9. DANGEROUS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT risk phrases: (i) R50: “Very toxic to aquatic organisms” (including R50/53) (ii) R51/53: “Toxic to aquatic organisms; may cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment” 10. ANY CLASSIFICATION not covered by those given above in combination with risk phrases: 100 200 200 500 (i) R14: “Reacts violently with water” (including R14/15) 100 500 (ii) R29: “in contact with water, liberates toxic gas” 50 200 NOTES 1. Substances and preparations are classified according to the following Directives (as amended) and their current adaptation to technical progress: - Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances ( 1 ), - Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 1999 concerning the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations ( 2 ) In the case of substances and preparations which are not classified as dangerous according to either of the above Directives, for example waste, but which nevertheless are present, or are likely to be present, in an establishment and which possess or are likely to possess, under the conditions found at the establishment, equivalent properties in terms of major-accident potential, the procedures for provisional classification shall be followed in accordance to the relevant article of the appropriate Directive. In the case of substances and preparations with properties giving rise to more than one classification, for the purposes of this Directive the lowest qualifying quantities shall apply. However, for the application of the rule in Note 4, the qualifying quantity used shall always be the one corresponding to the classification concerned. 78
For the purposes of this Directive, the Commission shall establish and keep up to date a list of substances which have been classified in the above categories by a harmonised Decision in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC. 2. An ‘explosive’ means: - a substance or preparation which creates the risk of an explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition (risk phrase R 2), - a substance or preparation which creates extreme risks of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition (risk phrase R 3), or - a substance, preparation or article covered by Class 1 of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (UN/ADR), concluded on 30 September 1957, as amended, as transposed by Council Directive 94/55/EC of 21 November 1994 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States with regard to the transport of dangerous goods by road ( 3 ). Included in this definition are pyrotechnics, which for the purposes of this Directive are defined as substances (or mixtures of substances) designated to produce heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a combination of such effects through self-sustained exothermic chemical reactions. Where a substance or preparation is classified by both UN/ADR and risk phase R2 or R3, the UN/ADR classification shall take precedence over assignment of risk phrases. Substances and articles of Class 1 are classified in any of the divisions 1.1 to 1.6 in accordance with the UN/ADR classification scheme. The divisions concerned are: Division 1.1: Substances and articles which have a mass explosion hazard (a mass explosion is an explosion which affects almost the entire load virtually instantaneously). Division 1.2: Substances and articles which have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard. Division 1.3: Substances and articles which have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard: (a) combustion of which gives rise to considerable radiant heat: or (b) which burns one after another, producing minor blast or projection effects or both. 79
