Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Table 3.3.3

Generic concentration limits of ingredients classified as skin corrosion (Category 1, 1A, 1B or 1C) and/or serious eye damage (Category 1) or eye irritation (Category 2) that trigger classification of the mixture as serious eye damage/eye irritation where the additivity approach applies

If an ingredient is classified as both Skin Corrosion Sub-Category 1A, 1B, 1C or Category 1 and Serious Eye Damage (Category 1), its concentration is considered only once in the calculation.

Sum of ingredients classified as: Concentration triggering classification of a mixture as:
Serious eye damage Eye irritation
Category 1 Category 2
Skin corrosion Sub-Category 1A, 1B, 1C or Category 1 + Serious eye damage (Category 1) f1 ≥ 3 % ≥ 1 % but < 3 %
Eye irritation (Category 2) ≥ 10 %
10 × (Skin corrosion Sub-Category 1A, 1B, 1C or Skin corrosion Category 1 + Serious eye damage (Category 1)) + Eye irritation (Category 2) ≥ 10 %

Table 3.3.4

Generic concentration limits of ingredients that trigger classification of the mixture as serious eye damage (Category 1) or eye irritation (Category 2), where the additivity approach does not apply

Ingredient Concentration Mixture classified as:
Acid with pH ≤ 2 ≥ 1 % Serious eye damage (Category 1)
Base with pH ≥ 11,5 ≥ 1 % Serious eye damage (Category 1)
Other ingredient classified as skin corrosion (Sub-Category 1A, 1B, 1C or Category 1) or serious eye damage (Category 1) ≥ 1 % Serious eye damage (Category 1)
Other ingredient classified as eye irritation (Category 2) ≥ 3 % Eye irritation (Category 2)
