Paragraph 5.1 Other than gaseous preparations

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

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.
