- Aquatic toxicity (acute and chronic)
- Hazardous to the ozone layer
PART 3: The classification process
This section will look at the way in which classification is undertaken it will cover
- Harmonised classification Vs Self-classification - Where information on harmonised classifications is found and how it should be used. What is meant by self-classification and how this is accomplished
- Application of the hazard class criteria for classification - How the hazard criteria should be applied and things to consider. In addition, for mixtures: the use of existing data, bridging principles and concentration limits and calculation methods
- Multiplication factors (M-factors) and how these should be used
TRAINING RESOURCES FOR EACH COURSE INCLUDE:
- Course manual, complementing the live course and including practice questions and answers.
