TPA 19 (UE regulation 2023/1434)
These are Notes 11 and 12 relating to the additivity of the danger for the lightness of reproduction. Note 11 is specific to Borates and Note 12 applies to 2-EHA and may also be assigned to other substances. These notes inform us that the classification of mixtures as toxic for reproduction is mandatory when the sum of the concentrations of the different substances in the mixture placed on the market is equal to or greater than 0.3%. Note X applicable to 2-EHA indicates that the classification is only based on the dangerous properties related to the common structure of the substances. The substances covered by this note must therefore be self-classified in order to take into account the dangers linked to structural functions. |
