Note 1

In addition to classification for inhalation toxicity, if data are available that indicates that the mechanism of toxicity is corrosivity, the substance or mixture shall also be labelled as EUH071: ‘corrosive to the respiratory tract’ — see advice at 3.1.2.3.3. In addition to an appropriate acute toxicity pictogram, a corrosivity pictogram (used for skin and eye corrosivity) may be added together with the statement ‘corrosive to the respiratory tract’.

Note 2

In the event that an ingredient without any useable information at all is used in a mixture at a concentration of 1 % or greater, the mixture shall be labelled with the additional statement that ‘x percent of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown toxicity’ — see advice at 3.1.3.6.2.2.

3.1.4.2. The acute toxicity hazard statements differentiate the hazard based on the route of exposure. Communication of acute toxicity classification should also reflect this differentiation. If a substance or mixture is classified for more than one route of exposure then all relevant classifications should be communicated on the safety data sheet as specified in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and the relevant hazard communication elements included on the label as prescribed in section 3.1.3.2. If the statement ‘x % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute toxicity’ is communicated, as prescribed in section 3.1.3.6.2.2, then, in the information provided in the safety data sheet, it can also be differentiated based on the route of exposure. For example, ‘x % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute oral toxicity’ and ‘x % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute dermal toxicity’.
