# Commission Directive 2000/39/EC of 8 June 2000 establishing a first list of indicative occupational exposure limit values in implementation of Council Directive 98/24/EC on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work (Text with EEA relevance), Annex

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

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).
