This test method is equivalent to OECD test guideline 112 (1981)Įlectrical conductivity for conductometric methodĪll test methods may be carried out on pure or commercial grade substances. ‘A.25 DISSOCIATION CONSTANTS IN WATER (TITRATION METHOD - SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD - CONDUCTOMETRIC METHOD) In Part A, the following Chapter is added: The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 is amended as follows: This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly. This adaptation to technical progress deletes six test methods for which the corresponding OECD test guidelines have been cancelled.

The OECD regularly reviews its test guidelines in order to identify those which are scientifically obsolete. The adaptation to technical progress contains 20 test methods: one new method for the determination of a physicochemical property, five new and one updated test methods for the assessment of ecotoxicity, two updated test methods to assess the environmental fate and behaviour, and four new and seven updated test methods for the determination of effects on human health. Stakeholders have been consulted on this draft.
#PG 239 FIRST AID 2017 ERROR TCA TREATMENT UPDATE#
It is necessary to update Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 to include new and updated test methods recently adopted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in order to take into account technical progress, and to ensure the reduction in the number of animals to be used for experimental purposes, in accordance with Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 3). Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC ( 1), and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,Ĭommission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 ( 2) contains the test methods for the purposes of the determination of the physicochemical properties, toxicity and ecotoxicity of chemicals to be applied for the purposes of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Amending, for the purpose of its adaptation to technical progress, the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 laying down test methods pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
