PART IICONCENTRATION LIMITS TO BE USED IN APPLYING THE CONVENTIONAL METHOD OF ASSESSING HEALTH EFFECTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH PART I OF THIS SCHEDULE WHERE NO SUCH LIMITS ARE GIVEN IN THE APPROVED SUPPLY LIST

Gaseous preparations

6.2  For gases which produce such effects and for which specific concentration limits do not yet appear in the approved supply list, concentration limits laid down in Table VIA, expressed as a volume/volume percentage, shall determine, where appropriate, the classification of the preparation.

The following symbol and risk phrases are assigned:

Carcinogenic categories 1 and 2:T; R45 or R49
Carcinogenic category 3:Xn; R40
Mutagenic categories 1 and 2:T; R46
Mutagenic category 3:Xn; R68
Toxic for reproduction fertility categories 1 and 2:T; R60
Toxic for reproduction development categories 1 and 2:T; R61
Toxic for reproduction fertility category 3:Xn; R62
Toxic for reproduction development category 3:Xn; R63

Mutagenic substances of category 1 or 2 with R46concentration ≥0.1% mutagenic R46 obligatory
Mutagenic substances of category 3 with R68(*)concentration ≥1% mutagenic R68(*) obligatory
Substances “toxic for reproduction” of category 1 or 2 with R60 (fertility)concentration ≥0.2% toxic for reproduction (fertility) R60 obligatory
Substances “toxic for reproduction” of category 3 with R62 (fertility)concentration ≥1% toxic for reproduction (fertility) R62 obligatory
