You will learn how to:

    • Explain the what is meant by classification and why it is important to do
    • Outline the main difference between CLP and GHS (including the GHS hazard categories which have not currently been included in CLP)
    • 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)
    • Classify a mixture for each of the environmental hazard classes
