2.1. The objective of the hazard assessment for physicochemical properties shall be to determine the classification of a substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
2.2. As a minimum, the potential effects to human health shall be assessed for the following physicochemical properties:
— explosivity,
— flammability,
— oxidising potential.

If the information is inadequate to decide whether a substance should be classified for a particular hazard class or category, the registrant shall indicate and justify the action or decision he has taken as a result.
