INDICATIVE OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT VALUES

EINECS: European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances.

CAS: Chemical Abstract Service Registry Number.

A skin notation assigned to the occupational exposure limit value indicates the possibility of significant uptake through the skin.

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

A limit value above which exposure should not occur and which 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).
