Toxicity mixture calculationsSubclass 6.1 Acute toxicity - additivity <strong>for</strong>mula1.1 Using <strong>the</strong> additivity <strong>for</strong>mula from <strong>the</strong> ERMA New Zealand User Guide to HSNOThresholds and Classifications <strong>the</strong> mixture LD 50 calculation <strong>for</strong> acute oral, dermaland inhalation toxicity <strong>for</strong> dichlorvos <strong>for</strong>mulations was calculated as follows:Calculated mixture LD 50 =%ComponentLD Component50100Subclass 6.3 Skin Irritation and Subclass 8.2 Skin corrosion1.2 The mechanism <strong>for</strong> assigning skin irritation/corrosion classification to mixtures(assuming product data are not available) is by analysis <strong>of</strong> component data, asdescribed in <strong>the</strong> ERMA New Zealand User Guide to Thresholds and Classification,Table 11.3, Part V, Chapter 11, Page 10. The relevant mixture rules based on <strong>the</strong>composition and hazard pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dichlorvos <strong>for</strong>mulations are:1. ∑ 8.2X components ≥ 5%, classify as 8.2X2. ∑ 8.2X components ≥1 but < 5%, classify as 6.3A3. ∑ (10 x 8.2X components) + 6.3A components ≥ 10%, classify as 6.3A.4. ∑ (10 x 8.2X components) + 6.3A components ≥ 1 but < 10%, classify as 6.3B.5. ∑ (10 x 8.2X components) + 6.3A components + 6.3B components ≥ 10%,classify as 6.3B.6. ∑ 6.3A components ≥ 10%, classify as 6.3A.7. ∑ 6.3A components ≥ 1% but < 10%, classify as 6.3B8. ∑ 6.3B components ≥ 10%, classify as 6.3B.Subclass 6.4 Eye Irritation and Subclass 8.3 Eye Corrosion1.3 The mechanism <strong>for</strong> assigning eye irritation/corrosion classification to mixtures(assuming product data are not available) is by analysis <strong>of</strong> component data, asdescribed in <strong>the</strong> ERMA New Zealand User Guide to Thresholds and Classification,Table 12.3, Part V, Chapter 12, Page 12. The relevant mixture rules based on <strong>the</strong>composition and hazard pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dichlorvos <strong>for</strong>mulations are:1. ∑ 8.3A components ≥ 3% classify as 8.3A2. ∑ 8.3A components ≥ 1% but > 3%, classify as 6.4A3. ∑ (10 x x8.3A components) + 6.4A components ≥ 10%, classify as 6.4A.4. ∑ 6.4A components ≥ 10%, classify as 6.4A.Dichlorvos reassessment – application Page 389 <strong>of</strong> 436
