Preparing chemicals: determining the DPD classification

Editor's note

Directive 1999/45/EEC of May 31, 1999, describing the classification method for mixtures known as DPD, has been repealed with the full implementation of CLP Regulation 1272/2008. This classification is therefore no longer used in Europe.

The classification of your preparations enables the hazards associated with them to be identified and communicated. It is therefore important to establish it for the preparations you use or market.

• What documents will you use as a basis?

• How do you classify your preparations?

• How to use data on the hazardous properties of the preparation's constituents?
