1. Azodyes which, by reductive cleavage of one or more azo groups, may release one or more of the aromatic amines listed in Schedule M to these Regulations, in detectable concentrations, i.e. above 30 ppm in the finished articles or in the dyed parts thereof, according to the testing method established in accordance with Article 2(a) of Council Directive 76/769/EEC introduced by Council Directive 89/678/EEC7 , may not be used in textile and leather articles which may come into direct and prolonged contact with the human skin or oral cavity, such as:

- clothing, bedding, towels, hairpieces, wigs, hats, nappies and other sanitary items, sleeping bags,

- footwear, gloves, wristwatch straps, handbags, purses/wallets, briefcases, chair covers, purses worn round the neck,

By way of derogation, until 1 January 2005, this provision shall not apply to textile articles made of recycled fibres if the amines are released by residues deriving from previous dyeing of the same fibres and if the listed amines are released in concentrations below 70 ppm.

3. Azodyes, which are contained in the “List of azodyes” set out in Schedule M to these Regulations, may not be placed on the market or used for colouring textile and leather articles as a substance or constituent of preparations in concentrations higher than 0.1% by mass.

4. Not later than 11 September 2005, the Commission shall, in the light of new scientific knowledge, review the provisions on azocolourants.

Schedule D

Regulation 4 (1)(a)

“Schedule 3

Foreword

Explanations of column headings used in this Schedule

Substances:

The name is the same as that used for the substance in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC. Whenever possible dangerous substances are designated by their Einecs (European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances) or Elincs (European List of Notified Chemical Substances) names. Other entries not listed in Einecs or Elincs are designated using an internationally recognized chemical name (e.g. ISO, IUPAC). An additional common name is included in some cases.

Index number:

The index number is the identification code given to the substance in Annex I of Directive 67/548/EEC. Substances are listed in the Appendix according to this index number.

EC number:

For each substance listed in the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (Einecs) there is an identification code. The code starts at 200-001-8.

For each new substance notified under the Directive 67/548/EEC an identification code has been defined and published in the European List of Notified Chemical Substances (Elincs). The code starts at 400-010-9.

CAS number:

Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers have been defined for substances to help in their identification.

Notes:

Certain substances listed in this Schedule have been assigned notes. The full text of the notes can be found in the foreword to Annex I of Directive 67/548/EEC, as set out in Annex 1A to Commission Directive 2001/59/EC (OJ L225, 21.8.2001, p1). The notes to be taken into account for the purposes of these Regulations are as follows:

Note C:

Some organic substances may be marketed either in a specific isomeric form or as a mixture of several isomers.

In Annex I, to Directive 67/548/EECa general designation of the following type is sometimes used: “xylenol”.

In this case the manufacturer or any other person who markets such a substance must state on the label whether the substance is a specific isomer (a) or a mixture of isomers (b).

Example:                  (a) 2,4-dimethylphenol

(b) xylenol (mixture of isomers).

Note D:

Certain substances which are susceptible to spontaneous polymerisation or decomposition are generally placed on the market in a stabilised form. It is in this form that they are listed in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC.

However, such substances are sometimes placed on the market in a non-stabilised form. In this case, the manufacturer or any person who places such a substance on the market must state on the label the name of the substance followed by the words “non-stabilised”.

Example:                 methacrylic acid (non-stabilised).

Note E:

Substances with specific effects on human health (see Chapter 4 of Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC) that are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic and/or toxic for reproduction in categories 1 or 2 are ascribed Note E if they are also classified as very toxic (T+), toxic (T) or harmful (Xn). For these substances, the risk phrases R20, R21 R22, R23, R24, R25, R26, R27, R28, R39, R68 (harmful), R48 and R65 and all combinations of these risk phrases shall be preceded by the word “Also”.

Examples: R45-23              “May cause cancer. Also toxic by inhalation”

R46-27/28         “May cause heritable genetic damage. Also very toxic in contact with skin and if swallowed”.

Note J:

The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance contains less than 0,1 % w/w benzene (Einecs No 200-753-7). This note applies only to certain complex coal-and oil-derived substances.

Note K:

The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance contains less than 0,1 % w/w 1,3-butadiene (Einecs No 203-450-8). If the substance is not classified as a carcinogen, at least the S-phrases (2-)9-16 should apply. This note applies only to certain complex oil-derived substances.

Note L:

The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance contains less than 3 % DMSO extract as measured by IP 346. This note applies only to certain complex oil-derived substances.

Note M:

The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance contains less than 0,005 % w/w benzo[a]-pyrene (Einecs No 200-028-5). This note applies only to certain complex coal-derived substances.

Note N:

The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if the full refining history is known and it can be shown that the substance from which it is produced is not a carcinogen. This note applies only to certain complex oil-derived substances.

Note P:

The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance contains less than 0,1 % w/w benzene (Einecs No 200-753-7). When the substance is classified as a carcinogen, Note E shall also apply. When the substance is not classified as a carcinogen, at least the S-phrases (2-)23-24-62 should apply. This note applies only to certain complex oil-derived substances.

Note R:

The classification as a carcinogen need not apply to fibres with a length weighted geometric mean diameter, less two standard errors, greater than 6µm.

Note S:

This substance may not require a label according to Article 23 of Directive 67/548/EEC (see Section 8 of Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC as per Section 8 of Schedule 5 to the European Communities (Classification Packaging, Labelling and Notification of Dangerous Substances) Regulations 2003 ( S.I.
