Notes
The CLP classifications required in this section are related to that of the product supplier. To comply with the legislation, the classification of the relevant ingredients of the product must be outlined as if they were present at 100%. Where ingredients are present in the product at very low concentration, the level of risk to the user is reduced, therefore the classifications for the individual components and the product are different.
