Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/521 of 27 March 2019 amending, for the purposes of its adaptation to technical and scientific progress Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixturesText with EEA relevance.

Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/521 of 27 March 2019 amending, for the purposes of its adaptation to technical and scientific progress Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 OJ L 353, 31.12.2008, p. 1. , and in particular Article 53(1) thereof, Whereas: (1) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 harmonises the provisions and criteria for the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures and certain specific articles within the Union. (2) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 takes into account the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (UN). (3) The classification criteria and labelling rules of the GHS are periodically reviewed at the UN level. The sixth and seventh revised editions of the GHS result from changes adopted in 2014 and 2016 respectively by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. (4) The sixth and seventh revised editions of the GHS trigger the need to amend some technical provisions and criteria on classification, labelling and packaging in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. In particular, these further developments of the GHS introduce a new hazard class for desensitised explosives and a new hazard category, pyrophoric gases, within the hazard class flammable gases. Other changes include adaptations to: the criteria for substances and mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases, the generic cut-off values; the general provisions to classify aerosol forms of mixtures; and the detail of the definitions and classification criteria as appropriate for the hazard classes explosives, flammable gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, acute toxicity, skin corrosion/irritation, serious eye damage/eye irritation, respiratory and skin sensitisation, germ cell mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, specific target organ toxicity and aspiration hazard. In addition, amendments are introduced to some hazard and precautionary statements. It is therefore necessary to adapt some technical provisions and criteria in Annexes I, II, III, IV, V and VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 to take account of the sixth and seventh revised editions of the GHS. (5) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly. (6) To ensure that suppliers of substances and mixtures have time to adapt to the new classification, labelling and packaging provisions, the application of this Regulation should be deferred.

(7) In line with the transitional provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 which allow the application of the new provisions at an earlier stage on a voluntary basis, suppliers should have the possibility of applying the new classification, labelling and packaging provisions on a voluntary basis before the date of application of this Regulation. (8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1). , HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Flammability shall be determined by tests or, for mixtures where there are sufficient data available, by calculation in accordance with the methods adopted by ISO (see ISO 10156 as amended, Gases and gas mixtures — Determination of fire potential and oxidising ability for the selection of cylinder valve outlets and, if using fundamental burning velocity for Category 1B, see ISO 817 as amended Refrigerants-Designation and safety classification, Annex C:- Method of test for burning velocity measurement of flammable gases). Instead of the test apparatus according to ISO 10156 as amended, the test apparatus for the tube method according to clause 4.2 of EN 1839 as amended (Determination of explosion limits of gases and vapours) may be used. The following sections 2.2.4.2 and 2.2.4.3 are inserted: 2.2.4.2. Pyrophoricity shall be determined at 54 °C in accordance with either IEC 60079-20-1 ed1.0 (2010-01) Explosive atmospheres – Part 20-1: Material characteristics for gas and vapour classification – Test methods and data or DIN 51794 Determining the ignition temperature of petroleum products. 2.2.4.3. The classification procedure for pyrophoric gases need not be applied when experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at a temperature of 54 °C or below. Flammable gas mixtures, which have not been tested for pyrophoricity and contain more than one percent pyrophoric components, shall be classified as a pyrophoric gas. Expert judgement on the properties and physical hazards of pyrophoric gases and their mixtures shall be used in assessing the need for classification of flammable gas mixtures containing one percent or less pyrophoric components. In this case, testing need only be considered if expert judgement indicates a need for additional data to support the classification process. (n) Section 2.2.4.2 is renumbered as follows: 2.2.4.4. (o) The text before paragraphs (a) to (d) in section 2.6.4.2 is replaced by the following: 2.6.4.2. In the case of mixtures Up to now, the calculation method is validated for mixtures containing up to six volatile components. These components may be flammable liquids like hydrocarbons, ethers, alcohols, esters (except acrylates), and water. It is however not yet validated for mixtures containing halogenated, sulphurous, and/or phosphoric compounds as well as reactive acrylates.

containing known flammable liquids in defined concentrations, although they may contain non-volatile components e.g. polymers, additives, the flash point need not be determined experimentally if the calculated flash point of the mixture, using the method given in 2.6.4.3 below, is at least 5 °C If the calculated flash point is less than 5 °C greater than the relevant classification criterion, the calculation method may not be used and the flash point shall be determined experimentally. greater than the relevant classification criterion and provided that: (p) Section 2.7.2.2 is replaced by the following: 2.7.2.2. Powders of metals or metal alloys shall be classified as flammable solids when they can be ignited and the reaction spreads over the whole length of the sample (100 mm) in 10 min or less. (q) In section 2.12.2.1, Table 2.12.1 is replaced by the following: Table 2.12.1 Criteria for substances and mixtures, which in contact with water, emit flammable gases CategoryCriteria1Any substance or mixture which reacts vigorously with water at ambient temperatures and demonstrates generally a tendency for the gas produced to ignite spontaneously, or which reacts readily with water at ambient temperatures such that the rate of evolution of flammable gas is equal to or greater than 10 litres per kilogram of substance over any one minute.2Any substance or mixture which reacts readily with water at ambient temperatures such that the maximum rate of evolution of flammable gas is equal to or greater than 20 litres per kilogram of substance per hour, and which does not meet the criteria for Category 1.3Any substance or mixture which reacts slowly with water at ambient temperatures such that the maximum rate of evolution of flammable gas is greater than 1 litre per kilogram of substance per hour, and which does not meet the criteria for Categories 1 and 2. Note: The test shall be performed on the substance or mixture in its physical form as presented. If, for example, for the purposes of supply or transport, the same chemical is to be presented in a physical form different from that which was tested and which is considered likely to materially alter its performance in a classification test, the substance must also be tested in the new form. (r) The following section 2.17 is added: 2.17. Desensitised explosives 2.17.1. Definitions and general considerations 2.17.1.1. Desensitised explosives are solid or liquid explosive substances or mixtures which are phlegmatised to suppress their explosive properties in such a manner that they do not mass explode and do not burn too rapidly and therefore may be exempted from the hazard class Explosives (see also paragraph 3 in section 2.1.4.1) Unstable explosives as defined in Section 2.1 can also be stabilised by desensitisation and consequently may be classified as desensitised explosives, provided all criteria of Section 2.17 are met. In this case the desensitised explosive shall be tested according to test series 3 (Part I of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria) because information about its sensitiveness to mechanical stimuli is likely to be important for determining conditions for safe handling and use. The results shall be communicated in the safety data sheet.

2.17.1.2. The hazard class of desensitised explosives comprises: (a) Solid desensitised explosives: explosive substances or mixtures, which are wetted with water or alcohols or are diluted with other substances, to form a homogeneous solid mixture to suppress their explosive properties. NOTE: This includes desensitisation achieved by formation of hydrates of the substances. (b) Liquid desensitised explosives: explosive substances or mixtures, which are dissolved or suspended in water or other liquid substances, to form a homogeneous liquid mixture to suppress their explosive properties. 2.17.2. Classification criteria 2.17.2.1. Any explosive while in a desensitised state shall be considered in this class unless, in that state: (a) It is intended to produce a practical explosive or pyrotechnic effect; (b) It has a mass explosion hazard according to test series 6 (a) or 6 (b) or the corrected burning rate according to the burning rate test described in part V, subsection 51.4 of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria is greater than 1200 kg/min; or (c) The exothermic decomposition energy is less than 300 J/g. NOTE 1: Substances or mixtures, which meet the criterion (a) or (b) in their desensitised state shall be classified as explosives (see Section 2.1). Substances or mixtures which meet the criterion (c) may fall within the scope of other physical hazard classes. NOTE 2: The exothermic decomposition energy may be estimated using a suitable calorimetric technique (see section 20, sub-section 20.3.3.3 in Part II of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria). 2.17.2.2. Desensitised explosives shall be classified and packaged for supply and use in one of the four categories of this class depending on the corrected burning rate (Ac) using the test burning rate test (external fire) described in Part V, sub-section 51.4 of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria, according to Table 2.17.1: Table 2.17.1. Criteria for desensitised explosives CategoryCriteria1Desensitised explosives with a corrected burning rate (AC) equal to or greater than 300 kg/min but not more than 1200 kg/min2Desensitised explosives with a corrected burning rate (AC) equal to or greater than 140 kg/min but less than 300 kg/min 3Desensitised explosives with a corrected burning rate (AC) equal to or greater than 60 kg/min but less than 140 kg/min4Desensitised explosives with a corrected burning rate (AC) less than 60 kg/min Note 1: Desensitised explosives shall be prepared so that they remain homogeneous and do not separate during normal storage and handling, particularly if desensitised by wetting. The manufacturer/supplier shall give information in the safety data sheet about the shelf-life and instructions on verifying desensitisation. Under certain conditions the content of desensitising agent (e.g. phlegmatiser, wetting agent or treatment) may decrease during supply and use, and thus, the hazard potential of the desensitised explosive may increase. In addition, the safety data sheet shall include advice on avoiding increased fire, blast or projection hazards when the substance or mixture is not sufficiently desensitised.

Note 2: Explosive properties of desensitised explosives shall be determined by test series 2 of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria, and shall be communicated in the safety data sheet. Note 3: For the purposes of storage, supply and use, desensitised explosives do not fall additionally within the scope of Sections 2.1 (explosives), 2.6 (flammable liquids) and 2.7 (flammable solids). 2.17.3.

The classification procedure for desensitised explosives does not apply if: (a) The substances or mixtures contain no explosives according to the criteria in Section 2.1; or (b) The exothermic decomposition energy is less than 300 J/g. 2.17.4.2. The exothermic decomposition energy shall be determined using the explosive already desensitised (i.e.: the homogenous solid or liquids mixture formed by the explosive and the substance(s) used to suppress its explosive properties). The exothermic decomposition energy may be estimated using a suitable calorimetric technique (see Section 20, sub-section 20.3.3.3 in Part II of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria).

1. Part 3 is amended as follows: (a) Section 3.1.1.1 is replaced by the following: 3.1.1.1. Acute toxicity means serious adverse health effects (i.e., lethality) occurring after a single or short-term oral, dermal or inhalation exposure to a substance or mixture. (b) In section 3.1.2.1, the introductory paragraph is replaced by the following: 3.1.2.1. Substances can be allocated to one of four hazard categories based on acute toxicity by the oral, dermal or inhalation route according to the numeric cut-off criteria as shown in the table below. Acute toxicity values are expressed as (approximate) LD50 (oral, dermal) or LC50 (inhalation) values or as acute toxicity estimates (ATE). While some in vivo methods determine LD50/LC50 values directly, other newer in vivo methods (e.g. using fewer animals) consider other indicators of acute toxicity, such as significant clinical signs of toxicity, which are used as a reference to assign the hazard category. Explanatory notes are shown following Table 3.1.1. (c) In section 3.1.2.1 the title of Table 3.1.1 is replaced by the following: Table 3.1.1 Acute toxicity estimate (ATE) values and criteria for acute toxicity hazard categories. (d) Section 3.2.1.1 is replaced by the following: 3.2.1.1. Skin corrosion means the production of irreversible damage to the skin; namely, visible necrosis through the epidermis and into the dermis occurring after exposure to a substance or mixture. Skin irritation means the production of reversible damage to the skin occurring after exposure to a substance or mixture. (e) Section 3.3.1.1 is replaced by the following: 3.3.1.1. Serious eye damage means the production of tissue damage in the eye, or serious physical decay of vision, which is not fully reversible, occurring after exposure of the eye to a substance or mixture. Eye irritation means the production of changes in the eye, which are fully reversible, occurring after the exposure of the eye to a substance or mixture. (f) Section 3.4.1.1 is replaced by the following: 3.4.1.1. Respiratory sensitisation means hypersensitivity of the airways occurring after inhalation of a substance or a mixture. (g) Section 3.4.1.2 is replaced by the following: 3.4.1.2. Skin sensitisation means an allergic response occurring after skin contact with a substance or a mixture. (h) Section 3.4.2.1.3.1 is replaced by the following: 3.4.2.1.3.1. Data from appropriate animal studies At present, recognised and validated animal models for the testing of respiratory hypersensitivity are not available. Under certain circumstances, data from animal studies may provide valuable information in a weight of evidence assessment. which may be indicative of the potential of a substance to cause sensitisation by inhalation in humans The mechanisms by which substances induce symptoms of asthma are not yet fully known. For preventative measures, these substances are considered respiratory sensitisers. However, if on the basis of the evidence, it can be demonstrated that these substances induce symptoms of asthma by irritation only in people with bronchial hyper-reactivity, they shall not be considered as respiratory sensitisers.

may include: (a) measurements of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) and other specific immunological parameters, for example in mice; (b) specific pulmonary responses in guinea pigs. (i) In section 3.4.3.3.2, Table 3.4.6, Note 1 is replaced by the following: Note 1: This concentration limit for elicitation is used for the application of the special labelling requirements of section 2.8 of Annex II to protect already sensitised individuals. A SDS is required for the mixture containing a component at or above this concentration. For sensitising substances with a specific concentration limit, the concentration limit for elicitation shall be set at a tenth of the specific concentration limit. (j) Section 3.5.1.1 is replaced by the following: 3.5.1.1. Germ cell mutagenicity means heritable gene mutations, including heritable structural and numerical chromosome aberrations in germ cells occurring after exposure to a substance or mixture. (k) Section 3.5.1.1 is renumbered as follows: 3.5.1.2. A mutation means a permanent change in the amount or structure of the genetic material in a cell. The term mutation applies both to heritable genetic changes that may be manifested at the phenotypic level and to the underlying DNA modifications when known (including specific base pair changes and chromosomal translocations). The term mutagenic and mutagen will be used for agents giving rise to an increased occurrence of mutations in populations of cells and/or organisms. (l) Section 3.5.1.2 is renumbered as follows: 3.5.1.3. The more general terms genotoxic and genotoxicity apply to agents or processes which alter the structure, information content, or segregation of DNA, including those which cause DNA damage by interfering with normal replication processes, or which in a non- physiological manner (temporarily) alter its replication. Genotoxicity test results are usually taken as indicators for mutagenic effects. (m) Section 3.5.2.3.5 is replaced by the following: 3.5.2.3.5. In vivo somatic cell mutagenicity tests, such as: mammalian bone marrow chromosome aberration test; mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test (n) Section 3.6.1.1 is replaced by the following: 3.6.1.1. Carcinogenicity means the induction of cancer or an increase in the incidence of cancer occurring after exposure to a substance or mixture. Substances and mixtures which have induced benign and malignant tumours in well performed experimental studies on animals are considered also to be presumed or suspected human carcinogens unless there is strong evidence that the mechanism of tumour formation is not relevant for humans. Classification of a substance or mixture as posing a carcinogenic hazard is based on its intrinsic properties and does not provide information on the level of the human cancer risk which the use of the substance or mixture may represent. (o) Section 3.7.1.1 is replaced by the following: 3.7.1.1. Reproductive toxicity means adverse effects on sexual function and fertility in adult males and females, as well as developmental toxicity in the offspring, occurring after exposure to a substance or mixture. The definitions presented below are adapted from those agreed as working definitions in IPCS/EHC Document No 225, Principles for Evaluating Health Risks to Reproduction Associated with Exposure to Chemicals. For classification purposes, the known induction of genetically based inheritable effects in the offspring is addressed in Germ Cell Mutagenicity (Section 3.5), since in the present classification system it is considered more appropriate to address such effects under the separate hazard class of germ cell mutagenicity.

In this classification system, reproductive toxicity is subdivided into two main headings: (a) adverse effects on sexual function and fertility; (b) adverse effects on development of the offspring. Some reproductive toxic effects cannot be clearly assigned to either impairment of sexual function and fertility or to developmental toxicity. Nonetheless, substances and mixtures with these effects shall be classified as reproductive toxicants with a general hazard statement. (p) Section 3.7.2.5.1 is replaced by the following: 3.7.2.5.1. A number of internationally accepted test methods are available; these include methods for developmental toxicity testing (e.g. OECD Test Guideline 414) and methods for one or two-generation toxicity testing (e.g. OECD Test Guidelines 415, 416, 443). (q) Section 3.8.1.1 is replaced by the following: 3.8.1.1. Specific target organ toxicity – single exposure means specific, non-lethal toxic effects on target organs occurring after a single exposure to a substance or mixture. All significant health effects that can impair function, both reversible and irreversible, immediate and/or delayed and not specifically addressed in sections 3.1 to 3.7 and 3.10 are included (see also section 3.8.1.6). (r) Section 3.8.3.4.1 is replaced by the following: 3.8.3.4.1. Where there is no reliable evidence or test data for the specific mixture itself, and the bridging principles cannot be used to enable classification, then classification of the mixture is based on the classification of the ingredient substances. In this case, the mixture shall be classified as a specific target organ toxicant (specific organ specified), following single exposure, when at least one ingredient has been classified as a Category 1 or Category 2 specific target organ toxicant (single exposure) and is present at or above the appropriate generic concentration limit as mentioned in Table 3.8.3 for Category 1 and 2 respectively. (s) In section 3.8.3.4, section 3.8.3.4.6 is added: 3.8.3.4.6. In cases where the additivity approach is used for Category 3 ingredients, the relevant ingredients of a mixture are those which are present in concentrations ≥ 1 % (w/w for solids, liquids, dusts, mists, and vapours and v/v for gases), unless there is a reason to suspect that an ingredient present at a concentration < 1 % is still relevant when classifying the mixture for respiratory tract irritation or narcotic effects. (t) Section 3.9.1.1 is replaced by the following: 3.9.1.1. Specific target organ toxicity-repeated exposure means specific toxic effects on target organs occurring after repeated exposure to a substances or mixture. All significant health effects that can impair function, reversible and irreversible, immediate and/or delayed are included. However, other specific toxic effects that are specifically addressed in sections 3.1 to 3.8 and 3.10 are not included here. (u) Section 3.9.3.4.1 is replaced by the following: 3.9.3.4.1. Where there is no reliable evidence or test data for the specific mixture itself, and the bridging principles cannot be used to enable classification, then classification of the mixture is based on the classification of the ingredient substances. In this case, the mixture shall be classified as a specific target organ toxicant (specific organ specified), following repeated exposure when at least one ingredient has been classified as a Category 1 or Category 2 specific target organ toxicant (repeated exposure) and is present at or above the appropriate generic concentration limit as laid out in Table 3.9.4 for Category 1 and 2 respectively.

(v) Section 3.10.1.3 is replaced by the following: 3.10.1.3. Aspiration hazard means severe acute effects such as chemical pneumonia, pulmonary injury or death occurring after aspiration of a substance or mixture. (w) In section 3.10.3.3 a new section is added: 3.10.3.3.1.1. The relevant ingredients of a mixture are those which are present in concentrations ≥ 1 %. (x) Section 3.10.3.3.1.1 is renumbered and replaced by the following: 3.10.3.3.1.2. A mixture is classified as Category 1 when the sum of the concentrations of Category 1 ingredients is ≥ 10 % and the mixture has a kinematic viscosity ≤ 20,5 mm2/s, measured at 40 °C. (y) Section 3.10.3.3.1.2 is renumbered and replaced by the following: 3.10.3.3.1.3. In the case of a mixture which separates into two or more distinct layers, the entire mixture is classified as Category 1 if in any distinct layer the sum of the concentrations of Category 1 ingredients is ≥ 10 %, and it has a kinematic viscosity ≤ 20,5 mm2/s, measured at 40 °C. 4. Part 4 is amended as follows: Section 4.1.3.5.5.3.1 is replaced by the following: 4.1.3.5.5.3.1. First, all components classified as Acute 1 are considered. If the sum of the concentrations (in %) of these components multiplied by their corresponding M-factors is ≥ 25 % the whole mixture is classified as Acute 1.

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