Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

If the trigger for volatilisation, Vp = 10– 5 Pa (for volatilisation from plant) or 10– 4 Pa (for volatilisation from soil) at a temperature of 20 °C is exceeded and (drift) mitigation measures are required to reduce exposure to non-target organisms, model calculations of off-site deposition (PEC) originating from volatilisation shall be provided. The volatilisation term (PEC) shall be added into the relevant risk assessment procedures for PECS and PECSW. The calculation may be refined using data from confined experiments. Where relevant, laboratory, wind-tunnel or field experiments to determine PECS from deposition following volatilisation and mitigation measures shall be provided.
