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 regulation 5.

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.

Note—

Table 6.1 replaces table 3.4.5 in—

            (a)         the GHS, p 159; and

            (b)         GHS 3, p 151.

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.

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)
