Abstract This notification came into force on 1 Sep. 1993. It states the rules applying to the classification and coding of chemical products. In the annex are the details as to how to establish the correct codes (e.g. 2 - 3); the digit before the hyphen is related to the inhalation hazard of a vapour, calculated as a function of its density, evaporation speed and threshold level and the digit after the hyphen is related to the harmfulness of a product if it comes into contact with the skin or the eyes, or if it is accidentally ingested or inhaled. Notification is very closely related to notification of work with coded products (see CIS 94-16). A minor modification is introduced by Bekendtgørelse nr. 783 of 24 Sep. 1993 (one page).
