(31) Active oxygen  6.7%. 2009/89. szám 2.2.61 Class 6.1: Toxic substances 2.2.61.1 Criteria 2.2.61.1.1 The heading of Class 6.1 covers substances of which it is known by experience or regarding which it is presumed from experiments on animals that in relatively small quantities they are able by a single action or by action of short duration to cause damage to human health, or death, by inhalation, by cutaneous absorption or by ingestion. 2.2.61.1.2 Substances of Class 6.1 are subdivided as follows: T Toxic substances without subsidiary risk: T1 Organic, liquid; T2 Organic, solid; T3 Organometallic substances; T4 Inorganic, liquid; T5 Inorganic, solid; T6 Liquid, used as pesticides; T7 Solid, used as pesticides; T8 Samples; T9 Other toxic substances; TF Toxic substances, flammable: TF1 Liquid; TF2 Liquid, used as pesticides; TF3 Solid; TS Toxic substances, self-heating, solid; TW Toxic substances, which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases: TW1 Liquid; TW2 Solid; TO Toxic substances, oxidizing: TO1 Liquid; TO2 Solid; TC Toxic substances, corrosive: TC1 Organic, liquid; TC2 Organic, solid; TC3 Inorganic, liquid; TC4 Inorganic, solid; TFC Toxic substances, flammable, corrosive. Definitions 2.2.61.1.3 For the purposes of RID: LD50 (median lethal dose) for acute oral toxicity is the statistically derived single dose of a substance that can be expected to cause death within 14 days in 50 per cent of young adult albino rats when administered by the oral route. The LD50 value is expressed in terms of mass of test substance per mass of test animal (mg/kg); LD50 for acute dermal toxicity is that dose of the substance which, administered by continuous contact for 24 hours with the bare skin of albino rabbits, is most likely to cause death within 14 days in one half of the animals tested. The number of animals tested shall be sufficient to give a statistically significant result and be in conformity with good pharmacological practice. The result is expressed in milligrams per kg body mass; LC50 for acute toxicity on inhalation is that concentration of vapour, mist or dust which, administered by continuous inhalation to both male and female young adult albino rats for one hour, is most likely to cause death within 14 days in one half of the animals tested. A solid substance shall be tested if at least 10% (by mass) of its total mass is likely to be dust in a respirable range, e.g. the aerodynamic diameter of that particle-fraction is 10 ȝm or less. A liquid substance shall be tested if a mist is likely to be generated in a leakage of the transport containment. Both for solid and liquid substances more than 90% (by mass) of a specimen prepared for inhalation toxicity shall be in the respirable range as defined above. The result is expressed in milligrams per litre of air for dusts and mists or in millilitres per cubic metre of air (parts per million) for vapours. 2009/89. szám Classification and assignment of packing groups 2.2.61.1.4 Substances of Class 6.1 shall be classified in three packing groups according to the degree of danger they present for carriage, as follows: Packing group I: highly toxic substances Packing group II: toxic substances Packing group III: slightly toxic substances. 2.2.61.1.5 Substances, mixtures, solutions and articles classified in Class 6.1 are listed in Table A of Chapter 3.2. The assignment of substances, mixtures and solutions not mentioned by name in Table A of Chapter 3.2 to the relevant entry of 2.2.61.3 and to the relevant packing group in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 2.1, shall be made according to the following criteria in 2.2.61.1.6 to 2.2.61.1.11. 2.2.61.1.6 To assess the degree of toxicity, account shall be taken of human experience of instances of accidental poisoning, as well as special properties possessed by any individual substances: liquid state, high volatility, any special likelihood of cutaneous absorption, and special biological effects. 2.2.61.1.7 In the absence of observations on humans, the degree of toxicity shall be assessed using the available data from animal experiments in accordance with the table below: Packing group Oral toxicity LD50 (mg/kg) Dermal toxicity LD50 (mg/kg) Inhalation toxicity by dusts and mists LC50 (mg/l) Highly toxic I  5  50  0.2 Toxic II > 5 and  50 > 50 and  200 > 0.2 and  2 Slightly toxic III(a) > 50 and  300 > 200 and  1 000 > 2 and  4 (a) Tear gas substances shall be included in packing group II even if data concerning their toxicity correspond to packing group III criteria. 2.2.61.1.7.1 Where a substance exhibits different degrees of toxicity for two or more kinds of exposure, it shall be classified under the highest such degree of toxicity. 2.2.61.1.7.2 Substances meeting the criteria of Class 8 and with an inhalation toxicity of dusts and mists (LC50) leading to packing group I shall only be accepted for an allocation to Class 6.1 if the toxicity through oral ingestion or dermal contact is at least in the range of packing groups I or II. Otherwise an assignment to Class 8 shall be made if appropriate (see 2.2.8.1.5). 2.2.61.1.7.3 The criteria for inhalation toxicity of dusts and mists are based on LC50 data relating to 1-hour exposure, and where such information is available it shall be used. However, where only LC50 data relating to 4-hour exposure are available, such figures can be multiplied by four and the product substituted in the above criteria, i.e. LC50 value multiplied by four (4 hour) is considered the equivalent of LC50 (1 hour). Inhalation toxicity of vapours 2.2.61.1.8 Liquids giving off toxic vapours shall be classified into the following groups where "V" is the saturated vapour concentration (in ml/m3 of air) (volatility) at 20 °C and standard atmospheric pressure: Packing group Highly toxic I Where V  10 LC50 and LC50  1 000 ml/m3 Toxic II Where V  LC50 and LC50  3 000 ml/m3 and the criteria for packing group I are not met Slightly toxic III(a) Where V  1/5 LC50 and LC50  5 000 ml/m3 and the criteria for packing groups I and II are not met (a) Tear gas substances shall be included in packing group II even if data concerning their toxicity correspond to packing group III criteria. These criteria for inhalation toxicity of vapours are based on LC50 data relating to 1-hour exposure, and where such information is available, it shall be used. 2009/89. szám However, where only LC50 data relating to 4-hour exposure to the vapours are available, such figures can be multiplied by two and the product substituted in the above criteria, i.e. LC50 (4 hour) × 2 is considered the equivalent of LC50 (1 hour). Group borderlines inhalation toxicity of vapours In this figure, the criteria are expressed in graphical form, as an aid to easy classification. However, due to approximations inherent in the use of graphs, substances falling on or near group borderlines shall be checked using numerical criteria. Mixtures of liquids 2.2.61.1.9 Mixtures of liquids which are toxic on inhalation shall be assigned to packing groups according to the following criteria: 2.2.61.1.9.1 If LC50 is known for each of the toxic substances constituting the mixture, the packing group may be determined as follows: (a) Calculation of the LC50 of the mixture: LC50 (mixture) = f LC i i i n ¦ where fi = molar fraction of constituent i of the mixture; LC50i = average lethal concentration of constituent i in ml/m3. Volatility ml/m LC50 ml/m Not dangerous for transport Packing group III Packing group II Packing group I 2009/89. szám (b) Calculation of volatility of each mixture constituent: Vi = Pi x . (ml/m3) where Pi = partial pressure of constituent i in kPa at 20 °C and at standard atmospheric pressure. (c) Calculation of the ratio of volatility to LC50: R = V LC i i i n ¦ (d) The values calculated for LC50 (mixture) and R are then used to determine the packing group of the mixture: Packing group I: R t 10 and LC50 (mixture) d 1 000 ml/m3; Packing group II: R  1 and LC50 (mixture) d 3 000 ml/m3, if the mixture does not meet the criteria for packing group I; Packing group III: R t 1/5 and LC50 (mixture) d 5 000 ml/m3, if the mixture does not meet the criteria of packing groups I or II. 2.2.61.1.9.2 In the absence of LC50 data on the toxic constituent substances, the mixture may be assigned to a group based on the following simplified threshold toxicity tests. When these threshold tests are used, the most restrictive group shall be determined and used for carrying the mixture. 2.2.61.1.9.3 A mixture is assigned to packing group I only if it meets both of the following criteria: (a) A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to create a test atmosphere of 1 000 ml/m3 vaporized mixture in air. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 1 000 ml/m3; (b) A sample of vapour in equilibrium with the liquid mixture is diluted with 9 equal volumes of air to form a test atmosphere. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have a volatility equal to or greater than 10 times the mixture LC50. 2.2.61.1.9.4 A mixture is assigned to packing group II only if it meets both of the following criteria, and does not meet the criteria for packing group I: (a) A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to create a test atmosphere of 3 000 ml/m3 vaporized mixture in air. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 3 000 ml/m3; (b) A sample of the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid mixture is used to form a test atmosphere. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have a volatility equal to or greater than the mixture LC50. 2.2.61.1.9.5 A mixture is assigned to packing group III only if it meets both of the following criteria, and does not meet the criteria for packing groups I or II: (a) A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to create a test atmosphere of 5 000 ml/m3 vaporized mixture in air. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 5 000 ml/m3; (b) The vapour concentration (volatility) of the liquid mixture is measured and if the vapour concentration is equal to or greater than 1 000 ml/m3, the mixture is presumed to have a volatility equal to or greater than 1/5 the mixture LC50. Methods for determining oral and dermal toxicity of mixtures 2.2.61.1.10 When classifying and assigning the appropriate packing group to mixtures in Class 6.1 in accordance with the oral and dermal toxicity criteria (see 2.2.61.1.3), it is necessary to determine the acute LD50 of the mixture. 2.2.61.1.10.1 If a mixture contains only one active substance, and the LD50 of that constituent is known, in the absence of reliable acute oral and dermal toxicity data on the actual mixture to be carried, the oral or dermal LD50 may be obtained by the following method: mass by substance active of percentage substance active of value LD n preparatio of value LD u 2009/89. szám 2.2.61.1.10.2 If a mixture contains more than one active constituent, there are three possible approaches that may be used to determine the oral or dermal LD50 of the mixture. The preferred method is to obtain reliable acute oral and dermal toxicity data on the actual mixture to be carried. If reliable, accurate data are not available, then either of the following methods may be performed: (a) Classify the formulation according to the most hazardous constituent of the mixture as if that constituent were present in the same concentration as the total concentration of all active constituents; or (b) Apply the formula: M Z Z B B A A T T C ... T C T C    where: C = the percentage concentration of constituent A, B, ..., Z in the mixture; T = the oral LD50 values of constituent A, B, ... Z; TM = the oral LD50 value of the mixture. NOTE: This formula can also be used for dermal toxicities, provided that this information is available on the same species for all constituents. The use of this formula does not take into account any potentiation or protective phenomena. Classification of pesticides 2.2.61.1.11 All active pesticide substances and their preparations for which the LC50 and/or LD50 values are known and which are classified in Class 6.1 shall be classified under appropriate packing groups in accordance with the criteria given in 2.2.61.1.6 to 2.2.61.1.9. Substances and preparations which are characterized by subsidiary risks shall be classified according to the precedence of hazard Table in 2.1.3.10 with the assignment of appropriate packing groups. 2.2.61.1.11.1 If the oral or dermal LD50 value for a pesticide preparation is not known, but the LD50 value of its active substance(s) is known, the LD50 value for the preparation may be obtained by applying the procedures in 2.2.61.1.10. NOTE: LD50 toxicity data for a number of common pesticides may be obtained from the most current edition of the document "The WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard and Guidelines to Classification" available from the International Programme on Chemical Safety, World Health Organisation (WHO), 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland. While that document may be used as a source of LD50 data for pesticides, its classification system shall not be used for purposes of transport classification of, or assignment of packing groups to, pesticides, which shall be in accordance with the requirements of RID. 2.2.61.1.11.2 The proper shipping name used in the carriage of the pesticide shall be selected on the basis of the active ingredient, of the physical state of the pesticide and any subsidiary risks it may exhibit (see 3.1.2). 2.2.61.1.12 If substances of Class 6.1, as a result of admixtures, come into categories of risk different from those to which the substances mentioned by name in Table A of Chapter 3.2 belong, these mixtures or solutions shall be assigned to the entries to which they belong on the basis of their actual degree of danger. NOTE: For the classification of solutions and mixtures (such as preparations and wastes), see also 2.1.3. 2.2.61.1.13 On the basis of the criteria of 2.2.61.1.6 to 2.2.61.1.11, it may also be determined whether the nature of a solution or mixture mentioned by name or containing a substance mentioned by name is such that the solution or mixture is not subject to the requirements for this Class. 2.2.61.1.14 Substances, solutions and mixtures, with the exception of substances and preparations used as pesticides, which do not meet the criteria of Directives 67/548/EEC3 or 1999/45/EC4 as amended and which are not therefore classified as highly toxic, toxic or harmful according to these directives, as amended, may be considered as substances not belonging to Class 6.1. 2.2.61.2 Substances not accepted for carriage 2.2.61.2.1 Chemically unstable substances of Class 6.1 shall not be accepted for carriage unless the necessary steps have been taken to prevent their dangerous decomposition or polymerization during carriage. To this end, it Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (Official Journal of the European Communities No. L 196 of 16 August 1967, page 1). Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 1999 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations (Official Journal of the European Communities No. L 200 of 30 July 1999, pages 1 to 68). 2009/89. szám shall in particular be ensured that receptacles and tanks do not contain any substance(s) likely to cause such a reaction. 2.2.61.2.2 The following substances and mixtures shall not be accepted for carriage: – Hydrogen cyanide, anhydrous or in solution, which do not meet the descriptions of UN Nos. 1051, 1613, 1614 and 3294; – Metal carbonyls, having a flash-point below 23 °C, other than UN Nos. 1259 NICKEL CARBONYL and 1994 IRON PENTACARBONYL; – 2,3,7,8-TETRACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXINE (TCDD) in concentrations considered highly toxic in accordance with the criteria in 2.2.61.1.7; – UN No. 2249 DICHLORODIMETHYL ETHER, SYMMETRICAL; – Preparations of phosphides without additives inhibiting the emission of toxic flammable gases.

In the case of radioactive decay chains in which any daughter nuclide has a half-life either longer than 10 days or greater than that of the parent nuclide, the parent and such daughter nuclides shall be considered as mixtures of different nuclides. 2.2.7.2.2.4 For mixtures of radionuclides, the determination of the basic radionuclide values referred to in 2.2.7.2.2.1 may be determined as follows: ¦ i m )i( X )i(f X where f(i) is the fraction of activity or activity concentration of radionuclide i in the mixture; X(i) is the appropriate value of A1 or A2, or the activity concentration for exempt material or the activity limit for an exempt consignment as appropriate for the radionuclide i; and Xm is the derived value of A1 or A2, or the activity concentration for exempt material or the activity limit for an exempt consignment in the case of a mixture. 2.2.7.2.2.5 When the identity of each radionuclide is known but the individual activities of some of the radionuclides are not known, the radionuclides may be grouped and the lowest radionuclide value, as appropriate, for the radionuclides in each group may be used in applying the formulas in 2.2.7.2.2.4 and 2.2.7.2.4.4.
