Schedule 6     Classification of mixtures

regulation 5(1), definition GHS

1     Purpose of this Schedule

The tables in this Schedule replace some of the tables in the GHS.

Table 6.1     Classification of mixtures containing respiratory or skin sensitisers

Cut-off values/concentration limits of ingredients of a mixture classified as either a respiratory sensitiser or a skin sensitiser that would trigger classification of the mixture.

Item	Ingredient classification	Mixture classification
		Skin sensitiser	Respiratory sensitiser
		All physical states	Solid/liquid	Gas
1	Skin sensitiser Category 1	≥ 1.0%
2	Skin sensitiser Sub-category 1A	≥ 0.1%
3	Skin sensitiser Sub-category 1B	≥ 1.0%
4	Respiratory sensitiser Category 1		≥ 1.0%	≥ 0.2%
5	Respiratory sensitiser Sub-category 1A		≥ 0.1%	≥ 0.1%
6	Respiratory sensitiser Sub-category 1B		≥ 1.0%	≥ 0.2%

Note for table 6.1

Table 6.1 replaces table 3.4.5 in the GHS, p. 151.

Table 6.2     Classification of mixtures containing carcinogens

Cut-off values/concentration limits of ingredients of a mixture classified as a carcinogen that would trigger classification of the mixture.

Item	Ingredient classification	Mixture classification
		Category 1 carcinogen	Category 2 carcinogen
1	Category 1 carcinogen	≥ 0.1%
2	Category 2 carcinogen		≥ 1.0%

Notes for table 6.2

1     The concentration limits in table 6.2 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units).

2     Table 6.2 replaces table 3.6.1 in the GHS, p. 166.

Table 6.3     Classification of mixtures containing reproductive toxicants

Cut-off values/concentration limits of ingredients of a mixture classified as a reproductive toxicant or for effects on or via lactation that would trigger classification of the mixture.

Item	Ingredient classification	Mixture classification
		Category 1 reproductive toxicant	Category 2 reproductive toxicant	Additional category for effects on or via lactation
1	Category 1 reproductive toxicant	≥ 0.3%
2	Category 2 reproductive toxicant		≥ 3.0%
3	Additional category for effects on or via lactation			≥ 0.3%

Notes for table 6.3

1     The concentration limits in table 6.3 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units).

2     Table 6.3 replaces table 3.7.1 in the GHS, p. 180.

Table 6.4     Classification of mixtures containing specific target organ toxicants (single exposure)

Cut-off values/concentration limits of ingredients of a mixture classified as a specific target organ toxicant that would trigger classification of the mixture.

Item	Ingredient classification	Mixture classification
		Category 1	Category 2
1	Category 1 specific target organ toxicant	concentration ≥ 10%	1.0% ≤ concentration < 10%
2	Category 2 specific target organ toxicant		concentration ≥ 10%

Notes for table 6.4

1     The concentration limits in table 6.4 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units).

2     Table 6.4 replaces table 3.8.2 in the GHS, p. 192.

Table 6.5     Classification of mixtures containing specific target organ toxicants (repeated exposure)

Cut-off values/concentration limits of ingredients of a mixture classified as a specific target organ toxicant that would trigger classification of the mixture.

Item	Ingredient classification	Mixture classification
		Category 1	Category 2
1	Category 1 specific target organ toxicant	concentration ≥ 10%	1.0% ≤ concentration < 10%
2	Category 2 specific target organ toxicant		concentration ≥ 10%

Notes for table 6.5

1     The concentration limits in table 6.5 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units).

2     Table 6.5 replaces table 3.9.3 in the GHS, p. 203.
