In the EC lead-, chromate — and zinc phosphate-containing anticorrosive pigments must be appropriately labeled. Such substances must carry the following symbols and indications of danger [5.112]:
Lead-containing anticorrosives (Red Lead, lead silicochromate)
T, Toxic (skull and cross bone)
N, Dangerous for the environment (dead fish/tree)
R-phrases: R61-20/22-33-50/53-62, S-phrases S53-45-60-61 Zinc chromate, zinc potassium chromate, zinc tetraoxichromate T, Toxic (skull and cross bone)
N, Dangerous for the environment (dead fish/tree)
R-phrases: R45-22-43-50/53, S-phrases S53-45-60-61 Strontium chromate T, Toxic (skull and cross bone)
N, Dangerous for the environment (dead fish/tree)
R-phrases: R45-22-50/53, S-phrases S53-45-60-61 Zinc phosphate
N, Dangerous for the environment (dead fish/tree)
R-phrases: R50/53, S-phrases S60-61.
According to Council Directive 1999/45/EC on Classification, Packaging and Labeling of Dangerous Preparations (Preparations Directive) [5.116] in conjunction with the 28th Adaption to Council Directive 67/548 on Classification, Packaging and Labeling of Dangerous Substances [5.112], such preparations have to be labeled in accordance with the limits set for the single R-phrases.
With respect to improved protection of public health, special restrictions on can — cerogenic and teratogenic substances and their corresponding preparations have been established by the Council Directive 94/60/EC (14th amendment of Council Directive 76/769/EEC) [5.117].
In accordance with the 14th amendment of Council Directive 76/769/EEC [5.117] and revised ChemVerbV [5.118], lead- and chromate-containing anticorrosive pigments are no longer permitted to be used by private consumers and have to be labeled with the phrase “Only for industrial purposes”.
For road transport in accordance with GGVSE [5.119] and ADR 2003 [5.120], lead-, chromate — and zinc phosphate-containing anticorrosive pigments are assigned to the following classes:
Lead-containing anticorrosives (Red Lead, lead silicochromate)
6.1 (T5), III (UN-No. 2291), hazard symbol 6.1 (Toxic),
Zinc chromate, zinc potassium chromate, zinc tetraoxichromate 9 (M7), III (UN-No. 3077), hazard symbol 9 Strontium chromate
9 (M7), III (UN-No. 3077), hazard symbol 9 Zinc phosphate
9 (M7), III (UN-No. 3077), hazard symbol 9.
For maritime transport, in accordance with the IMDG code [5.121], such anticorrosive pigments have to be labeled additionally as marine pollutants.
