Paragraph 5.1 Other than gaseous preparations
Substances that produce such effects are classified as sensitizing and assigned:
-
the symbol Xn and phrase R42 if this effect can be produced by inhalation,
-
the symbol Xi and phrase R43 if this effect can be produced through contact with the skin,
-
the symbol Xn and phrase R42/43 if this effect can be produced by inhalation and through contact with the skin.
The individual concentration limits specified in Table V determine, when appropriate, the classification of the preparation.
