Non-lethal irreversible effects after a single exposure

2.—(1) Solid and liquid preparations: For substances that produce non-lethal irreversible effects after a single exposure (R39, R40), the individual concentration limits specified in Table 11 determine, when appropriate, the classification of solid and liquid preparations and shall determine the particular risk phrases which shall be assigned to them.
