WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATION 2011 - SCHEDULE 6

SCHEDULE 6 – Classification of mixtures

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 schedule 19 .

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 Respiratory sensitiser
All physical states Solid / liquid Gas
1 Skin sensitiser Category 1 ≥ 1.0%
2 Skin sensitiser Subcategory 1A ≥ 0.1%
3 Skin sensitiser Subcategory 1B ≥ 1.0%
4 Respiratory sensitiser Category 1 ≥ 1.0% ≥ 0.2%
5 Respiratory sensitiser Subcategory 1A ≥ 0.1% ≥ 0.1%
6 Respiratory sensitiser Subcategory 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 1A carcinogen Category 1B 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—
(a) the GHS, p. 174; and
(b) 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—
(a) the GHS, p. 187; and
(b) 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.

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%
Notes—
1 The concentration limits in table 6.4 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units).
2 Table 6.4 replaces table 3.8.2 in—
(a) the GHS, p. 197; and
(b) GHS 3, p. 192.

Table 6.5 Classification of mixtures containing specific target organ toxicants (repeated 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%
Notes—
1 The concentration limits in table 6.5 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units).
2 Table 6.5 replaces table 3.9.3 in—
(a) the GHS, p. 207; and
(b) GHS 3, p. 203.
