| 1. | Purpose of this Schedule | | | The tables in this Schedule replace some of the tables in the GHS. | | | Note | | | See the definition of GHS in regulation 5(1) . |
| Table 6.11. | 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 the GHS, p. 159 and in 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 | | | 1. | The concentration limits in table 6.2 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units). | | 2. | Table 6.2 replaces table 3.6.1 in the GHS, p. 174 and in GHS 3, p. 166. |
| 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 | | | 1. | The concentration limits in table 6.3 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units). | | 2. | Table 6.3 replaces table 3.7.1 in the GHS, p. 187 and in GHS 3, p. 180. |
| 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. |
