INDICATIVE OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT VALUES

Einecs: European inventory of existing chemical substances.

CAS: Chemical abstract service registry number.

A skin notation assigned to the OEL identifies the possibility of significant uptake through the skin.

Measured or calculated in relation to a reference period of eight-hours time-weighted average.

A limit value above which exposure should not occur and is related to a 15-minute period, unless otherwise specified.

mg/m3: milligrams per cubic metre of air at 20 °C and 101,3 KPa.

ppm: parts per million by volume in air (ml/m3).
