Notes to Appendix 5

Substances and mixtures shall be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67 /548/EEC and 1999 /45/EC and amending Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 No 1907/2006, OJ No 353, 31.12.2008, p. 1.

Mixtures shall be treated in the same way as pure substances, provided that they have the same characteristics (as are the case in the case of the concentration limits laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 or their last adaptation to technical progress). pure substances), unless a specific percentage composition or other description is given.

3. The quantity thresholds indicated above shall be applicable to each establishment. The quantities to be taken into account for the application of the relevant provisions of Section 8a shall be the maximum quantities which may or may be present at any time. Dangerous substances present in a holding only in quantities not exceeding 2% of the relevant quantitative threshold shall not be taken into account in the calculation of the total quantity present if they are found within a holding in one place where they cannot act as a trigger for a serious accident at another place of operation.

For the addition of quantities of dangerous substances or categories of dangerous substances, the following shall apply:

In the case of a holding in which no single dangerous substance is present in an amount equal to or greater than the relevant quantity threshold, it is necessary to assess whether the holding is covered by the relevant provisions of Section 8a, or not to apply the following addition rule:

-

Section 8a shall apply to establishments of the upper class if the sum q 1 /Q U1 + q 2 /Q U2 + q 3 /Q U3 + q 4 /Q U4 + q 5 /Q U5 + ... is greater than or equal to 1, where q X the quantity of the dangerous substance x (or dangerous substances in the same category) falling under Part 1 or part 2 of this Annex (s), and Q UX the relevant quantitative threshold for the dangerous substance or category x indicated in column 3 of Part 1 or in column 3 of Part 2.

-

Section 8a shall apply to lower-class establishments where the sum of 1 /Q L1 + q 2 /Q L2 + q 3 /Q L3 + q 4 /Q L4 + q 5 /Q L5 + ... is greater than or equal to 1, where q X the quantity of the dangerous substance x (or dangerous substances in the same category) falling under part 1 or 2 of this Annex (s), and Q LX the relevant quantitative threshold for the dangerous substance or category x indicated in Part 1, column 2 or part 2, column 2.

The addition rule is used to assess the health hazards, physical hazards and environmental hazards, and is therefore to be applied three times as follows:

a)

for the addition of dangerous substances listed in Part 2, which fall under the hazard categories "acute toxicity 1, 2 or 3 (inhalation)" or STOT SE hazard category 1, and dangerous substances listed in Part 1, section H, entries H1 to H3,

b)

for the addition of dangerous substances listed in Part 2, the explosive substances, flammable gases, flammable aerosols, flammable (oxidising) gases, flammable liquids, self-decomposing substances and mixtures, organic peroxides, self-flammable (pyrophoric) liquids and solids, flammable (oxidising) solids and liquids, and dangerous substances falling under Part 1, Section P, entries P1 to P8,

c)

for the addition of dangerous substances listed in Part 2, which fall under 'Dangerous Water-acute danger 1, chronic hazard 1 or chronic hazard 2', and dangerous substances falling under Part 1, Section E, entries E1 and E2.

The relevant provisions of Section 8a shall apply if any of the sums obtained in the case of lit. a, b or c is greater than or equal to 1.

Dangerous substances, including waste, which are not covered by Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, but which are, or may be, present in a holding and, in respect of their conditions, under the conditions laid down in the establishment. The potential for accidents of equivalent properties shall be provisionally the most similar hazard category or the most similar hazardous substance falling within the scope of the section 8a, .

6. In the case of dangerous substances with properties which give rise to more than one classification, the lowest volume thresholds shall apply. However, when applying the addition rule as set out in note 4, the lowest quantity threshold for each category of categories is given in Note 4 (a), note 4 lit. (b) and note 4 lit. c, which corresponds to the classification in question.

Dangerous substances which fall under acute toxicity, category 3, oral (H 301) fall in those cases in which neither classification in acute inhalation toxicity nor classification in acute dermal toxicity can be derived, for example because positive data for inhalation and dermal toxicity are missing, under the entry H2 acutely toxic.

(8) The risk category "explosive substances" shall include products containing explosives (see Annex I, section 2.1 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008). If the quantity of explosive substance or explosive mixture is known in the product, this quantity shall be decisive. If the quantity of explosive substance or explosive mixture is unknown in the product, the product as a whole shall be regarded as explosive.

9. The testing for explosive properties of substances and mixtures is only necessary if the screening procedure to be carried out in accordance with Annex 6, Part 3 of the recommendations of the United Nations for the transport of dangerous goods, manual on audits and criteria (United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Manual of Tests and Criteria-UN Manual of Tests and Criteria; sh. http://www.unece.org/trans/danger/danger.html) in the case of the substance or mixture of possible explosive properties.

10. Where explosive substances and mixtures of subclass 1.4 (entry P1b) are removed from their packaging or repackaged, they shall be classified under entry P1a, unless the danger is shown to be in accordance with subclass 1.4 in the sense of of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

11.1. Flammable aerosols must be classified within the meaning of Directive 75 /324/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to aerosol packagings. The categories "extremely flammable" and "flammable" for aerosols in accordance with Directive 75 /324/EEC correspond to the categories of danger " flammable aerosols, category 1 and/or category 1. 2 " of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

11.2. In order to make use of this entry, the aerosol pack must be shown to contain neither an flammable gas of category 1 or 2 nor an flammable liquid of the hazard category 1.

In accordance with Annex I, Section 2.6.4.5 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, liquids with a flashpoint above 35 ° C do not have to be classified in category 3 if the test L.2 for the determination of self-sustained combustion according to the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III Section 32 (sh. http://www.unece.org/trans/danger/danger.html), has been negative. This does not apply to changed conditions such as high temperature or high pressure, and therefore such liquids are included in this entry.
