T+ with R26, R27, R28

concentration ≥ 1%

0.2% ≤ concentration <1%

0.02% ≤ concentration < 0.2%

T with R23, R24, R25

concentration ≥ 5%

0.5% ≤ concentration < 5%

Xn with R20, R21, R22

concentration ≥ 5%

The R phrases denoting risk shall be assigned to the preparation in accordance with the following criteria—

  1. i

    the label shall include one or more of the above mentioned R phrases according to the classification used,

  2. ii

    in general, the R phrases selected should be those applicable to the substance(s) present in the concentration which gives rise to the most severe classification.
