Annex IV

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is amended as follows:

  1. (1)

    The first introductory paragraph of Annex IV is replaced by the following:

    ‘This Annex sets out a matrix listing the recommended precautionary statements for each hazard class and hazard category by type of precautionary statement. The matrix guides the selection of appropriate precautionary statements, and includes elements for all categories of precautionary action. All specific elements relating to particular hazard classes shall be used. In addition, general precautionary statements not linked to a certain hazard class or category shall also be used where relevant.

    To provide flexibility in the application of precautionary phrases, combinations or consolidations of precautionary statements are encouraged to save label space and improve readability. The matrix and the Tables in Part 1 of this Annex include a number of combined precautionary statements. However, these are only examples and suppliers may further combine and consolidate phrases where this contributes to clarity and comprehensibility of label information in accordance with Articles 22 and 28(3).

    Notwithstanding Article 22 the precautionary statements that appear on labels or in safety data sheets may incorporate minor textual variations from those set out in this Annex where these variations assist in communicating safety information and the safety advice is not diluted or compromised. These may include spelling variations, synonyms or other equivalent terms appropriate to the region where the product is supplied and used.’
