THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification,                           labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending                           Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006(1), and in particular Article 53 thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 harmonises the provisions and criteria for the classification and labelling of substances, mixtures                              and certain specific articles within the Union.

(2)That Regulation takes into account the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (hereinafter                              ‘GHS’) of the United Nations (UN).

(3)The classification criteria and labelling rules of the GHS are periodically reviewed at UN level. The fourth revised edition                              of the GHS results from changes adopted in December 2010 by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous                              Goods and on the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. It contains amendments concerning,                              inter alia, new hazard categories for chemically unstable gases and non-flammable aerosols and further rationalisation of                              precautionary statements. It is therefore necessary to adapt the technical provisions and criteria in the Annexes to Regulation                              (EC) No 1272/2008 to the fourth revised edition of the GHS.

(4)The GHS allows authorities to adopt labelling derogations for substances or mixtures classified as corrosive to metals but                              not corrosive to skin and/or eyes. It also allows the possibility to omit certain label elements from the packaging where                              the volume of the substance or mixture is below a certain amount. Provisions should be included to implement those measures                              at the Union level.

(5)The terminology of different provisions in the Annexes and certain technical criteria should also be amended to facilitate                              implementation by operators and enforcement authorities, to improve consistency of the legal text and to enhance clarity.

(6)To ensure that suppliers of substances can adapt to the new classification, labelling and packaging provisions introduced                              by this Regulation, a transitional period should be provided and the application of this Regulation should be deferred. This                              should allow for the possibility to apply the provisions laid down in this Regulation on a voluntary basis before the transitional                              period is over.

(7)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article                              133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2),

### ‘2.2.**Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases)**

#### 2.2.1.***Definitions***

##### 2.2.1.1.Flammable gas means a gas or gas mixture having a flammable range with air at 20 °C and a standard pressure of 101,3 kPa.

##### 2.2.1.2.A chemically unstable gas means a flammable gas that is able to react explosively even in the absence of air or oxygen.

#### 2.2.2.***Classification criteria***

##### 2.2.2.1.A flammable gas shall be classified in this class in accordance with Table 2.2.1:

##### 2.2.2.2.A flammable gas that is also chemically unstable shall additionally be classified in one of the two categories for chemically                                             unstable gases using the methods described in Part III of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria according to the following                                             table:

#### 2.2.3.***Hazard Communication***

Label elements shall be used for substances and mixtures meeting the criteria for classification in this hazard class in accordance                                          with Table 2.2.3.                                    

##### *Table 2.2.3*

**Label elements for flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases)**

The classification procedure is set out in the following decision logic (see Figures 2.2.1 to 2.2.2).                                    

*Figure 2.2.1*

**Flammable gases**

*Figure 2.2.2*

**Chemically unstable gases**

#### 2.2.4.***Additional Classification Considerations***

##### 2.2.4.1.Flammability shall be determined by tests or, for mixtures where there are sufficient data available, by calculation in accordance                                             with the methods adopted by ISO (see ISO 10156 as amended, Gases and gas mixtures — Determination of fire potential and oxidising                                             ability for the selection of cylinder valve outlet). Where insufficient data are available to use these methods, test method                                             EN 1839 as amended (Determination of explosion limits of gases and vapours) may be used.

If the calculations in accordance with ISO 10156 as amended show that a gas mixture is not flammable it is not                                             necessary to carry out the tests for determining chemical instability for classification purposes.

### 2.3.**Aerosols**

#### 2.3.1.***Definitions***

Aerosols, this means aerosol dispensers, are any non-refillable receptacles made of metal, glass or plastics and containing                                          a gas compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure, with or without a liquid, paste or powder, and fitted with a release                                          device allowing the contents to be ejected as solid or liquid particles in suspension in a gas, as a foam, paste or powder                                          or in a liquid state or in a gaseous state.                                    

#### 2.3.2.***Classification criteria***

##### 2.3.2.1.Aerosols shall be considered for classification as flammable in accordance with section 2.3.2.2 if they contain any component                                             which is classified as flammable according to the following criteria set out in this Part:

                      -  Liquids with a flash point ≤ 93 °C, which includes Flammable Liquids according to section 2.6;                                           
                      -  Flammable gases (see section 2.2);

###### *Note 1:*

Flammable components do not cover pyrophoric, self-heating or water-reactive substances and mixtures because such components                                          are never used as aerosol contents.                                    

###### *Note 2:*

Aerosols do not fall additionally within the scope of sections 2.2 (flammable gases), 2.5 (gases under pressure), 2.6 (flammable                                          liquids) and 2.7 (flammable solids). Depending on their contents, aerosols may however fall within the scope of other hazard                                          classes, including their labelling elements.                                    

##### 2.3.2.2.An aerosol shall be classified in one of the three categories for this Class on the basis of its components, of its chemical                                             heat of combustion and, if applicable, of the results of the foam test (for foam aerosols) and of the ignition distance test                                             and enclosed space test (for spray aerosols) in accordance with Figures 2.3.1(a) to 2.3.1(c) of this Annex and subsections                                             31.4, 31.5 and 31.6 of Part III of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria. Aerosols which do not meet the criteria for                                             inclusion in Category 1 or Category 2 shall be classified in Category 3.

###### *Note:*

Aerosols containing more than 1 % flammable components or with a heat of combustion of at least 20 kJ/g, which are not submitted                                          to the flammability classification procedures in this section shall be classified as aerosols, Category 1.

Communication of acute toxicity                                             classification should also reflect this differentiation. If a substance or mixture is classified for more than one route of                                             exposure then all relevant classifications should be communicated on the safety data sheet as specified in Annex II to Regulation                                             (EC) No 1907/2006 and the relevant hazard communication elements included on the label as prescribed in section 3.1.3.2. If                                             the statement “x % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute toxicity” is communicated, as prescribed in section                                             3.1.3.6.2.2, then, in the information provided in the safety data sheet, it can also be differentiated based on the route                                             of exposure. For example, “x % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute oral toxicity” and “x % of the mixture                                             consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute dermal toxicity”.’;
