PESTICIDES CONTAINING ONE ACTIVE SUBSTANCE. Pesticides containing onae active substance and one or more inert vehicles and/or adjuvants shall be classified by means
the following formula: Lx100 = A C where: L = oral LD50
the active substance in the rat, C = concentration
active substance in percentage by weight, A = value determining the classification
the pesticide in accordance with Article 3
ACTIVE SUBSTANCES WITH INDICATIONS
THEIR CONVENTIONAL LD50 AND LC50 VALUES. Explanatory notes: 1. The values in italics are those that are to be taken into consideration for the purpose
applying the formula. The other values are given for information in order to assign additional appropriate phrases indicating the nature
the special risk (R phrases) and safety advice (S phrases) that must appear on the label. 2. NR (not relevant). This indication means that the values are available but
no relevance for either the classification or the labelling

PESTICIDES CONTAINING MORE THAN ONE ACTIVE SUBSTANCE. 1. For the purpose
applying the method
calculation for the classification
pesticides which contain more than one active substance, the dangerous substances used in their preparation are divided into categories and sub-categories in accordance with the list in point 5. 2. The following formula shall be used for the classification
a pesticide: Where: P = the percentage by weight
each dangerous substance present in the pesticide; I = the distinguishing index
the sub-category to which each substance belongs. It is assigned for every percentage unit
the substance in question present in the pesticide. In particular, I breaks down into the following: I1: for classifying solid pesticides as toxic or harmful; I2: for classifying liquid or gaseous pesticides as toxic or harmful. The values
the indices I1 and I2 are given in the table below: Table
Classification Indices. Category to which the substance belongs Pesticide classification indices Solid Liquid or gaseous I1 (= conc.%) I2 (= conc.%) Category I I/a 500 (= 1%) 500 (= 1%) I/b 100 (= 5%) 125 (=4%) I/c 15 =( 33%) 25 (= 20%) Category II 11/a 5 (= 100%) 10 (= 50%) II/b 2 (= 100%) 4 (= 100%) II/c 1 (= 100%) 2 (= 100%) II/d 0.5 (= 100%) 1 (= 100%) 3. Pesticides containing one or more
the substances listed in point 5 are regarded as toxic if the sum
the products obtained by multiplying the percentage by weight P
the various substances present in the pesticide by the respective indices I1
I2 is greater than 500, i.e.: —for solid pesticides: —for liquid or gaseous pesticides: 4. Pesticides containing one or more
the substances listed in point 5 are regarded as harmful if the sum
the products referred to in point 3 is 500 or less, but greater than 25 for solid pesticides, or 500 or less, but greater than 40 for liquid or gaseous pesticides, i.e.: —for solid pesticides: —for liquid or gaseous pesticides: When the result
this calculation is 25 or less for a solid pesticide, or 40 or less for a liquid or gaseous one, the pesticide is not classified. 5. List
active substances, divided into classes and subclasses. The substances bearing the indication (NT) cannot be transferred into other classes. CLASS I/a.
