Comments:

1. Substances and mixtures are classified in accordance with Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008.

2. Mixtures are treated in the same way as pure substances provided they remain within concentration as determined in accordance with their properties under Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008, or in its latest adaptation to technical progress, in case that is not explicitly specified percentage or other description.

3. the requirements for the above quantities shall refer to any undertaking and/or facility under art. 103, para. 2.

The quantities to be taken into account in the implementation of Chapter 7, section I, are the maximum quantities which are present or are likely to be available at any one time at the plant/facility. Certain hazardous substances in an entity/facility may not be taken into account in the calculation of the full quantity available only if they are in quantities equal to or less than 2% of the relevant threshold for minimum quantity, and if their location across the enterprise is such that I could give rise to a major accident elsewhere in the same establishment.

4. the following rules governing the addition of dangerous substances, or categories of dangerous substances, shall apply where appropriate:

In the case of a company/facility in which characterised a dangerous substance is present in a quantity above or equal to the relevant qualifying quantities, the following rule shall be applied to determine if the plant/facility is covered by the relevant requirements of Chapter 7, section I and the Ordinance under art. 103, para. 9.

The provisions of Chapter 7, section I and the Ordinance under art. 103, para. 9 shall apply to the undertakings with a high risk potential, if the amount:

q1/QU1 + q2/QU2 + q3/QU3 + q4/QU4 + q5/QU5 + ... is greater than or equal to 1,

where qx = the quantity of dangerous substance x (or category of dangerous substances) falling within parts 1 or 2,

and QUX = the relevant threshold quantity of a hazardous substance or category x from column 3 of part 1 or part 2, column 3.

The provisions of Chapter 7, section I and the Ordinance under art. 103, para. 9 apply to enterprises with low risk potential, if the amount:

q1/QL1 + q2/QL2 + q3/QL3 + q4/QL4 + q5/QL5 + ... is greater than or equal to 1,

where qx = the quantity of dangerous substance x (or category of dangerous substances) falling within parts 1 or 2,

and QLX = the relevant threshold quantity of a hazardous substance or category x from column 2 of part 1 or part 2, column 2.


The relevant rule is used for the evaluation of health hazards, physical hazards and hazards to the environment and must be applied three times:

a) for the aggregation of the dangerous substances listed in part 2, which fall within class acute toxicity category 1, 2 or 3 (inhalation), or specific toxicity for certain organs, single exposure, Category 1, along with dangerous substances falling under section "h"-entries from H1 to H3 of part 1;

(b)) for the aggregation of the dangerous substances listed in part 2, which are explosives, flammable gases, flammable aerosols, oxidizing gases, flammable liquids, self-reactive substances and organic peroxides, mixtures, pyrophoric liquids and solids, oxidizing liquids and solids together with dangerous substances falling within section "p"-entries from P1 to the R8 of part 1;

in) for the aggregation of hazardous substances listed in part 2 which are classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment, acute hazard Category 1, chronic hazard Category 1, or chronic hazard Category 2, along with dangerous substances falling within section "e" – entries E1 and E2 from part 1.

The provisions of Chapter 7, section I, and of the Ordinance under art. 103, para. 9 shall apply where any of the amounts received in letters "a", "b" or "c", is greater than or equal to 1.

5. in the case of dangerous substances, including wastes that are not covered by Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008, but which nevertheless are present, or are likely to be available in an enterprise/facility and hold or may hold under the conditions laid down in the establishment/facility equivalent properties in terms of major-accident potential is assigned temporarily to the nearest category or referred to a dangerous substance falling within the scope of Chapter 7, section I, and of the Ordinance under art. 103, para. 9.

6. in the case of dangerous substances with properties that result in more than one classification for the purposes of Chapter 7, section I, and of the Ordinance under art. 103, para. 9 apply the lowest qualifying quantities. For the application of the rule in note 4 is t use the lowest threshold quantity for each group of categories note that 4 letters "a", "b" and "c" that meet the relevant classification.

7. Hazardous substances which fall within the class of acute toxicity, Category 3, the oral route of exposure (toxic if swallowed H301-) are included in the registration H2 acute toxicity where cannot be established nor classification acute inhalation toxicity or acute dermal toxicity, due to the lack of conclusive data on inhalation and dermal toxicity.

8. Hazard Class "explosives" shall include explosive devices (see section 2.1 of annex I to Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008). If the quantity of product contained in the explosive a substance or mixture is known, that quantity shall be considered for purposes of Chapter 7, section I, and of the Ordinance under art. 103, para. 9. If the quantity of product contained in the explosive a substance or mixture is not known, then for the purposes of Chapter 7, section I, and of the Ordinance under art. 103, para. 9 the whole device is treated as explosive.

9. Carrying out of tests for explosive properties of substances and mixtures, it is necessary only when the skriningovata procedure in accordance with Appendix 6, part 3 of the UN recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods: Manual of tests and criteria of the United Nations (Manual of tests and criteria) is an established potential for explosive properties of the substance or mixture. Additional guidance on the release of the test can be found in the description of the method and 14 of the annex to Regulation (EC) no 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 laying down test methods pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals (reach) (OJ , L 142/1 of 31 May 2008).

10. If the explosives from the subclass 1.4 are unpackaged or repackaged, they fit to R1a, unless it is shown that the danger still corresponds to the subclass 1.4, in accordance with Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008.

11.1.

11.2. To use the entry under item 11.1, you need to document that the aerosol package does not contain any flammable gas, Category 1 or 2, or flammable liquid, class 1.

12. Pursuant to paragraph 2.6.4.5 in annex I to Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008 liquids with a flashpoint above 35 ° C need not be classified in category 3, if you get negative results of prolonged test for flammability L 2, part III, section 32 of the manual of tests and criteria of the United Nations. This circumstance is not valid under special conditions, such as high temperature or pressure, and therefore such fluids are included in the entry to R5a and R5b.
