Where a product is intended to be mixed with another product in specified proportions before use, the level of concentration shall be calculated by reference to the mixture. Other requirements are specified in column 4. In column 3 of this Schedule, the percentage concentration is measured by reference to mass (m/m) unless a contrary intention appears.
