Those data are categorised into 4 Groups, which are divided into 7 Categories.\n2.\nThe following general rules shall apply for the calculation of Harmonised Risk Indicator 1:\n(a) the Harmonised Risk Indicator 1 shall be calculated on the basis of the categorisation of active substances into the 4 Groups and 7 Categories set out in Table 1;\n(b) the active substances in Group 1 (categories A and B) shall be those listed in Part D of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011;\n(c) the active substances in Group 2 (categories C and D) shall be those listed in Parts A and B of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011;\n(d) the active substances in Group 3 (categories E and F) shall be those listed in Part E of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011;\n(e) the active substances in Group 4 (category G) shall be those not approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, and therefore not listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011;\n(f) the weightings in row (vi) in Table 1 shall apply.\n3.\nHarmonised Risk Indicator 1 shall be calculated by multiplying the annual quantities of active substances placed on the market for each Group in Table 1 by the relevant hazard weighting set out in Row (vi), followed by the aggregation of the results of these calculations.\n4.\nThe quantities of active substances placed on the market for each Group and Category in Table 1 may be calculated.\nTable 1\nCategorisation of active substances and hazard weightings for the purpose of calculating Harmonised Risk Indicator 1\nRow\nGroups\n1\n2\n3\n4\n(i)\nLow-risk active substances which are approved or deemed to be approved under Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, and which are listed in Part D of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011\nActive substances approved or deemed to be approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, and not falling in other categories, and which are listed in Parts A and B of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011\nActive substances approved or deemed to be approved under Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, which are candidates for substitution, and which are listed in Part E of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011\nActive substances which are not approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, and therefore which are not listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011\n(ii)\nCategories\n(iii)\nA\nB\nC\nD\nE\nF\nG\n(iv)\nMicro-organisms\nChemical active substances\nMicro-organisms\nChemical active substances\nWhich are not classified as:\nCarcinogenic Category 1A or 1B\nand/or\nToxic for Reproduction Category 1A or 1B\nand/or\nEndocrine disruptors\nWhich are classified as:\nCarcinogenic Category 1A or 1B\nand/or\nToxic for Reproduction Category 1A or 1B\nand/or\nEndocrine disruptors, where exposure of humans is negligible\n(v)\nHazard Weightings applicable to quantities of active substances placed on the market in products authorised under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009\n(vi)\n1\n8\n16\n64\n5.\nThe baseline for Harmonised Risk Indicator 1 shall be set at 100, and is equal to the average result of the above calculation for the period 2011-2013.\n6.\nThe result of Harmonised Risk Indicator 1 shall be expressed by reference to the baseline.\n7.\nThe Member States and the Commission shall calculate and publish the Harmonised Risk Indicator 1 in accordance with Article 15(2) and 15(4) of Directive 2009/128/EC for each calendar year and at the latest 20 months after the end of the year for which the Harmonised Risk Indicator 1 is being calculated.\nSECTION 3\nHarmonised Risk Indicator 2: Harmonised Risk Indicator based on the number of authorisations granted under Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009\n1.\nThis indicator shall be based on the number of authorisations granted for plant protection products under Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as communicated to the Commission in accordance with Article 53(1) of that Regulation. Those data are categorised into 4 Groups, which are divided into 7 Categories.\n2.\nThe following general rules shall apply for the calculation of the Harmonised Risk Indicator 2:\n(a) the Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 shall be based on the number of authorisations granted under Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. It shall be calculated on the basis of the categorisation of active substances into the 4 Groups and 7 Categories set out in Table 2 of this Section;\n(b) the active substances in Group 1 (categories A and B) are listed in Part D of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011;\n(c) the active substances in Group 2 (categories C and D) are those listed in Parts A and B of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011;\n(d) the active substances in Group 3 (categories E and F) shall be those listed in Part E of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011;\n(e) the active substances in Group 4 (category G) shall be those not approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, and therefore not listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011;\n(f) The weightings in row (vi) in Table 2 of this Section shall apply.\n3.\nThe Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 shall be calculated by multiplying the number of authorisations granted for plant protection products under Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 for each Group in Table 2 by the relevant hazard weighting set out in Row (vi), followed by the aggregation of the results of these calculations.\nTable 2\nCategorisation of active substances and hazard weightings for the purpose of calculating Harmonised Risk Indicator 2\nRow\nGroups\n1\n2\n3\n4\n(i)\nLow-risk active substances which are approved or deemed to be approved under Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, and which are listed in Part D of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011\nActive substances approved or deemed to be approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, and not falling in other categories, and which are listed in Parts A and B of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011\nActive substances approved or deemed to be approved under Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, which are candidates for substitution, and which are listed in Part E of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011\nActive substances which are not approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, and therefore which are not listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011\n(ii)\nCategories\n(iii)\nA\nB\nC\nD\nE\nF\nG\n(iv)\nMicro-organisms\nChemical active substances\nMicro-organisms\nChemical active substances\nWhich are not classified as:\nCarcinogenic Category 1A or 1B\nand/or\nToxic for Reproduction Category 1A or 1B\nand/or\nEndocrine disruptors\nWhich are classified as:\nCarcinogenic Category 1A or 1B\nand/or\nToxic for Reproduction Category 1A or 1B\nand/or\nEndocrine disruptors where exposure of humans is negligible\n(v)\nHazard Weightings applicable to the number of authorisations granted under Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009\n(vi)\n1\n8\n16\n64\n4.\nThe baseline for Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 shall be set at 100, and is equal to the average result of the above calculation for the period 2011-2013.\n5.\nThe result of the Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 shall be expressed by reference to the baseline.\n6.\nThe Member States and the Commission shall calculate and publish the Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 in accordance with Article 15(2) and 15(4) of Directive 2009/128/EC for each calendar year and at the latest 20 months after the end of the year for which Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 is being calculated.’",
