(a)preparations containing one or more substances classified as very toxic that produce such effects, in individual concentrations equal to or exceeding—
(i)either the concentration specified in Table 3.2 of part 3 of Annex VI of the CLP Regulation for the substance or substances under consideration, or

PT+ is the percentage by weight of each very toxic substance in the preparation,
LT+ is the very toxic limit specified for each very toxic substance expressed as a percentage by weight or by volume.
(2) The following preparations shall be classified as very toxic owing to their non-lethal irreversible effects after a single exposure and assigned the symbol “T+”, the indication of danger “very toxic” and the risk phrase R39/route of exposure—
Preparations containing one or more dangerous substances which produce such effects in individual concentrations equal to or exceeding—
(i)either the concentration specified in Table 3.2 of part 3 of Annex VI of the CLP Regulation for the substance or substances under consideration, or
