Basic guidance to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures normally be subject to harmonised classification and labelling for all hazardous properties (CLP Article 36(2)). For further information see section 22 and section 24 of this guidance document. 38

Classifying mixtures Hazard communication Follow-up to classification REACH and EU downstream legislation Background In order to take full account of the work and experience accumulated under DSD, all previously harmonised DSD substance classifications have been translated into harmonised CLP classifications. The result of these translations is displayed in Table 3.1 of Annex VI to CLP, while Table 3.2 of Annex VI to CLP contains the original and non-translated Annex I to DSD up to and including the 29 th ATP (adaptation to technical progress). It is the intention of the Commission to include both the 30 th and 31 st ATP into Annex VI of the CLP Regulation through an ATP to the CLP Regulation. When preparing Table 3.1 of Annex VI to CLP, the classification according to the DSD criteria did sometimes not fully correspond to a classification according to the CLP criteria, in particular for physical hazards, acute toxicity and STOT repeated exposure. For the physical hazards, the “translations” shown in the table have been based on a re-evaluation of available data. For the relevant health hazards, substances have been given a CLP minimum classification. Manufacturers or importers should apply this classification, but must classify in a more severe hazard category in case they have further information which shows that this is more appropriate. The situations where other than the minimum classifications must be applied are set out in point 1.2.1 of Annex VI to CLP. In future, Table 3.1 will be updated when the Commission has decided on further harmonised classifications. Until 31 May 2015, a corresponding entry will also be added to Table 3.2. How to use the harmonised classifications You will find guidance on how to use the CLP harmonised classifications in Figure 8.1 below. Note that the minimum classification for a category is indicated by the reference * in Table 3.1 of Annex VI to CLP. Specific Concentration Limits (SCLs) that are lower or higher than the generic concentration limits defined in Annex I to CLP are included in the tables of Part 3 of Annex VI to CLP. This applies also to most of the SCLs that have previously been assigned under DSD. Substances with a harmonised classification for the aquatic environment may have been assigned an M-factor (multiplication factor) which is the equivalent to an SCL set for other hazard classes, see also Part 1.5 of Module 2. M-factors and SCLs are indicated in Table 3.1 of Annex VI in the same column. Where an asterisk (*) appears in this column, a respective concentration limit cannot 39
