In Directive 92/32/EEC amending for the seventh time Directive 67/548/EEC the term “toxic for reproduction” was introduced. The term “teratogenic” was replaced by a corresponding term 'toxic for reproduction'. This term is considered to be in line with property H10 in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC

The classification as well as the R numbers refer to the Dangerous Substances Directive. The concentration limits refer to those laid down in the Dangerous Preparations Directive (1999/45/EC; O.J. No. L200, 30.7.1999, p. 1) as amended by Regulation (EC) No. 1882/2003 (O.J. No. L284, 31.10.2003, p. 1)
