ICOUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 27 July 1976
on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member
States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and
preparations
(76/769/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMU-
NITIES,
Having regard to the T reaty establishing the European
Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 there
of,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament
(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee(2),
Whereas any rules concerning the placing on the market of
dangerous substances and preparations must aim at pro-
tecting the public, and particular persons using such sub-
stances and preparations;
Whereas they should contribute to the protection of the
environment from all substances and preparations which
have characteristics of ecotoxicity or which could pollute
the environment;
Whereas they should also aim to restore, preserve and im-
prove the quality of human life;
Whereas dangerous substances and preparations are gov-
erned by rules in the Member States; whereas these rules
differ as to the conditions of their marketing and use;
whereas these differences constitute an obstacle to trade
and directly affect the establishment and functioning of the
common market;
Whereas this obstacle should therefore be removed; where-
as this entails approximating the laws governing the matter
in the Member States;
Whereas provisions relating to certain dangerous sub-
stances and preparations have already been laid down in
Community Directives; whereas it is still necessary to es-
tablish rules for other products, in particular for those in
respect of which international organizations have decided
on restrictions such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), a
decision restricting the production and use of which was
adopted by the Council of the OECD on 13 February
1973; whereas such a measure is necessary to prevent the
absorption of PCB by the human body and the resultant
danger to human health;
Whereas detailed examinations have shown that polychlori-
nated terphenyls (PCT) entail risks similar to those pres-
ented by PCBs; whereas the marketing and use of such
substances should also be restricted;
Whereas it will be necessary, moreover, periodically to re-
view the whole problem with a view to moving gradually
towards a complete ban on PCBs and PCTs;

pounds as they occur in the natural state or as pro-duced by industry;
(b) ‘preparations’ means mixtures or solutions composed
of two or more substances.
Article 2
Member States shall take all neccessary (SIC! necessary)
measures to ensure that the dangerous substances and
preparations listed in the Annex may only be placed on
the market or used subject to the conditions specified
therein. Such restrictions shall not apply to marketing or
use for Research and Development or analysis purposes.
Article 2a
Amendments required to adapt the Annexes to technical
progress, with regard to the substances and preparations
already covered by the Directive, shall be adopted in ac-
cordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 of
Directive 67/548/EEC(3),a sl a s ta m e n d e db yD e c i s i o n
88/490/EEC(4).

37ANNEX II
A. Special provisions on the labelling of products contain-
ing asbestos
1. All products containing asbestos or the packaging
thereof shall bear the label defined as follows
(a) the label conforming to the specimen below shall
be at least 5 cm high (H) and 2,5 cm wide;
(b) it shall consist of two parts:
—t h e t o p p a r t ( h 1=4 0%H )s h a l li n c l u d e
the letter ’a’ in white, on a black back-
ground,
— the bottom part (h 2=6 0%H )s h a l li n c l u d e
the standard wording in white and/or black,
on a red background, and shall be clearly
legible;
(c) if the product contains crocidolite, the words
‘contains asbestos’ used in the standard wordingshall be replaced by ‘contains crocidolite/blue as-
bestos’.
Member States may exclude from the provision
of the first subparagraph hereof products in-
tended to be placed on the market in their terri-
tory. The labelling of these products must how-
ever bear the wording ‘contains asbestos’;
83/478
85/467
76/769/EEC - - - I
38(d) if labelling takes the form of direct printing on
the products, a single colour contrasting with the
background colour is sufficient.
2. The label mentioned in this Annex 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 leg-
ible and indelible labelling on the packaging of pack-
aged products containing asbestos:
(a) the symbol and relevant indications of danger in
accordance with this Annex;
(b) safety instructions which must be selected in ac-
cordance with the particulars in this Annex, inas-
much as 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 (a) and (b).
3.2. Labelling in accordance with 3.1 shall be effected by
means of:
— a label firmly affixed to the packaging, or
— a (tie-on) label securely attached to the package,
or
— direct printing of the packaging.
3.3. Products containing asbestos and which are packaged
only in loose plastic wrapping or the like shall be re-
garded as packaged products and shall be labelled in
accordance with 3.2. If products are separated from
such packages and placed on the market unpackaged,
each of the smallest units supplied shall be accompa-
nied by labelling particulars in accordance with 3.1.
4. Labelling of unpackaged products containing asbestos
For unpackaged products containing asbestos, label-
ling in accordance with 3.1 shall be effected by means
of:
— a label firmly affixed to the product containing
asbestos,83/478
76/769/EEC - - - I
39— a (tie-on) label securely attached to such prod-
uct,
— direct printing on the products,
or, if the abovementioned is not reasonably practi-
cable as in the case of, for example, smallness of size
of the product, the unsuitable nature of the product’s
properties or certain technical difficulties by means of
a hand-out with labelling in accordance with 3.1.
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, should be accompanied by any safety instruc-
tions which may be appropriate for the product con-
cerned, 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 facil-
ity,
— 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 5 and which is likely,
during use, to release asbestos fibres should, if necess-
ary, contain the following safety instruction: ‘replace
when worn’.
7. Member States may make the placing on the market
in their territory of products containing asbestos sub-
ject to the use of their official language or languages
on the labelling.
B. Specific provisions relating to the labelling of products
containing PCBs and PCTs
Without prejudice to the provisions of other Directives re-
lating to the labelling of dangerous substances and prep-
arations, Member States may require equipment and plant
containing PCBs or PCTs also to display instructions con-
cerning the disposal of PCBs and PCTs and the mainten-
ance and use of equipment and plant containing them.
These instructions must be capable of being read horizon-
tally when the object containing the PCBs or PCTs is in-
stalled in the normal way. The inscription must stand out
clearly from its background.83/478
85/467
76/769/EEC - - - I
40Member States may require the inscription to be in a lan-
guage which is understood in their territory.85/647
