Insert a new footnote 3 as follows: “3 OECD Guideline for the testing of chemicals No. 431 “In vitro skin corrosion: reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) test method” 2016”. At the end of the paragraph, add the following new sentence: “If the in vitro test results indicate that the substance or mixture is corrosive and not assigned to packing group I, but the test method does not allow discrimination between packing groups II and III, it shall be considered to be packing group II.”.

Add a footnote 10 to read “10 OECD Guideline for the testing of chemicals No. 439 “In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method” 2015.”. Renumber subsequent footnotes in Chapter 2.2 accordingly. 2.2.8.1.5.3 (c) (ii) Replace “ISO 3574 or Unified Numbering System (UNS) G10200 or a similar type” by “ISO 3574, Unified Numbering System (UNS) G10200”. 2.2.9.1.7 (g) Amend the beginning of the sentence to read “Except for button cells installed in equipment (including circuit boards), manufacturers ...”.

The Middle East is at present the sick man of the world. Under its infected epidermis a motley assortment of problems is lumped together, and language is used to conceal aims, which makes it easier to indulge in some of the most perfidious deeds, intrigues, duplicity, and what have you.

ECE/ADN/54 14 Modify footnote 8 to read as follows: “8 OECD Guideline for the testing of chemicals No. 431 “In vitro skin corrosion: reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) test method” 2016.”. At the end of the paragraph, add the following new sentence: “If the in vitro test results indicate that the substance or mixture is corrosive and not assigned to packing group I, but the test method does not allow discrimination between packing groups II and III, it shall be considered to be packing group II.”. 2.2.8.1.6.3.3 At the end, add the following new sentence: “For this calculation method, generic concentration limits apply where 1% is used in the first step for the assessment of the packing group I substances, and where 5% is used for the other steps respectively.”. 2.2.8.1.6.3.4 Delete the last sentence. 2.2.9.1.2 At the end insert: “M12 Other substances and articles presenting a danger during carriage in tank vessels, but not meeting the definitions of another class”. 2.2.9 Renumber footnotes 9 to 11 as footnotes 10 to 12. 2.2.9.1.10.3 Amendment to footnote 3 does not apply to the English text. 2.2.9.1.14, Note In footnote 12 (former footnote 11), remove “used as a coolant”. 2.2.9.3 In classification code M6, delete the entries for substance numbers 9005 and 9006. 2.2.9.3 List of entries In subdivision “M11”, add the following entries: “2216 FISH MEAL, STABILISED” and “2216 FISH SCRAP, STABILISED”. 2.2.9.3 For M11, “Other substances and articles presenting a danger during carriage…”, after “3359 FUMIGATED CARGO TRANSPORT UNIT”, add “3363 DANGEROUS GOODS IN ARTICLES or”. 2.2.9.3 List of entries: Insert the following new entry at the end: Only substances and articles listed in Table A of Chapter 3.2 are subject to the provisions for Class 9 under this classification code, as follows: Other substances and articles presenting a danger during carriage in tank vessels, but not meeting the definitions of another class M12 9003 SUBSTANCES WITH A FLASH-POINT ABOVE 60 ºC AND NOT MORE THAN 100 ºC, which do not belong to another class 9004 DIPHENYLMETHANE-4, 4'- DIISOCYANATE 9005 ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, SOLID, N.O.S., MOLTEN 9006 ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID, N.O.S.

The corpse isthatofadark-ski aale; the epidermis has disap peared, the whitish dermis rernaini~ urly black hair.

Add a footnote 5 to read “5 OECD Guideline for the testing of chemicals No. 439 “In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method” 2015”. 2.8.3.3 (c) (ii) Replace “ISO 3574 or Unified Numbering System (UNS) G10200 or a similar type” by “ISO 3574, Unified Numbering System (UNS) G10200”.

Skin corrosion refers to the production of irreversible damage to the skin, namely, visible necrosis through the epidermis and into the dermis occurring after exposure to a substance or mixture. 2.8.1.3 Liquids and solids which may become liquid during transport, which are judged not to be skin corrosive shall still be considered for their potential to cause corrosion to certain metal surfaces in accordance with the criteria in 2.8.3.3 (c) (ii). 2.8.2 General classification provisions 2.8.2.1 Substances and mixtures of Class 8 are divided among the three packing groups according to their degree of danger in transport: (a) Packing group I: very dangerous substances and mixtures; (b) Packing group II: substances and mixtures presenting medium danger; (c) Packing group III: substances and mixtures that present minor danger. 2.8.2.2 Allocation of substances listed in the Dangerous Goods List in Chapter 3.2 to the packing groups in Class 8 has been made on the basis of experience taking into account such additional factors as inhalation risk (see 2.8.2.4) and reactivity with water (including the formation of dangerous decomposition products). 2.8.2.3 New substances and mixtures can be assigned to packing groups on the basis of the length of time of contact necessary to produce irreversible damage of intact skin tissue in accordance with the criteria in 2.8.3.
