- Explain what is meant by harmonised classification and self-classification
- Explain what is meant by bridging principles and how these are used
- Explain when existing mixture test data can be used and the scenario where it should not be used, and the reason for this
- Explain the differences between aquatic acute toxicity and chronic acute toxicity hazard class and what is meant by ‘category’
- Explain how multiplication factors are derived and when they should be used
- Explain the differences between generic cut off limits, specific concentration limits and generic concentration limits and how these are used
- Outline important considerations when choosing data for classification purposes (including the types of data which could be used)
