ANNEX III Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is amended as follows: (1) Part 1 is amended as follows: (a) in point 1.1.3.1, the following notes V and W are added: ‘Note V: If the substance is to be placed on the market as fibres (with diameter < 3 μm, length > 5 μm and aspect ratio ≥ 3:1) or particles of the substance fulfilling the WHO fibre criteria or as particles with modified surface chemistry, their hazardous properties must be evaluated in accordance with Title II of this Regulation, to assess whether a higher category (Carc. 1B or 1A) and/or additional routes of exposure (oral or dermal) should be applied.’ Note W: ‘It has been observed that the carcinogenic hazard of this substance arises when respirable dust is inhaled in quantities leading to significant impairment of particle clearance mechanisms in the lung. This note aims to describe the particular toxicity of the substance; it does not constitute a criterion for classification according to this Regulation.’; (b) in point 1.1.3.2, the following note 10 is added: ‘Note 10: The classification as a carcinogen by inhalation applies only to mixtures in powder form containing 1 % or more of titanium dioxide which is in the form of or incorporated in particles with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm.’; (2) in Part 3, Table 3 is amended as follows: (a) the rows with index numbers 604-083-00-X and 611-159-00-6 are deleted; (b) the rows corresponding to index numbers 015-189-00-5, 027-001-00-9, 028-018-00-4, 603-023-00-X, 605-005-00-7, 606-047-00-9, 607-232-00-7, 607-247-00-9, 608-039-00-0, 613-054-00-0, 616-018-00-2 and 648-055-00-5 are replaced by the following rows respectively: Index No Chemical name EC No CAS No Classification Labelling Specific Conc.
