5.1.1. Definitions and general considerations

Definitions and general considerations

5.1.1.1.

Ozone depleting potential (ODP) is an integrative quantity, distinct for each halocarbon source species, that represents the extent of ozone depletion in the stratosphere expected from the halocarbon on a mass-for-mass basis relative to CFC-11. The formal definition of ODP is the ratio of integrated perturbations to total ozone, for a differential mass emission of a particular compound relative to an equal emission of CFC-11.

Substance hazardous to the ozone layer means a substance which, on the basis of the available evidence concerning its properties and its predicted or observed environmental fate and behaviour may present a danger to the structure and/or the functioning of the stratospheric ozone layer. This includes substances which are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on substances that deplete the ozone layer ( 20 ).

Classification criteria for substances

5.1.2.1.

A substance shall be classified as hazardous to the ozone layer (Category 1) if the available evidence concerning its properties and its predicted or observed environmental fate and behaviour indicate that it may present a danger to the structure and/or the functioning of the stratospheric ozone layer.

5.1.2.1.

5.1.3. Classification criteria for mixtures

Classification criteria for mixtures

5.1.3.1.

Mixtures shall be classified as hazardous to the ozone layer (Category 1) on the basis of the individual concentration of the substance(s) contained therein that are also classified as hazardous to the ozone layer (Category 1), in accordance with Table 5.1.
