|
|
|
|
|
|
Chemical substances and products must be assessed in respect of their quality (classifications), cf. § § 4 and 5. This Annex resides the requirements for this classification. For the purposes of this Annex, chemical substances and products of this Annex are also understood to be the plant protection products and biocidal products, unless otherwise stated in the text.
The purpose of the classification of chemical substances and products is to identify all non-resident physico-chemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties which may give rise to risks during normal handling or use. It takes account of all the possible dangers which may be exposed to normal handling and use of dangerous substances and products when they are in the form in which they are placed on the market, but not necessarily in other forms of use, such as, for example, diluted.
Criteria for the classification of substances and products are in section 2-4. The classification includes location of the staging classes, the assignment of risk phrases (R-phrases) that specify the risks to the substance or product. In addition, danger symbols and indications of danger shall be assigned, cf. Section 2-4, as well as safety phrases (S-phrases), which provide instructions for necessary precautions, cf. Section 5.
Where a substance or product is classified as hazardous, it must be labelled with the indication of the danger to protect users, the public and the environment, cf. § 13, nr. 7. Detailed rules for this labelling are listed in Annex 2, Section 1.
The classification shall reflect all the dangerous properties of a substance or product. To that end, it is necessary to take account of the criteria in each of the paragraphs 2 and 4 of paragraphs 2 to 4. For example, classification is subject to section 3.2.1.1. not that, for example, section 3.2.1.2., 3.2.1.3. or 3.2.2.
Chemical substances shall be classified on the basis of the criteria set out in 2.2. (Fire and Explosion), 3.2. (Health Danger), and 4.2. (environmental effects). The classification shall be based on all available data on the substance.
An attempt to make use of substances within the framework of this notice shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2 of the European Parliament and of the Council. 1907/2006 on the registration, assessment and approval, as well as restrictions on chemicals (REACH).
In the case of substances, the information set out in Annexes VI, VII and VIII to Regulation (EC) No 2 of the European Parliament and of the Council is required. 1907/2006 on the registration, assessment and approval of, and restrictions on chemicals (REACH), most of the necessary data for classification and labelling are available in the base set. The classification and labelling must, where necessary, be reviewed when further information is available (Annex IX and X to Regulation (EC) No 2. 1907/2006).

|
|
|
|
|
|
The criteria referred to in Section 2.2, 3.2 and 4.2 shall apply for direct use when the relevant data has been obtained by means of investigation corresponding to the indicated in Annex 12. In other cases, the available data must be evaluated by comparing the methods used and the results of studies with the methods referred to in Annex 12 and the criteria referred to in point 2.2, 3.2 and 4.2., for the purpose of determination of the appropriate classification criteria.
|
|
|
In some cases, there may be some doubt as to the criteria set out in 2.2, 3.2 and 4.2. must be used, particularly when they require the use of expert opinion. In such cases, the manufacturer or importer shall classify the substance on the basis of a competent person's evaluation of the documentation. For approval products such as plant protection products and biocidal products, the classification shall be carried out by the competent authority.
|
|
|
Where an expert opinion is based on the classification of the substance, where there is fear of the possible inconsistent application of the criteria referred to in 2.2, 3.2 and 4.2, the relevant scientific data on which it is based is due ; the communication referred to in section 7 (3). 1, to the Environmental Management Board at its request. The same procedure shall be used when information is available which may raise doubts about the accuracy of the classification of a substance in the list of hazardous substances.
|
|
|
If, for a given characteristic, there are several sets of data, the data that results in the most stringent classification shall be used unless they have been obtained on the basis of studies that are scientifically incorrect.
|
|
|
Chemical products shall be classified for the fire and explosion hazard according to the same criteria as substances (point 2.2), cf. however item 2.3. As far as plant protection products are concerned, look at the point. 2.1.

|
|
|
|
Where there is sufficient evidence in practice that the physico-chemical properties of substances and products (other than organic peroxides) differ from those to show the test methods in Annex 12, such substances and products shall be classified as appropriate ; in accordance with the possible hazard they present to persons who consort with these substances and products, or to other persons.
|
|
|
|
The criteria contained in this section apply to both substances and products. If none of the content substances of a product are to be classified according to the criteria laid down in this Title, and the producer or importer has information, indicating that it is likely that the product involves the dangers of it in this section However, it is not necessary to examine whether the product is to be classified according to the criteria laid down in this Title.
|
|
|
|
The same applies if there is scientific evidence to assume that a new risk assessment in the event of a change to the well-known composition of a product will not lead to a change in classification.

2.3.2.
|
Oxidising properties
|
|
|
|
As the directives listed in Annex 12 do not contain any method of determining the oxidizing properties of the gaseous mixers (oxidising) properties, these properties must be evaluated in accordance with the following method.

The principle of the method is based on a comparison between the oxidizing ability of the gases in a mixture and the oxidising capacity of the oxygen in air. The concentration of gases in the mixture is expressed in volume percentage.
|
|
|
|
The gases mixture are considered as oxidizing or more oxidizing than air if the following condition is met :
|
|
|
|
. i x i C i 2121
|
|
|
|
where
|
x i concentration of gas in% by volume and
|
|
|
|
|
C i is the equivalence coefficient,
|
|
|
|
In this case, the product shall be classified as oxidising and assigned the R8 R8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Coefficient of equivalence between oxidising gases and oxygen
|
|
|
|
The following coefficients are used in the calculation of the oxidizing ability of certain gases in a mixture compared with the oxidising capacity of oxygen in air, calculated in paragraph 5.2. in ISO standard ISO/DIS 10156 :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
O 2 : 1
|
|
|
|
N 2 O : 0,6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When no value for C i the coefficient exists for a gas in the specified standard, the coefficient shall be attributed to a value of 40.

HEALTH HAZARD CLASSIFICATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.1.
|
Introduction
|
|
|
|
The classification of health concerns both acute effects and long-term effects of substances and products, whether they come from a single, repeated or long-term impact.
|
|
|
|
If, in the case of epidemiological studies, scientifically justified case studies as specified in this section or by statistical underused experience, so as to assess data from poisonous information lesions or from occupational diseases, be shown that the toxicological effects on humans are different from the effects of the methods used for the use of methods of animal testing or the use of the calculation method in 3.3. effects on humans. However, studies on humans must not be used and should not normally be used to refute positive data from animal testing.
|
|
|
|
In the case of several dangerous properties, there are authenticated in vitro methods in Annex 12, and these tests should be used where appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Where classification is carried out from the results of tests, studies from methodologies which reflect the risks that are relevant to the human being should be used in a suitable manner.
|
|
|
|
Classification of substances be carried out on the basis of the survey data available, in accordance with the criteria referred to in 3.2. The scope of these effects shall be taken into account.
|
|
|
|
For products classification shall be classified as a health hazard :
|
|
|
|
(a) On the basis of the classification of the incoming substances, using the calculation methods in 3.3.
|
|
|
|
b) according to the criteria referred to in 3.2. The properties shall be determined by means of the methods set out in Annex 12, with less for plant protection products other internationally accepted methods, in accordance with the publication of the control measures laid down in Annex 5.1.
|
|
|
|
Except for plant protection products to comply with the requirements of Annex 5.1, the methods laid down in paragraph (b) may be used only when the person responsible for marketing, scientifically, can prove that the product is : toxicological properties may not be calculated correctly according to the calculation methods in 3.3 or on the basis of existing animal tests. The test methods must also be justified or separately authorized in accordance with Article 12 of Directive 86 /609/EEC.
|
|
|
|
If a toxicological property is determined both based on the rules of a (a) and (b), the result obtained from point (b) is used for the classification of the product, with the exception of carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproduction properties, where the calculation methods in point 3.3 are calculated. must be used.
|
|
|
|
Irrespective of the method used to assess the risks of a product, account must be taken of all the dangerous health effects referred to in this Title. For example, classification is subject to section 3.2.1.1. not that, for example, section 3.2.1.2., 3.2.1.3. or 3.2.2.
|
|

If one or more toxicological properties of a product of known composition is assessed on the basis of fact-finding data, a new assessment shall be carried out, either on the basis of fact-finding data or using the calculation methods, in the following cases :
|
|
|
|
1)
|
if changes are made to the composition of the product, by replacing or inserting one or more substances, whether these substances are to be classified as dangerous or not,
|
|
|
|
2)
|
the concentration of one of the content substances classified for human health is changed. However, no further assessment needs to be made if the concentration of the concentration does not exceed the following limits :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interval of the initial concentration of the substance
|
Allowed variation in the initial concentration of the substance (as a percentage of the initial concentration)

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new assessment will be valid unless there are scientific reasons to assume that a new hazard assessment will not result in a change of classification.
|
|
|
|
Where impurities, additives or individual constituents of substances have been identified, account shall be taken of this where their concentration is greater than or equal to the following concentration limits :
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
0,1% for substances classified as highly toxic, toxic or as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction in category 1 or 2, or for the environment (assigned symbol N for its waters for the aquatic environment or the ozone layer),
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
1% for substances classified as harmful, corrosive, irritant, sensitizing or as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction in category 3, or dangerous to the environment (not assigned the symbol N, d.v.s. organisms living in water and / or may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment,
|
|
|
|
unless lower values are specified in the list of hazardous substances.
|
|
|
|
In the case of impurities, additives or individual components of the classification of a substance, the rules applicable to the classification of products shall be taken into account when the classification of products is to be classified.
|

Criteria for classification based on survey data
|
|

|
|
|
|
3.2.1.
|
Acute lethal effects
|
|
|
|
Where classification is carried out from the results of tests, the results of methods which reflect the risks that are relevant to man should be used in an appropriate manner.
|
|
|
|
Acute toxicity to the oral administration of substances or products may be determined by means of a method which makes it possible to assess the LD 50 -the value, or by determining the critical dose (fastdosis-method) or by determining the exposure interval where mortality is expected (acute toxicity method).
|
|
|
|
The critical dose is the dose that results in clear signs of toxicity, but no fatalities, and shall be one of the four levels of dose specified in the method indicated in Annex 12 (5, 50, 500 or 2000 mg/kg body weight).
|
|
|
|
The term ' clear indication of toxicity ` shall be used as a description of toxic effects after exposure of the substance or product so serious that exposure to the next higher dose is likely to cause deaths.
|
|
|
|
The results of the examination at a particular dose after the dose dose method may be either :
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
less than 100% survival,
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
100% survival, but clear signs of toxicity,
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
100% survival, no obvious signs of toxicity,
|
|
|
|
In certain cases, the fixed dose method requires that the substance or product be re-examined with a higher or lower dose if it has not already been examined at the appropriate level of dose. See also the evaluation table in test method B1 bis listed in Annex 12.
|
|
|
|
In the criteria referred to in 3.2.1.1., 3.2.1.2 and 3.2.1.3, only the final survey result is available. The dose of 2000 mg/kg shall above all be used to obtain information on the toxic effects of substances and products that display low acute toxicity and are not classed on the basis of acute toxicity.
|
|
|
|
The exposure interval, where mortality is expected, can be found on whether there are related deaths or not by the acute toxicity class method. In the first attempt, one of the three fixed initial doses (25, 200 or 2000 mg/kg body weight) is used.
|
|
|
|
The method of acute toxicity class requires, in certain cases, that the substance is re-examined with higher or lower doses, if it has not already been examined at the appropriate level of dose. See also the evaluation form in test method B. 1 ter in Appendix 12.

Comments regarding the use of R48
|
|
|
|
This R-statement is used to refer to particular biological effects of the kind described in the below. For the purpose of applying this R statement, serious injury shall be deemed to include death, clear function disturbances or morphological changes to toxicological significance. It is particularly important to use it when these changes are irreversible. It is also important that serious changes are not taken into account not only in a single body or biological system, but also to general changes of less serious nature in several bodies or serious changes in the general ; state of health.
|
|
|
|
When assessing whether there is any evidence of such effects, it should be reviewed according to the following guidelines.
|
|
|
|
1.
|
Characters of R48 should be used :
|
|
|
|
|
a)
|
Freed deaths
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
i)
|
Major functional changes in the central nervous system or in the peripheral nervous system, including surveys, hearing and smelling, assessed in clinical observations or other appropriate methods (e.g. electrophysiology).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Greater functional changes in other organ systems (e.g. in the lungs).
|
|
|
|
|
c)
|
Any persistent changes in parameters of clinical biochemistry, haematology or urethra, indicating severe malfunction in one or more bodies. Hematological disorders are considered to be of particular importance if there are signs that they are due to the reduction of bone marrow production of blood cells.
|
|
|
|
|
d)
|
Serious organ damage detected by microscopic studies of tissue after autopsi :
|
|
|
|
|
|
i)
|
Exhibit or severe formation of necrosis, fibrosis or granuloma in vitals with regenerative capacity (e.g. liver).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Serious morphological changes that are potentially reversible, but clearly indicative of significant malfunctions (e.g. serious change in the liver's obesity, severe acute tubular nefrosis in kidney, ulcerous gastritis).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
|
Signs of significant cell death in vitals which cannot regenerate (e.g. fibrosis in the heart of the cardiac or the inclination of a nerve) or in stem cell populations (e.g. aplasia or hypoplasia in the bone marrow).
|
|
|
|
|
The above evidence will usually be obtained from animal testing. Where data from practical experience are used, special attention should be paid to dose levels.
|
|
|
|
2.
|
Characters of R48 should not be used :
|
|
|
|
|
The use of this R statement is limited to ' serious health hazard for longer exposure '. A number of drug-related effects can be observed, both with people and animals who do not justify the use of R48. These effects are relevant when trying to determine a level in which a chemical substance does not have any effect. As examples of well-documented changes which do not normally justify the classification of R48, irrespective of their statistical significance, the following may be mentioned :
|
|
|
|
|
a)
|
Clinical observations or changes in bodily increases, food or water intake, which may have a certain toxicological meaning but which are not in themselves any 'serious health hazard'.
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
Minor changes in clinical biochemistry, haematology or urine analysis, which are of dubious or negligible toxicological significance.
|
|
|
|
|
c)
|
Changes to the body ' s weight without signs of malfunction in the bodies concerned.
|
|
|
|
|
d)
|
Customization responses (e.g., immigration of macros in the pulmonary tissue, liver hypertrophy and enzyme reduction, hyperplastic reactions to irritant substances). Local reactions to the skin due to repeated dermal use of a substance which is better classified by R38 "Irritating to Skin."
|
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
Where there is a certain species-specific toxicity mechanism (e.g. through specific metabolic pathways).

Remarks for very volatile substances
|
|
|
|
In particular substances in respect of which the concentration of saturated vapors is high, there may be indications of effects which cause concern. Such substances may not be classified according to the criteria for health impact in this Annex (section 3.2.1.3., 3.2.2.3 and 3.2.3), or are not covered by item 3.2.8. However, where there is sufficient evidence that such substances may give rise to risks during normal handling and use, it may be necessary to classify them by individual assessment and to include them in the list of hazardous substances.

|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
A substance or product should be considered to be corrosive if the result is possible to predict, for example, from a strong acid or alkali reaction (measured pH of 2 or less or 11,5 or above). However, where extreme pH values form the basis for the classification, account may also be taken of the base or the acid reserve. J.R. Young, M.J. How, A.P. Walker and W.M.H. Worth (1988 'Classification as corrosive or irritant to skin of preparations containing acidic or alkaline substances, without testing on animals' Toxic. In Vitro 2 (1) : 19-26). If the basic or acid appraisal of the reserve is estimated that the substance or preparation is not corrosive, further testing should be carried out at any time by the use of an appropriate validated validation ; in vitro Attempto. The evaluation of the basic or acid reserve should not be used alone to exclude substances or preparations from classification as corrosive.

Risk of severe eye injury
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
Substances and products which, according to the application in the eye of the experimental animal, are causing serious damage to the eye injuries during the course of 72 hours after the impact, which shall be at least 24 hours after the introduction of the test material.
|
|
|
|
|
Eyelisions are serious if the average value of the scores obtained under the eye irritation test specified in Annex 12 corresponds to one of the following values :
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
ambiguity in the cornea of 3 or more ;
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
irris; or more than 1,5 or more.
|

|
Eyelisions are also serious if the substance or product causes a durable approach.
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?

Substances and products that cause serious damage to eye injuries, on the basis of practical observations in human beings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note :
|

Comments regarding the application of R37
|
|
|
|
In the interpretation of practical observations in people, they must carefully distinguish between effects that lead to classification with R48 (see furtive. 3.2.3), and effects which lead to classification with R37. The conditions normally leading to classification with R37 are reversible and usually limited to the upper airways.
|
|
|
|
Positive results from appropriate animal testing may include data obtained by a general toxicity study involving histopathological data from the respiratory system. Data from measurements of experimental bradylatitude (short-spirited) may also be used for the assessment of airway sirarity.

|
Sensitivity by inhalation
|
|
|
|
Substances and products must, according to the following criteria, be classified as sensitizing and assigned the symbol " Xn ", the indication of danger ' to the danger ' and the R-statement :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Comments regarding the use of R 42 :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation from humans
|
|
|
|
Proof that the substance or product may cause specific sensitisation by inhalation will normally be based on experience from humans. In this context, sensibility is seen as asthma, but other sensitivity reactions like rhinitis and alvepolicies also take into account. The condition has a clinical nature of an allergic reaction. However, it is not necessary to demonstrate immunological mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
In the examination of evidence from exposure to humans, the decision to classify it must, in addition to the documented cases, take into account :
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
the size of the exposed population,
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
the extent of exposure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The documentation referred to above may be :
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
clinical history and data from appropriate pulmonary function tests placed in relation to exposure to the substance, confirmed by other supporting documents which may include :
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
a similar chemical structure such as the substances known to cause sensitisation by inhalation ;
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
in vivo immunological tests (e.g., a priktest)
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
in vitro immunological tests (e.g. serological analyses),
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
studies to show other specific but non-immunological action mechanisms, such as the repeated faint irritation and pharmacological induction ;
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
data from positive bronchial provocation tests with the substance, carried out in accordance with accepted guidelines for the determination of a specific sensitivity reaction.
|
|
|
|
|
Clinical cover story should cover both medical and professional history to detect a causal relationship between exposure to a particular substance or product and development of sensitisation by inhalation. Relevant information encomplicates worsening factors, both at home and in the workplace, the beginning and development of the disease and the family history and medical history of the patient concerned. The medical history should also include allergic diseases or respiratory diseases from childhood, and smoking habits.
|
|
|
|
|
The results of positive bronchial provocation tests are considered to be sufficient evidence to classify as sensitising. It must be recognised, however, that many of the studies mentioned above in practice will already be carried out at an earlier stage.
|
|
|
|
|
Substances which only induction asthma symptoms to irritation in persons with bronchial hyperreactivity should not be required for the R-42 statement to be specified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Animal trials
|
|
|
|
|
Data from tests to indicate that a substance or product may cause sensitisation by inhalation of human beings may include :
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
IgE measurements (e.g. in mice)
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
specific pulmongers for guinea pigs.

Sensitivity on skin contact
|
|
|
|
Substances and products shall be classified as sensitizing and assigned the symbol " Xi ", the indication of danger ' Rotating ` and the R-statement :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
R43
|
Can cause sensitisation by contact with the skin
|
|
|
|
|
-whose practical experience shows that the substances and products cause sensitisation by a significant number of persons in contact with skin contact,
|
|
|
|
|
-on the basis of positive results from an appropriate animal study ;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Comments regarding the application of R 43 :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation from humans
|
|
|
|
The following documentation (practical experience) is sufficient to classify a substance with R43 :
|
|
|
|
|
-positive data from appropriate cargo samples, normally from more than one dermatological clinic, or
|
|
|
|
|
-epidemiological studies which show that the substance or product has caused allergic contact dermatitis. Situations in which a high percentage of exposed persons show characteristic symptoms must be considered to be particularly serious, even though the number of cases is low, or
|
|
|
|
|
-positive data from experimental studies on human beings (see, however, furtive. 3.1).
|
|
|
|
The following shall be sufficient to classify a substance with R43 when supporting documentation is provided :
|
|
|
|
|
-isolated cases of allergic contact dermatitis, or
|
|
|
|
|
-epidemiological studies, where cases, systematic errors (bias) or unhandled contexts (confounders) have not been completely excluded.
|
|
|
|
|
Supporting supporting documents may include :
|
|
|
|
|
-data from animal testing carried out according to the applicable guidelines, with a result that does not satisfy the criteria laid down in the section on animal studies, but which are sufficiently close to the border to be considered significant, or
|
|
|
|
|
-data from non-standardized methods, or
|
|
|
|
|
-relevant relationships between structure and activity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Animal studies
|
|
|
|
As positive results from appropriate animal experiments are considered :
|
|
|
|
|
-a response of at least 30% of the test animals if the test method of the adjuqueal type of the skin sensitisation is referred to in Annex 12 or other test methods of the adjusting type of adjuvolous type.
|
|
|
|
|
-For all other fact-finding methods, a response to at least 15% of the test animals is considered to be positive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.6.3
|
Immunological contact ticeria (non-oedefect)
|
|
|
|
Some substances and products which meet the criteria for R 42 may also cause immunological contact-aria. In such cases, information on contact turticaria should be included in the use of suitable S-phrases, usually S 24, and S 36/37, and in the supplier instructions.
|
|
|
|
For substances and products showing signs of immunological contact-aria, but which do not meet the criteria for R42, the classification with R 43 should be considered.
|
|
|
|
There is no such thing as a recognised animal model to identify substances that cause immunological contact-aria. The classification will, therefore, normally have to be based on documentation of people who correspond to the rules of sensitisation by skin contact (R 43).

Carcinogens, mutagenic and toxic effects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.7.1.
|
Carcinogens
|
|
|
|
For the classification, these substances shall be divided into account, taking into account the current knowledge of three categories :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carcinogenic Category 1 (category Carc1) :
|
|
|
|
Substances known to provoke cancer in human beings. There is sufficient evidence for a causal relationship between human exposure to the substance and the development of cancer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carcinogenic Category 2 (category Carc2) :
|
|
|
|
Substances which should be regarded as provoking cancer in human beings. There is sufficient evidence to provide strong grounds for the effect that the effects of the substance in human beings may cause cancer, generally on the basis of :
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
appropriate long-term animal testing,
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
other relevant information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carcinogenic Category 3 (category Carc3) :
|
|
|
|
Substances which give cause for concern, as they may be able to provoke cancer in human beings, but for which there is insufficient information to carry out a satisfactory assessment. There we are. s see signs from relevant animal tests, but these are insufficient to place them in category 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.7.1.1.
|
The following danger symbols and R-phrases shall apply :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Categories Carc1 and Carc2 :
|
|
|
|
T ; R45 : May cause cancer
|
|
|
|
For substances and products which only involve the hazards of inhalation, such as dust, ponds or smoke (whereas other influavenues such as intake or skin contact do not involve any risk to cancer), the following symbol and R-phrase should be used :
|
|
|
|
T, R49 : Can inducer cancer by inhalation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Category Carc3 :
|
|
|
|
Xn ; R40 : Possibility of carcinogenic effect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.7.1.2.
|
Detailed criteria for the classification of carcinogenic substances
|
|
|
|
The location of a substance in category Carc1 shall be carried out on the basis of epidemiological data ; the location in category Carc2 and Carc3 is based mainly on the basis of animal tests.
|
|
|
|
For classification as a carcinogen in category Carc2, either positive results from two animal species or clearly positive effects from an animal species supported by, among other things, genotoxic data, metabolic or biochemical studies, the presence of good tumors, structural similarities with other carcinogenic substances or data from epidemiological studies, which indicate a connection.
|
|
|
|
Category Carc3 includes two sub-categories :
|
|
|
|
a)
|
substances which have been thoroughly investigated, but where the documentation for the tugenous effects is insufficient for classification in category 2, further attempts are not expected to produce additional information that may be relevant for : the classification.
|
|
|
|
b)
|
substances which are not sufficiently investigated. The data that are available are inadequate, but it gives cause for concern for man. This classification is provisional ; further attempts are necessary before a final decision can be taken.
|
|
|
|
In the case of Category Carc2 and Carc3, the following arguments are relevant, reducing the importance of experimental tumors for the possible human exposure possible. These arguments will, in particular, when combined, in most cases lead to classification category Carc3, even if the tumors have been produced in animals :
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
only the carcinogenic effects of very high dose levels exceeding the maximum tolerated dose `. The maximum tolerated dose is characterized by toxic effects which, although not reducing the life of the animal, are accompanied by physical changes, such as 10% reduced growth,
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
Tumorous occurrences, in particular at high levels of dose, which are only occurring in certain animal species in certain animal species, which are known to be particularly inclined to show comprehensive spontaneous tumoration,
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
in the case of an application site in very sensitive test systems (e.g., application under the skin or within the bughul of certain local active connections) if the particular target body is not relevant to humans ;
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
the absence of genotoxicity in short-term studies in vivo and in vitro,
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
presence of a secondary mechanism, which in practice means that there is a threshold at a certain dose level (e.g. hormonal effects in the target organs or on physiological regulatory mechanisms and chronic stimulus of the cell division),
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
presence of a species-specific tumoration mechanism (e.g. through specific metabolic mechanisms) that are not applicable to man.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the case of Category Carc3 and non-classified substances, such arguments are relevant, which exclude concern for human beings :
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
A substance shall not be classified in any of the categories if the mechanism responsible for the tumoreformation during the tests is clearly identified and there is good evidence that this process cannot be extrapolated to humans.
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
If the only cryo-data that exists is the liver tumours in certain sensitive clams, without any other supporting documentation, this substance cannot be classified in any of the categories.
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
Special attention must be given to cases where the only cryo-data that exists is related to the presence of neoplasm in places and in breeds, where it is well known that they often occur spontaneously with a high frequency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.7.2.
|
Mutagenic substances
|
|
|
|
For the classification, these substances shall be divided into account, taking into account the current knowledge of three categories :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mutagen category 1 (category Mut1) :
|
|
|
|
Substances which are known to have mutagenic effects on man.
|
|
|
|
There is sufficient evidence of a causal link between the impact of the substance on human and heredic damage to the genetic material.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mutagen Category 2 (category Mut2) :
|
|
|
|
Substances which should be regarded as having mutagenic effects on the human person.
|
|
|
|
There are sufficient evidence to provide strong grounds for the effect that the human exposure of the substance may result in heredial damage to the genetic material, generally on the basis of :
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
appropriate animal testing,
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
other relevant information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mutation Category 3 (category Mut3) :
|
|
|
|
Substances which give cause for concern, as they may have mutagenic effects. Evidence is available from mutagenicity studies, but it is insufficient to place the substance into category 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.7.2.1.
|
The following danger symbols and R-phrases shall apply :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Category Mut1 :
|
|
|
|
T ; R46 : May cause heredial genetic damage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Category Mut2 :
|
|
|
|
T ; R46 : May cause heredial genetic damage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Category Mut3 :
|
|
|
|
Xn ; R68 : Possibility of permanent damage to health
|

|
|
|
3.2.7.2.2.
|
Detailed criteria for the classification of mutagenic substances
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Expression Definition :
|
|
|
|
A mutation is a permanent change in the genetic material or structure of the genetic material of an organism which results in a change in the phenotypic properties of the organism. The changes may cover a single gen, a regroup or a whole chromosome. Effects that include a single gene can be a result of effects on individual DNA bases (point mutations) or large changes, including the deletion of the gene within the gene. Effects on whole chromosomes may include structural or numerical changes. A mutation in the germ cells of organisms with gender propagation can be disinherited to the offspring. A mutagen is a substance that raises or increases the number of mutations.
|
|
|
|
Substances shall be classified as mutagenic, with particular reference to genetic damage to heredic genetic damage. It should be noted that the kind of results that lead to the classification of substances in category Mut3 : 'the emergenation of genetic relevant events in somatic cells' is generally considered as a warning of possible carcinogenic activity.
|
|
|
|
The development of methods for mutagenicity studies is an ongoing process. For many new methods, there are no standardised protocols and evaluation criteria. The evaluation of mutagenicity data must be considered on the quality of the conduct of the study and the extent of the validation of the method must be assessed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Category Mut1 :
|
|
|
|
In order to place a substance in category Mut1, positive evidence from epidemiological studies on human mutation is a positive one. Examples of such substances are not known to date. It is extremely difficult to obtain reliable information from studies on the effects of mutations in human populations, or whether greater mutation frequency may be increased.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Category Mut2 :
|
|
|
|
In order to place a substance in category Mut2, positive results are needed from studies showing :
|
|
|
|
2 (a)
|
mutagenic effects,
|
|
|
|
2 (b)
|
other cellular interactions in relation to mutagenicity in mammalian cells in vivo, or
|
|
|
|
2 (c)
|
mutagenic effects in mammal somatic cells in vivo combined with clear evidence that the substance or the relevant metabolit reaches the holding cells.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the purposes of category Mut2, the following methods are currently appropriate :
|
|
|
|
Ad 2a)
|
In vivo mutagenicity studies on germ cells :
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
the method of detection of mutation within a particular locus,
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
method of detection of hereditary translocation,
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
method of detecting dominant fatso,
|
|
|
|
These studies show, in fact, the presence of affected offspring or a defect in an embryo in development.
|
|
|
|
by 2 b)
|
In vivo studies, which show relevant interaction with germ cells (usually DNA) :
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
method of detecting chromosomes, as demonstrated by cytogenic analyses, including aneidi, caused by incorrectly splitting of chromosomes ;
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
method of detecting sisterling exchange exchanges (SCE),
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
detection of non-replanting DNA-synthesis (UDS),
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
the method of showing (covalent) binding of the mutagen to cell-DNA
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
method of detecting other forms of DNA damage,
|
|
|
|
These studies give more or less indirect evidence. Positive results from these investigations will normally be supported by positive results from in vivo mutagenicity studies on somatic cells, in mammals or in people (see no. 3, preferred methods as No 3 (a).
|
|
|
|
by 2 c)
|
In vivo studies, which show mutagenic effects in mammals in somatic cells (see No, 3 (a), combined with two ksiko-kinetic methods or other methods which may show that the substance or the relevant metabolit reaches the holding cells.
|
|
|
|
|
For 2 (b) and (2) (c), it may be considered to use positive results from the host-mediated studies or the detection of clear effects in in-vitro studies as supplementary documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Category Mut3 :
|
|
|
|
In order to place a substance into category Mut3, there is a need for positive results from studies showing
|
|
|
|
3 (a)
|
mutagenic effects, or
|
|
|
|
3 (b)
|
other cellular interactions that are relevant to mutagenicity in somatic cells in mammals in vivo.
|
|
|
|
In particular, the latter would normally be supported by positive results from in vitromutagenicity studies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the effects of somatic cells in vivo, the following methods are currently appropriate :
|
|
|
|

|
metaphases analysis in peripheral lymphocytes
|
|
|
|
|
-WHAT?
|
mouse spot test (colour stains on mouse skin)
|
|
|
|
ad 3 (b)
|
In vivo studies concerning the DNA interactions in somatic cells :
|
|

|
|
|
|
Substances which show only positive results in one or more in vitro mutagenicity studies should normally not be classified. However, it is highly recommended to carry out further studies with in vivo studies. In exceptional cases, for example, by a substance which shows strong reactions in several in vitro studies and in which relevant in vivo data are not available, and which also exhibit similarities with known mutagenic / carcinogens, can classification in category Mut3 are considered.

|
Detailed criteria for the classification of toxic to reproduction
|
|
|
|
Reproductive toxicity shall include the deterioration in the reproductive function or ability of men and women and the resulting non-inheritance harmful effects of the offspring. There is the possibility of classifying two main groups : 1) the effects on the reproductive ability of men and women and of 2) damage to the offspring.
|
|
|
|
1)
|
Effects on the reproductive ability of men and women, includes harmful effects on libido, sexual behaviour, all aspects of spermatogeneses or oogeneses or hormonal activity or physiological responses which may interfere with reproductive function, the reproductive system itself or the development of it ; fertilised eggs up to and including the implantation.
|
|
|
|
2)
|
Damage to the offspring, in its broadest sense, all effects that interfere with the normal course of development, both within and after birth. It shall include both effects caused or show prior to the birth of an effect that is first to be expressed after birth. This includes embryo toxic / phototoxic effects such as reduced body weight, growth and development deceleration, organ toxicity, death, abortion, structural defects (teratogenic effects), functional defects, peri and postnatal defects ; and hauled postnatal mental or physical development to and including normal puberty development.
|
|
|
|
|
The classification of chemical substances as toxic to reproduction is intended for chemical substances which have an inherent or specific property that provoke such toxic effects. Chemical substances should not be classified as toxic to reproduction if these effects only arise as a non-specific secondary consequence of other toxic effects. The chemical substances that give rise to most concern are substances which are toxic to reproduction at exposure levels, which do not cause any other signs of toxicity.
|
|
|
|
|
The location of a chemical substance in category Rep1 for effects on reproductive performance and / or damage to the offspring shall be based on epidemiological data. The position in Category Rep2 or Rep3 is based mainly on data from animal testing. Data from in vitro studies or studies from bird eggs shall be considered as 'supporting evidence' and will only lead exceptionally to the classifications in the absence of in vivo data.
|
|
|
|
|
As is the case for most other types of toxic effects, substances that display reproduction toxicity are suspected of having a threshold below which does not cause harmful effects. Even where significant effects are apparent during animal experiments, the meaning of human beings may be doubtful due to the doses used, for example where the effects have only shown in high doses or where there are two-ksikinetic differences ; or the application method is not applicable. These or similar reasons may cause the substance to be classified in Category Rep3 or, if any, are not at all classified.
|
|
|
|
|
In the methods set out in Annex 12, a limit test for substances with low toxicity is specified. If a dose level of at least 1000 mg/kg at oral reproduction does not give any indication of reproduction effects, then attempts at other dose levels may be considered superfluous. If data are available from studies carried out with higher levels of dose than the above limit dose, then these data shall be evaluated together with other relevant data.
|
|
|
|
|
Under normal circumstances, effects which are only at higher doses other than the limit doses may not necessarily be classified as reproduction toxicity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Effects on reproductive ability
|
|
|
|
In order to classify a substance in category Rep2 for phyphyphyphyreproduction, a clear evidence of such effects must normally be available in an animal species with supporting evidence of an effective mechanism or point of attack or chemical, similarities with other known reproductive substances or other information from humans, which may conclude that such effects are likely to occur in humans. Where there are only studies of an animal species without other relevant supporting documents, classifications in Category Rep3 may be appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Since reproductive capability may appear as a non-specific knockdown effect of severe general toxicity or where there is serious collection, classification in Category Rep2 should be classified only if there is evidence of some degree of specific toxicity to the reproductive operation. If it has been demonstrated that reproductive efficiency in animal testing is due to dizzying parring, it will normally be necessary for the classification in Category Rep2 to have evidence of the reaction mechanism in question in order to be able to : interpret whether it is likely that any harmful effects, such as changes in the hormone balance, will also be held in people's places.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Development toxicity
|
|
|
|
In order to classify a substance in category Rep2, documentation must clearly indicate harmful effects from well-organised experiments with one or more animal species. Since harmful effects during pregnancy or after birth can be caused by secondary effects of maternel toxicity, the consumption of food or water, the stress of the mother animal, the shortage of juveninal care, specific deficiencies in the feed, poor breeding conditions, adjacent infections and so on, it is important that the observed effects appear during well-organised tests and at dose levels that are not associated with significant maternel toxicity. The method of application is also important. In particular, the intraperitonic venom of localising substances may cause local damage to the uterus and its contents, and the results of such investigations may be interpreted with prudence and would normally not only be able to lead to classification.
|
|
|
|
Classification in Category Rep3 based on similar criteria as for Category Rep2 but can be used where there are certain deficiencies in the design of the study, which may make the conclusions less convincing, or the possibility of the effects may be caused by : non-specific influences, such as general toxicity, cannot be excluded.
|
|
|
|
Generally speaking, classification is used in Category Rep3 or no category on an ad hoc basis, where the only observed effects are minor changes in the frequency of spontaneous defects, minor changes to the frequency of commonly occurring ; any variants observed in skeletal studies or small differences noted in the assessment of post-natal developments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Effects during amusing
|
|
|
|
Substances which are classified as toxic to reproduction and which also give cause for concern as to their effects on the feeding must also be assigned to R64 (see the criteria in section 3.2.8).
|
|
|
|
In the case of the classification, toxic effects will be exclusively as a result of exposure to the milk or toxic effects that are one ; directly the exposure of children to the substance shall not be considered as 'toxic to reproduction', unless the effects result in the inhibited development of the offspring.
|
|
|
|
Substances which are not classified as toxic to reproduction but which cause concerns as a result of toxicity when transferred to infants under the ammex period must be marked with R64 (see criteria of 3.2.8.). This R-phrase may also be used for substances which affect the quantity or quality of the milk.
|
|
|
|
R64 is normally used on the basis of :
|
|
|
|
a)
|
toxicokinetic studies indicating that the substance may be present in possible toxic quantities in breast milk and / or
|
|
|
|
b)
|
on the basis of results from one or two-generation experiments involving animals indicating harmful effects of offspring resulting from transmission by the milk ; and / or
|
|
|
|
c)
|
on the basis of evidence from people who are indicative of a threat to infants in the framework of the ammetime.
|
|
|
|
Substances on which it is known that they accumulate in the body, and which can then be transmitted with milk under aamation, can be assigned to R33 and R64.

The concentration of a substance in a product is calculated for non-gaseous products as a percentage by weight and by gaseous products as a volume percentage.
|
|
|
|
The calculation methods are specified in 3.3.1. to 3.3.7, as well as for gaseous products listed in 3.3.8.
|
|
|
|
When it can be established that calculation methods, because of effects such as potensation or antagonism, lead to an under-or overvaluing of the health risks of the product, these effects must be taken into account when the product classification is. This is true that the substances which cause that effect should be classified as dangerous or not.

3.3.1.
|
Acute lethal effects
|
|
|
|
In calculating the classification of products due to their acute lethal effects, the content substances that meet the classification criteria as highly toxic or toxic or harmful due to such effects are taken into account, cf. item 3.2.1. However, this does not apply to the content substances that are classified as harmful to R65. On the classification of products such as hazardous to health, due to their ability to induce chemical pneumonia, see the criterion for R65, item 3.2.1.3.

The main purpose of classifying substances dangerous to the environment is to warn the user against the dangers that these substances pose to the ecosystems. The current criteria are mainly referring to the aquatic environment, but some substances may at the same time or, instead, have effects on other ecosystems with populations that can extend from the soil microphases of the soil and microfauna to mammals. The criteria set out below shall be followed directly by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2. 440/2008 of 30. May 2008 laying down experimental methods in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2 of the European Parliament and of the Council. 1907/2006 on the registration, assessment and approval, as well as restrictions on chemicals (REACH), to the extent that they have been mentioned. The test methods for the base set referred to in Annexes VII and VIII to Regulation (EC) No (EC) No 1907/2006 is limited, and the information from here may be insufficient for the appropriate classification. A classification may require additional data on the basis of Annexes IX and X to Regulation (EC) No 2. 1907/2006 or other similar studies. Classifications may also be re-examined in the light of new knowledge.
|
|
|
|
For the purposes of classification, the criteria on the basis of the present knowledge in two groups shall be either after the acute and / or long-term effects of the substances in the aquatic environment or the acute and / or long-term effects of the substances in other ecosystems.
|
|
|
|
Substances shall be classified on the basis of the fact-finding data available in accordance with the criteria referred to in 4.2.
|
|
|
|
For products, classification shall be classified as follows :
|
|
|
|
For acute aquatic toxicity :
|
|
|
|
a)
|
on the basis of the classification of the incoming substances, by using the calculation methods in Point 4.3.
|
|
|
|
b)
|
according to the criteria referred to in 4.2. The properties are determined by means of the methods set out in Annex 12 with less for plant protection products other internationally accepted methods are acceptable in accordance with the publication of the control measures laid down in Annex 5.1. At the same time, for plant protection products, the test requirements must comply with Annex 5.1. in the fight against the mean publication.
|
|
|
|
If a toxicological property is determined both from the rules of a (a) and (b), the results of point (b) shall be used for the classification of the product, with the exception of undesirable long-term effects and hazards for the ozone layer, where the calculation methods laid down in Point 4.3 must be taken ; used.
|
|
|
|
Where the methods of paragraph (b) apply, the quality criteria for the methods set out in Annex 12 must be complied with The samples must also be carried out on all three species groups in accordance with the criteria referred to in 4.2. (algae, daphnia and fish), unless the product has been assigned the highest peril of exposure to the aquatic environment after testing on one of the species, or a result of the test already existed before this notice ; entered into force unless special rules are applied to plant protection products.
|
|
|
|
If one or more dangerous environmental properties of a product of known composition are evaluated based on fact-finding data, other than plant protection products must take a new evaluation, either based on the examination data or by using the calculation method in the following cases :
|
|
|
|
1. If changes are made to the composition of the product by replacing or inserting one or more substances, whether these substances are to be classified as dangerous or not,
|
|
|
|
2. the concentration of one of the substances classified as classified for the environment is changed. However, a new assessment does not need to be re-evaluated if the concentration of the concentration does not exceed the following limits :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interval of the initial concentration of the substance
|
Allowed variation in the initial concentration of the substance (as a percentage of the initial concentration)
|
|
|
2.2.5%,
|
± 30%
|
|
|
> 2.510%, 10%
|

|
± 10%
|
|
|
> 25 100% 100%
|
± 5%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new assessment shall be valid unless there are scientific reasons to assume that a review of the danger is not going to result in a change of classification.
