Annex 1
Dangerous substances
This annex consists of part 1, which contains a list of
Special hazard categories and part 2 which contains a
list of hazardous substances.
The following applies for the purposes of this annex.
1. the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) no
1272/2008 of 16 december 2008 on classification, labelling
and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and
repealing directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and
amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, the wording under
Commission Regulation (EU) no 1297/2014, is
provisions on classification and labelling of substances and
mixtures.
2. Mixtures should be treated in the same way as pure substances provided they
kept within the concentration limits because of the substances '
characteristics are laid down in Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008, or
its latest adaptation to technical progress, but
If a percentage composition or other description is specified
specifically.
3. Dangerous substances not covered by Regulation (EC) no
1272/2008, the wording under Commission Regulation (EU) no
1297/2014, including waste, but which occur or
likely to occur in an activity and at the
conditions of activities have or are likely to
has the same characteristics as regards opportunities to
cause serious accidents, should provisionally be attributed
to the hazard category in part 1 is most analog or
hazardous substance in part 2 which is mostly analog.
4. If a hazardous substance exhibiting characteristics that causes several
classifications according to Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008, the
the wording under Commission Regulation (EU) no 1297/2014;
should the classification corresponding to the minimum amount of
hazardous substance shall apply. In cases where a hazardous substance is covered by
Part 1 and also listed in part 2, the amounts set out in the
Part 2 applies.
5. If any of the substances listed in part 2, paragraphs 42 to 48
included in a flammable liquid, as referred to in Section 1 paragraphs P5a
or P5b, the quantities referred to in the latter paragraphs
applied.
6. the quantity of dangerous substance should be taken into account for the purposes
by regulations, the maximum amount of present or
can occur. Dangerous substances involved in an activity
only in quantities equal to or less than 2 percent
by the specified amount in part 1 and part 2 should not be included in the
the calculation of the total quantity present if they are
placed within the business so that they can trigger a
major accident elsewhere within it.
7. If, within an activity are present or may be present
several hazardous substances listed in this annex in quantities
is less than the maximum quantities specified for each substance, a
summary be made to determine if the activity is subject to
of the provisions. For the purposes of aggregation, the
selected limit value is always equal to the current
classification. The summation is done according to the formula
SQX/Qx = q1/Q1 + q2/Q2 + .... + qn/Qn where qx denotes the
abundant quantity of dangerous substance x "topic 1" until "topic
(n) "in the list of subject and categories of substances in
This annex and Qx denotes the specified in this annex
maximum amount for each substance or class of substances.
This formula is applied for:
a) summary of the dangerous substances listed in part 2 and
included in the acute toxicity category 1, 2 or 3 (via
inhalation) or STOT SEE category 1, along with dangerous
substances contained in section h: records H1 to H3 in part 1,
b) summary of the dangerous substances listed in part 2 and
as are explosives or items,
flammable gases, flammable aerosols, oxidizing gases,
flammable liquids, självreagerande substances and mixtures,
organic peroxides, pyrophoric liquids and solids,
oxidizing liquids and solids together with the dangerous
substances contained in section P entries P1 to P8 in part 1,
and
c) summary of the dangerous substances listed in part 2 and that
included in the hazardous to the aquatic environment, acute category 1, chronic
category 1 or category 2, together with the
hazardous substances contained in section E entries E1 and E2 in Part
1.
If any of the amounts under (a), (b) or (c) is equal to or
greater than one (1) to the activities covered by
the provisions.

for employees participating in the management of risks for
serious chemical accidents, at all levels of the Organization,
together with the measures taken to increase the
awareness of the need for continuous improvement.
Training needs for these employees and education
arrangement. The participation of employees and subcontractors
personnel working in operations and relevant
from a security point of view.
b) identification and evaluation of major
chemical accidents – adoption and implementation of procedures for
systematic identification of these risks under normal and
abnormal operation, including, where appropriate, activities
outsourced to subcontractors, as well as the assessment of
the likelihood of an accident occurring and how
serious it may be.
c) control – adoption and implementation of procedures and
instructions for safe operation, including maintenance of
the plant, processes, equipment, and emergency procedures
and temporary downtime. Consideration should then be given to
available information about best practices for monitoring and
control, in order to reduce the risk of system failure. Governance
and control of the risks associated with rising
the age of the equipment installed in a business as well as
with corrosion, mapping of the company's equipment,
strategy and methodology for monitoring and control of
the equipment's condition, appropriate follow-up action and

implementation of procedures to identify foreseeable
emergencies by systematic analysis, to
prepare, test and review emergency plans
during such emergencies and to provide specific training to the
staff concerned. This training should be provided to all
personnel working in the establishment, including
subcontractor personnel concerned.
f) monitoring performance — adoption and implementation of
procedures to continually assess compliance with
the objectives of the programme of action of the operator including
security management system, as well as the mechanisms for supervision and
corrective action if there are deficiencies. Procedures
should include the operator's procedures for the notification of
serious chemical accidents or events that could have led
to the accident, particularly when it failed
protection measures, surveys and monitoring
based on previous lessons. The procedures shall also include
performance indicators such as performance indicators for safety
and other relevant indicators.
g) Review and update – adoption and implementation of
procedures for periodic systematic assessment of the
the action programme, including security management system
efficiency and adequacy, documented review of
strategy and security management system's performance and the highest
management's update of the safety management system,
including considerations of and introduction of necessary
changes according to the results of the review and
the update.
