  "text": "An assessment must be made of the health effects that the use of a substance or a preparation might entail. For that purpose the dangerous health effects have been subdivided into:\n1. acute lethal effects;\n2. non-lethal irreversible effects after a single exposure;\n3. severe effects after repeated or prolonged exposure;\n4. corrosive effects, irritant effects;\n5. sensitizing effects;\n6. carcinogenic effects, mutagenic effects, toxic effects for reproduction.\nThe systematic assessment of the dangerous health effects is expressed by means of concentration limits, expressed as weight/weight percentage except for gaseous preparations (Tables A) where they are expressed as a volume/volume percentage and in conjunction with the classification of a substance.\nThe classification of the substance is expressed either by a symbol and one or more risk phrases or by categories (category 1, category 2 or category 3) also expressed by risk phrases when substances are shown to be carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction. Therefore it is important to consider, in addition to the symbol, all the phrases denoting specific risks which are assigned to each substance under consideration.",
