Schedule 6

Classification of Mixtures

Current

Regulation 5(1)

1.	Purpose of this Schedule
	The tables in this Schedule replace some of the tables in the GHS.
	Note
	See the definition of GHS in regulation 5(1).

Table 6.11.	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 Category 1	Respiratory sensitiser Category 1
		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

Table 6.1 replaces table 3.4.5 in the GHS, p. 159 and in GHS 3, 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
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. 174 and in GHS 3, 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.

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

Notes
	The concentration limits in table 6.3 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units).
	Table 6.3 replaces table 3.7.1 in the GHS, p. 187 and in GHS 3, 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.

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

Notes
	The concentration limits in table 6.4 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units).
	Table 6.4 replaces table 3.8.2 in the GHS, p. 197 and in GHS 3, 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.

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

Notes
	The concentration limits in table 6.5 apply to solids and liquids (w/w units) and gases (v/v units).
	Table 6.5 replaces table 3.9.3 in the GHS, p. 207 and in GHS 3, p. 203.
