Schedule 6 Classification of mixtures

Table 6.1 Classification of mixtures containing respiratory or skin sensitisers

Cut-off values/concentration limits of ingredients of a mixture classified as either a respiratory sensitiser or a skin sensitiser that would trigger classification of the mixture.

| Item | Ingredient classification | Mixture classification | | | | Skin sensitiser Category 1 | Respiratory sensitiser Category 1 | | All physical states | Solid/liquid | Gas | | 1 | Skin sensitiser Category 1 | ≥ 1.0% | | | | 2 | Skin sensitiser Sub-category 1A | ≥ 0.1% | | | | 3 | Skin sensitiser Sub-category 1B | ≥ 1.0% | | | | 4 | Respiratory sensitiser Category 1 | | ≥ 1.0% | ≥ 0.2% | | 5 | Respiratory sensitiser Sub-category 1A | | ≥ 0.1% | ≥ 0.1% | | 6 | Respiratory sensitiser Sub-category 1B | | ≥ 1.0% | ≥ 0.2% |

Note—

Table 6.1 replaces table 3.4.5 in—

(a)

the GHS, p 159, and

(b)

GHS 3, p 151.

Table 6.2 Classification of mixtures containing carcinogens

Cut-off values/concentration limits of ingredients of a mixture classified as a carcinogen that would trigger classification of the mixture.

| Item | Ingredient classification | Mixture classification | | | | Category 1 carcinogen | Category 2 carcinogen | | 1 | Category 1 carcinogen | ≥ 0.1% | | | 2 | Category 2 carcinogen | | ≥ 1.0% |

Notes—

Table 6.3 Classification of mixtures containing reproductive toxicants

Cut-off values/concentration limits of ingredients of a mixture classified as a reproductive toxicant or for effects on or via lactation that would trigger classification of the mixture.

| Item | Ingredient classification | Mixture classification | | | | Category 1 reproductive toxicant | Category 2 reproductive toxicant | Additional category for effects on or via lactation | | 1 | Category 1 reproductive toxicant | ≥ 0.3% | | | | 2 | Category 2 reproductive toxicant | | ≥ 3.0% | | | 3 | Additional category for effects on or via lactation | | | ≥ 0.3% |

Notes—

Table 6.4 Classification of mixtures containing specific target organ toxicants , single exposure

Cut-off values/concentration limits of ingredients of a mixture classified as a specific target organ toxicant that would trigger classification of the mixture.

| Item | Ingredient classification | Mixture classification | | | | Category 1 | Category 2 | | 1 | Category 1 specific target organ toxicant | Concentration ≥ 10% | 1.0% ≤ concentration < 10% | | 2 | Category 2 specific target organ toxicant | | Concentration ≥ 10% |
