# The Explosives (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009, Paragraph 6.2: Gaseous preparations

Extent: N.I.

For gases which produce such effects and for which specific concentration limits do not yet appear in Table 3.2 of part 3 of Annex VI of the CLP Regulation, concentration limits laid down in Table VIA, expressed as a volume/volume percentage, shall determine, where appropriate, the classification of the preparation.
The following symbol and risk phrases are assigned:
Carcinogenic categories 1 and 2:
T; R45 or R49
Carcinogenic category 3:
Xn; R40
Mutagenic categories 1 and 2:
T; R46
Mutagenic category 3:
Xn R68
Toxic for reproduction fertility categories 1 and 2:
T; R60
Toxic for reproduction development categories 1 and 2:
T; R61
Toxic for reproduction fertility category 3:
Xn; R62
Toxic for reproduction development category 3:
Xn; R63
Table VIA
Classification of the substance (gas)
Classification of the gaseous preparation
Categories 1 and 2
Category 3
In cases where the preparation is assigned R49 and R40, both R phrases shall be kept, because R40 does not distinguish between the exposure routes, whereas R49 is only assigned for the inhalation route.
R68 here refers to substances classified as mutagenic. Concentration limits for substances required to be labelled R68 but classified as harmful are given in Table IIA.
carcinogenic substances of category 1 or 2 with R45 or R49
concentration ≥ 0.1% carcinogenic R45, R49 obligatory as appropriate
carcinogenic substances of category 3 with R40
concentration ≥ 1% carcinogenic R40 obligatory (unless already assigned R45)
mutagenic substances of category 1 or 2 with R46
concentration ≥ 0.1% mutagenic R46 obligatory
mutagenic substances of category 3 with R68
concentration ≥ 1% mutagenic R68 obligatory (unless already assigned R46)
substances “toxic for reproduction” of category 1 or 2 with R60 (fertility)
concentration ≥ 0.2% toxic for reproduction (fertility) R60 obligatory
substances “toxic for reproduction” of category 3 with R62 (fertility)
concentration ≥ 1% toxic for reproduction (fertility) R62 obligatory (unless already assigned R60)
substances “toxic for reproduction” of category 1 or 2 with R61 (development)
concentration ≥ 0.2% toxic for reproduction (development) R61 obligatory
substances “toxic for reproduction” of category 3 with R63 (development)
concentration ≥ 1% toxic for reproduction (development) R63 obligatory (unless already assigned R61)
