6.2 For gases which produce such effects and for which specific concentration limits do not yet appear in Table 3.2 of part 3 of Annex VI of the CLP Regulation, concentration limits laid down in Table VIA, expressed as a volume/volume percentage, shall determine, where appropriate, the classification of the preparation.
The following symbol and risk phrases are assigned:
| Carcinogenic categories 1 and 2: | T; R45 or R49 |
| Carcinogenic category 3: | Xn; R40 |
| Mutagenic categories 1 and 2: | T; R46 |
| Mutagenic category 3: | Xn R68 |
| Toxic for reproduction fertility categories 1 and 2: | T; R60 |
| Toxic for reproduction development categories 1 and 2: | T; R61 |
| Toxic for reproduction fertility category 3: | Xn; R62 |
| Toxic for reproduction development category 3: | Xn; R63 |
| Classification of the substance (gas) | Classification of the gaseous preparation | |
|---|---|---|
| Categories 1 and 2 | Category 3 | |
a In cases where the preparation is assigned R49 and R40, both R phrases shall be kept, because R40 does not distinguish between the exposure routes, whereas R49 is only assigned for the inhalation route. | ||
b R68 here refers to substances classified as mutagenic. Concentration limits for substances required to be labelled R68 but classified as harmful are given in Table IIA. | ||
| carcinogenic substances of category 1 or 2 with R45 or R49 | concentration ≥ 0.1% carcinogenic R45, R49 obligatory as appropriate | |
| carcinogenic substances of category 3 with R40 | concentration ≥ 1% carcinogenic R40 obligatory (unless already assigned R45a) | |
| mutagenic substances of category 1 or 2 with R46 | concentration ≥ 0.1% mutagenic R46 obligatory | |
| mutagenic substances of category 3 with R68b | concentration ≥ 1% mutagenic R68b obligatory (unless already assigned R46) | |
| 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 (unless already assigned R60) | |
| substances “toxic for reproduction” of category 1 or 2 with R61 (development) | concentration ≥ 0.2% toxic for reproduction (development) R61 obligatory | |
| substances “toxic for reproduction” of category 3 with R63 (development) | concentration ≥ 1% toxic for reproduction (development) R63 obligatory (unless already assigned R61) | |
