Precautionary (Statutory) Phrases
Precautionary (Statutory) Phrases : The Dangerous Substances Directives (67/548/EEC) and the Dangerous Preparations Directive (1999/45/EC) require that risk phrases appear on each label and safety data sheet for hazardous chemicals and preparations. The safety phrases consist of the letter R followed by a number and are often referred to as R-phrases. Part V of the Approved Supply List (eighth edition) which incorporates the 29th Adaptations to Technical Progress lists the safety phrases in numerical order. These are the special risks associated with the substance or preparation under consideration and the R-phrases denote the appropriate safety precautions or personal protective equipment to minimise these risks
