Final Report EASA_REP_RESEA_2015_2 Research Project: Characterisation of the toxicity of aviation turbine engine oils after pyrolysis ©/all rights EASA 2015 "Appendix 6 Classification of chemicals list The following table describes the hazard profile of the list of compounds (Table 5.6) identified under both nitrogen and oxygen conditions, in all oils and during different flight stages. The hazard profile, or classification, of a substance is an indication of its intrinsic toxicity. A substance is classified, e.g. assigned a notation for a specific toxicity, according to an internationally agreed classification criteria. The classification can distinguishes between the various types of toxicity (reprotoxic, carcinogenic, irritant), the potency (4 (less potent) =>1 (most potent), the frequency needed to exert the toxicity (Single Exposure (SE) vs Repeated Exposure (RE)) and the level of evidence (1A, 1B and 2) available (for more information, see the Guidance on the criteria for Classification and Labelling under REACH). In most cases, the manufacture or importer classifies the substance without any review by an independent organisation, the so-called self-classification. Different manufacturers classify the same substance differently. Harmonized classification means the classification is agreed upon in a scientific committee and that classification is mandatory for every manufacturer or importer. The substances are run through the Classification and Labelling database of the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) database. This database contains all classification and labelling information on notified and registered substances received from manufacturers and importers in the European Union. Manufacturers and importers need to notify a substance to the Classification and Labelling (C&L) Inventory if they intent to place the substance on the EU market. " (©source) go to EASA |
