Category 2	Chemicals that may induce heritable mutations in humans germ cells	☐ Positive evidence obtained from experiments in mammals and/or in some cases from in vitro experiments, obtained from somatic cell mutagenicity test in vivo, in mammals; or other in vivo somatic cell genotoxicity test which are to be supported by positive results from in vitro mutagenicity assays.
NB: (1) Germ cells are those cells that are involved in the reproductive process and can give rise to a new organism. (2) Somatic cells are all body cells except the reproductive germ cells. (3) In vitro (latin: in glass): study tests performed outside a living organism (4) In vivo (latin: in the living): study tests performed in living organisms.
c) Classification Criteria for Reproductive Toxicity
i	Category	Classification Criteria	Description
Adverse Effects on Sexual Function and Ferti	1	Known or presumed human reproductive toxicant	☐ Includes substances known to have produced an adverse effect on sexual function and fertility or on development in human or for which there is evidence from animal studies supplemented with other information on the capacity of the substance to interfere with reproduction in humans.
	1A	Known human reproductive toxicant	☐ The evidence is largely based from humans.
	1B	Presumed human reproductive toxicant	☐ The evidence is largely based from experimental animals.
	2	Suspected human reproductive toxicant	☐ There is some evidence from humans or experimental animals, possibly supplemented with other information and where the evidence is not sufficiently convincing to place the substance in Category 1.
ii	Category	Classification Criteria	Description
Adverse Effects on the development of the offspring	1 (Only one category)	Effects on or via Lactation	Substances which are absorbed by humans and shown to interfere with lactation or may be present (including metabolites) in breast milk in sufficient amounts to cause health concern of the breastfed child.
			☐ Absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion studies that would indicate substance present in potentially levels in breast milk; and/or
			☐ Results of one or two generation studies in animals provide clear evidence of adverse effect in the offspring due to transfer in the milk or adverse effects on the quality of the milk; and/or
			☐ Human evidence indicating a hazard to babies during the lactation period.

PART V—CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA FOR MIXTURES OF TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS AND/OR MATERIALS
Test Data on the Mixture	Criteria
Sufficient data/ test data available on the hazards of the complete/similar mixtures to estimate classification hazards	☐ Test data for that mixture is used to classify the hazards of the mixture
Data/test data not available on the hazards of the complete mixture	☐ Apply “Bridging principles” on similar tested mixtures– the available data for the substances and/or ingredients that make up the mixture is used to characterize the hazards of the mixture
Data/test data not available on the hazards of the complete mixture; and available information not sufficient to apply bridging principles	☐ The agreed method for estimating the hazards based on the information known will be applied to classify the mixture
Data/test data only available on the hazards of all ingredients	☐ Apply “Summation method”—summation of components/ ingredient concentrations based on their hazard categories.
	☐ Applicable examples include estimating acute toxicity, germ cell mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity hazard classes.
Data not available for one or more ingredients of the mixture; or, Other data available to estimate conversion values for classification	☐ Additivity formula - summation of components concentrations based of the hazard parameter being investigated e.g. acute toxicity.
	☐ Available information can provide a derived conversion value which can be applied in a formula.
