Annex I - part 3.1. - paragraph 3.1.2.1. and table 3.1.1. - rows 1 and 2
Annex I - part 3.1. - paragraph 3.1.2.1. and table 3.1.1. - rows 1 and 2
3.1.2.1. Substances can be allocated to one of fourive toxicity categories based on acute toxicity by the oral, route and to one of four toxicity categories based on acute toxicity by the dermal or inhalation route according to the numeric criteria shown in Table 3.1.1 below. Acute toxicity values are expressed as (approximate) LD50 (oral, dermal) or LC50 (inhalation) values or as acute toxicity estimates (ATE). Explanatory notes are shown following Table 3.1.1. Table 3.1.1. Acute toxicity hazard categories and acute toxicity estimates (ATE) defining the respective categories Exposure Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Category 4 Route Oral (mg/kg Category 5 Route Oral (mg/kg 2000 < ATE < bodyweight) 5 < ATE < 50 < ATE < 300 < ATE < 5000 ATE < 5 50 5 300 3200 2000 See Note (a) 0 See Note (a) See Note (ca) Notes to Table 3.1.1: (ca) Criteria for Category 5 are intended to enable the identification of substances which are of relatively low acute toxicity hazard but which under certain circumstances may present a danger to vulnerable populations. These substances are anticipated to have an oral LD50 in the range of 2000-5000 mg/kg bodyweight. The specific criteria for Category 5 are: (i) The substance is classified in this Category if reliable evidence is already available that indicates the LD50 to be in the range of Category 5 values or other animal studies or toxic effects in humans indicate a concern for human health of an acute nature. (ii) The substance is classified in this Category, through extrapolation, estimation or measurement of data, if assignment to a more hazardous category is not warranted, and: - reliable information is available indicating significant toxic effects in humans; or - any mortality is observed when tested up to Category 4 values by the oral, inhalation or dermal routes; or - where expert judgement confirms significant clinical signs of toxicity, when tested up to Category 4 values, except for diarrhoea, piloerection or an ungroomed appearance; or - where expert judgement confirms reliable information indicating the potential for significant acute effects from other animal studies. Recognising the need to protect animal welfare, testing in animals in Category 5 ranges is discouraged and should only be considered when there is a strong likelihood that results of such a test would be of direct relevance for the protection of human health.

Annex I - part 3.1. - paragraph 3.1.2.2.1a (new)
Annex I - part 3.1. - paragraph 3.1.2.2.1a (new)
3.1.2.2.1a. Category 5 is for chemicals which are of relatively low acute toxicity but which, under certain circumstances, may pose a hazard to vulnerable populations. Criteria for identifying substances in Category 5 are provided in addition to the table. These substances are anticipated to have an oral LD50 value in the range 2000 - 5000 mg/kg bodyweight. In light of animal welfare considerations, testing in animals in Category 5 ranges is discouraged and should only be considered when there is a strong likelihood that results of such testing would be of direct relevance for the protection of human health.

Note 1a: Category 5 is for mixtures which are of relatively low acute toxicity but which under certain circumstances may pose a hazard to vulnerable populations. These mixtures are anticipated to have an oral LD50 value in the range of 2000-5000 mg/kg bodyweight. In light of animal welfare considerations, testing in animals in Category 5 ranges is discouraged and should only be considered when there is a strong likelihood that results of such testing would be of direct relevance for the protection of human health.

3.1.4.1. Label elements shall be used for substances or mixtures meeting the criteria for classification in this hazard class in accordance with Table 3.1.3.
