PART A

Special provisions on the labelling of products containing asbestos

(1)	(2)
Reference Number and Directive Number	Designation of the Dangerous Substance, of the Groups of Dangerous Substances or of the Dangerous Preparation
Council Directive No. 83/478/EEC	1. All products containing asbestos or the packaging thereof shall bear a label as follows:
Council Directive No. 85/467/EEC	(a) the label conforming to the specimen below shall be at least 5cm high (H) and 2.5cm. wide (W);
(b) it shall consists of two parts:
	- the top part (H¹= 40% H) shall include the letter `a' in white, on a black background,
	- the bottom part (H²= 60% H) shall include the standard wording in white or black both, on a red background, and shall be clearly legible;
	(c) if the product contains crocidolite, the words "contains asbestos" used in the standard wording shall be replaced by "contains crocidolite/blue asbestos".
	(d) the Authority may exclude from the provision of (c) products containing crocidolite intended to be placed on the market, however the labelling of these products must bear the wording "contains asbestos".
	White 'a' on a black background
	Standard wording in white and/or black or both on a red background
	(e) if labelling takes the form of direct printing on the products, a single colour contrasting with the background colour is sufficient.

Reference Number and Directive Number	Designation of the Dangerous Substance, of the Groups of Dangerous Substances or of the Dangerous Preparation
Council Directive No. 83/478/EEC	2. The label mentioned in this Schedule shall be affixed in accordance with the following rules.
	(a) on each of the smallest units supplied;
	(b) if a product has asbestos-based components, it is sufficient for these components only to bear the label. The labelling may be dispensed with if smallness of size or unsuitability of packaging make it impossible for a label to be affixed to the component
	3. Labelling of packaged products containing asbestos.
	3.1 The following particulars shall appear on clearly legible and indelible labelling on the packaging of packaged products containing asbestos:
	(a) the symbol and relevant indications of danger in accordance with this Schedule:
	(b) safety instructions which must be selected in accordance with the particulars in this Schedule, to the extent that they are relevant for the particular product.
	Where additional safety information is provided on the packaging, this shall not weaken or contradict the particulars given in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph.
	3.2 Labelling in accordance with 3.1 shall be affected by means of:
	- a label firmly affixed to the packaging or
	- a label securely attached to the package, which may be a tie-on label, or
	- direct printing of the packaging.

Reference Number and Directive Number	Designation of the Dangerous Substance, of the Groups of Dangerous Substances or of the Dangerous Preparation
Council Directive No. 83/478/EEC	3.3 Products containing asbestos and which are packaged only in loose plastic wrapping or the like shall be regarded as packaged in products and shall be labelled in accordance with paragraph 3.2. If products are separated from such packages and placed on the market unpackaged, each of the smallest units supplied shall be accompanied by a handout with labelling in accordance with paragraph 3.1.
	4. Labelling of unpackaged products containing asbestos.
	For unpackaged products containing asbestos, labelling in accordance with paragraph 3.1. shall be effected by means of:
	- a label firmly affixed to the product containing asbestos,
	- a label securely attached to such product, which may be a tie-on label,
	- direct printing on the products,
	or, if the above mentioned is not reasonably practicable because of smallness of size of the product, the unsuitable nature of the properties of the product or certain technical difficulties, by means of a hand-out with labelling in accordance with paragraph 3.1.
Council Directive No. 83/478/EEC	5. Without prejudice to Community provisions on safety and hygiene at work, the label affixed to the product which may, in the context of its use, be processed or finished, shall be accompanied by any safety instructions which may be appropriate for the product concerned, and in particular by the following:
	- operate if possible out of doors or in a well-ventilated place,
	- preferably use hand tools or low-speed tools equipped, if necessary, with an appropriate dust-extraction facility. If high-speed tools are used, they should always be equipped with such a facility.
	- if possible, dampen before cutting or drilling,
	- dampen dust and place it in a properly closed receptacle and dispose of it safely.
	6. The labelling of any product intended for domestic use which is not covered by paragraph 5 and which is likely, during use, to release asbestos fibres should, if necessary, contain the following safety instruction: "replace when worn".
	7. The labelling shall be in the English language

PART B


Council Directive No. 85/467/EEC	Specific provisions relating to the labelling of products containing PCBs and PCTs

Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The purpose of these regulations is to implement Council Directive 76/769/EEC on the Marketing and Use of certain Dangerous Substances and Dangerous Preparations as amended by Directives 79/663/EEC, 82/806/EEC, 83/264/EEC, 83/478/EEC, 85/467/EEC, 89/677/EEC, 91/173/EEC, 91/338/EEC, 91/339/EEC, 91/659/EEC, 94/60/EEC, 97/10/EC, 97/16/EC, and 97/64/EC. They also implement certain of the provisions of Directive 91/157/EEC, which restricts the marketing of alkaline manganese batteries containing more than a prescribed level of mercury.

These regulations give effect to the requirements of Directive 76/769/EEC together with the requirements of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th Amendments of the Directive and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Adaptations to Technical Progress of Annex 1 of the Directive. The Directive and these Amendments were previously implemented by a single set of regulations, S.I. No. 79 of 1994 , which are now revoked.

The regulations additionally give effect to the 14th and 15th Amendments to Directive 76/769/EEC and the 3rd Adaptations to Technical Progress of Annex 1 of that Directive. The additional requirements represented by these Amendments relate to the following restrictions:

(i) restrictions on the marketing to the general public of products containing carcinogenic and mutagenic substances and substances toxic for reproduction. Special labelling requirements for such products are also imposed.

(ii) restrictions on the use of substances and preparations containing creosote and/or related substances for wood treatment if they contain over a certain level of benzo-a-pyrene and/or water extractable phenols. Special labelling requirements for such products are imposed. The marketing of wood treated with such substances and preparations is also restricted.

(iii) restrictions on the marketing of products containing specified chlorinated solvents to the general public, as specified in points 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40 in Schedule 1 of the regulations. Special labelling requirements for such products are also imposed.

(iv) restrictions on the use of hexachloroethane in the manufacturing or processing of non-ferrous metals.

All of the current requirements of Directive 76/769/EEC, as amended, are contained in the consolidated text of these regulations.

The Regulations lay down the restrictions and conditions which must be observed in the Marketing and Use of the Substances and Preparations listed in the First Schedule to the Regulations and specify the powers available to Inspectors in the enforcement of these conditions. The Regulations also specify labelling provisions for products containing asbestos. The regulations are enforced by the National Authority for Occupational Safety and Health and, in relation to the restriction of certain biocidal products, by the Department of Agriculture and Food.
