Paragraph 5.2 Gaseous preparations
Northern Ireland
Gases that produce such effects are classified as sensitising and assigned:
the symbol Xn and phrase R42 if this effect can be produced by inhalation,
the symbol Xi and phrase R43 if this effect can be produced by inhalation and through contact with the skin.
The individual concentration limits specified in Table VA expressed as a volume/volume percentage, determine, when appropriate, the classification of the preparation.
Table VA
| Classification of the substance (gas) | Classification of the gaseous preparation | |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitising with R42 | Sensitising with R43 | |
| Sensitising with R42 | concentration ≥ 0.2% R42 obligatory | |
| Sensitising with R43 | concentration ≥ 0.2% R43 obligatory | |
