pressure data,it is recommended that R67 be applied as a default.

report no. 01/53

153

⇒ Petroleum Gases: Data on the acute CNS effects of petroleum gases are limited. Reviews ofanimal and human data [2-6] suggest however that acute reversible effects on the CNS canoccur at atmospheric concentrations below 20 mg/l (~10,000 ppm). Such concentrations arehigher than the lower explosive limit and are unlikely to be reached, except in exceptionalcircumstances such as wilful abuse. It is recommended that R67 does not apply topetroleum gases.

⇒ Gasoline Naphthas: Inhalation data available suggest that acute CNS effects can occur atconcentrations below 20 mg/l (vapour). Summary data on a range of gasoline naphthasamples are shown in Table 1. It is recommended that R67 be applied to this group ofpetroleum substances.

⇒ Kerosines: Acute inhalation data available for a range of kerosines and similar hydrocarbonsolvents are shown in Table 1. These data show that CNS effects do not occur at levelsbelow the saturated vapour concentration (SVC) and that the acute LC50 values are greaterthan the SVC. On the basis of these data it is suggested that kerosines are not sufficientlyvolatile to give rise to vapour concentrations which will cause CNS effects. R67 is thereforenot considered applicable.

⇒ Gas oils: The majority of gas oils have boiling points in the range 150 - 400°C, with flashpoints greater than 60°C. They are less volatile than kerosines and hence do not give rise tosufficient vapour to cause CNS effects at concentrations less than the SVC. The acuteinhalation toxicity data available indicate that exposures are predominantly in aerosol form.

Conclusion

Review of the published criteria for application of the new Risk phrases R66 and R67, togetherwith information on physical-chemical properties and the acute inhalation toxicity, indicate thatsome groups of petroleum substances will need to be assigned the new Risk phrases. Ingeneral, it is the lighter, lower molecular weight hydrocarbon materials which are likely to exhibitthe hazardous properties necessary to meet the criteria. Recommendations for application ofthese phrases are given in the Annexes which follow.

COMMON TERMS AND ACRONYMS USED IN CLASSIFICATION ANDLABELLING

HAZARD The inherently dangerous properties of a substance.

RISK The probability of the hazardous properties of a substancecausing harm to people or the environment.

CATEGORY OF DANGER A broad description of hazard.

CLASSIFICATION Precise identification of the hazards of a substance byassigning categories of danger and risk phrases using setcriteria. Examples: FLAMMABLE, CARCINOGEN (Cat. 1, 2 or3), DANGEROUS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

Note: The classification category does not necessarily appearon the label.

DANGER SYMBOL A pictogram on the label intended to draw attention to the typeof hazard associated with a substance. Examples: FLAME,SKULL & CROSSBONES, DEAD FISH/DEAD TREE. Tocommunicate these symbols where it is not practical to use thepictogram, letters such as F, T, N are used (See Table 2).These letters are often used in safety data sheets.

Note: While the pictogram appears on the label, its letterdesignation does not.

INDICATION OF DANGER A word appearing under the danger symbol on the label toenhance or clarify the symbol. Examples: HIGHLYFLAMMABLE, TOXIC.

Note: The Indication of Danger will not always appear on thelabel e.g. for a carcinogenic substance.

RISK PHRASE (R) A standard phrase which gives simple information about thehazards of a substance in normal use. Examples R43 "Maycause sensitization by skin contact.", R45 "May causecancer."

Note: Risk phrases are assigned according to Annex VI to theDSD.

SAFETY PHRASE(S) A standard phrase which gives advice on safety precautionswhich may be appropriate when using the substance.Examples: S16 "Keep away from sources of ignition - Nosmoking.", S24 "Avoid contact with skin.", S61 "Avoidrelease to the environment. Refer to specialinstructions/safety data sheet."

Note: Safety phrases are assigned according to Annex VI tothe DSD.

SUBSTANCE A chemical element or its compounds, including impuritiesand/or stabilisers. A substance may be a complex and variablemixture of related chemical compounds e.g. petroleumsubstances are complex mixtures of mainly hydrocarbons. Bydefinition any material listed in EINECS is deemed to be asubstance.

PREPARATION A blend of two or more substances.

EINECS NUMBER A 7 figure number given to chemicals listed in EINECS(European Inventory of Existing Commercial ChemicalSubstances). All petroleum substances have such numbersand the inventory also includes their names and, in mostcases, definitions which indicate the origin and chemical natureof the substance.

INDEX NUMBER A 9 figure number allocated to each substance entered in theAnnex I list of dangerous substances associated with theDangerous Substances Directive. All complex petroleumsubstances have 649 as the first three digits in their indexnumbers e.g. crude oil, or petroleum has the index number649-049-00-5.
