Highly toxic and toxic substances and mixtures (substances and mixtures classified under the CLP Regulation as acute toxic category 1, 2 or 3 (Acute Tox. 1, 2 or 3) or as specific target organ toxic category 1 (STOT SE 1).

Order on the import, sale and use of highly toxic and toxic substances and mixtures, etc., on the storage and reporting of the theft of certain substances and mixtures and on the prohibition of misleading statements when placing substances and mixtures on the market.

Product information continues to be as follows: Highly toxic and toxic substances and mixtures (substances and mixtures classified under the CLP Regulation as acute toxic category 1, 2 or 3 (Acute Tox. 1, 2 or 3) or as specific target organ toxic category 1 (STOT SE 1).

Substances and mixtures with serious long-term effects (substances and mixtures classified under the CLP Regulation as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction category 1 A or 1 B (Carc. 1 A or 1 B, Muta. 1 A or 1 B or Repr. 1 A or 1 B).
With the addition of a new subsection (6) in Section 2, it is proposed to clarify that Sections 9-14, cf. Section 16, of the Order on requisition and Sections 17 and 18, as well as Section 19(2)-(4) on storage do not apply to the sale of petrol or diesel oil in bulk from pumps at petrol stations or the like.
It is proposed that a new subsection (2) be added to Section 5, according to which it is a condition for the groups of persons covered by Section 25(1), point g, of the act that imports are made exclusively for commercial use in an own business. It is also proposed that a new Section 15 be added, according to which the groups of persons covered by Section 25(1), point g, are only covered by the exemption from the requirement to sell based on requisition when using highly toxic and toxic substances and mixtures commercially in an own business. In connection with uses for private purposes, the aforementioned groups of persons are covered by the starting point in Section 24(1) of the act on sale based on requisition. With the addition of the two proposed new provisions in Chapter 2, they will also apply, pursuant to Chapter 3 of the Order, to substances and mixtures with serious long-term effects, cf. Section 3 (3). The two new provisions are proposed to be punishable under Section 26(4) and (11) of the Order, respectively.
In Section 17(2), it is proposed to specify that the provision only applies to the storage of highly toxic and toxic substances and mixtures. The reason for this is that the authorisation in Section 24(2) of the Chemicals Act only gives the Minister for the Environment the power to lay down rules on additional measures for the storage of substances or mixtures classified as acute toxic in categories 1, 2 or 3, and specifically target organ toxic after a single exposure (Acute tox. 1, 2 or 3 and STOT SE1).
In addition to the changes mentioned above, a few corrections and a number of consequential amendments have been made as a result of the addition of the new provisions.
