Approved Supply List

Substances or preparations requiring to be labelled with the risk phrase R45 (may cause cancer) or R49 (may cause cancer by inhalation) under CHIPS are listed in Table 5.16 after the 5th edition of the Approved Supply List (Information approved for the classification and labelling of substances and preparations dangerous for supply). This list excludes certain coal and oil-based substances which attract the phrase R45 only when they contain a certain percentage of a marker substance (e.g. benzene).

As we mentioned in the previous chapter, its approach used a codification system (Risk Phrases) that was based on toxicological evidence of harm arising from exposure to substances. Criteria for codification were set out in Annex VI to the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) as amended by its Seventh Amendment (92/32/EEC). Annex I to the Dangerous Substances Directive included risk phrases (R-phrases) for all substances with an agreed hazard classification in the EU. This information was reproduced in the UK in the Approved Classification and Labelling Guide (Third Ed.) whilst specific substances and their R-phrases were listed in the Approved Supply List. If any substance supplied to a workplace within the European Community was not listed in Annex I to the Directive, the supplier was required to consider whether a hazard classification was appropriate and if so, based on the classification criteria, apply the appropriate R-phrases as well as other information.
