(2) Where a source of ignition may ignite the concentration of an airborne chemical agent or combination of chemical agents in a work place, that concentration shall not exceed 10 per cent of the lower explosive limit of the chemical agent or combination of chemical agents.

(6) If a source of ignition may ignite the concentration of an airborne chemical agent or combination of airborne chemical agents in a work place, that concentration must not be more than 10 per cent of the lower explosive limit of the chemical agent or combination of chemical agents.

In order to take into account the skin irritation potential of the combinations of the quaternary ammonium derivatives mentioned above, the Commission considers that, while allowing the use of these substances for other uses than as preservatives at higher concentrations, the sums of these substances should be restricted to the maximum concentration indicated by the SCCS for the individual substances.

In its opinion of 13 October 2009 , it stated that, on the basis of the data submitted, the use of that mixture as a preservative in cosmetic products, at a concentration up to 0,2 % (corresponding to a silver concentration of 0,0024 %), does not pose a risk to the health of the consumer.

This advance review has the potential to reduce long waits at entry points without compromising security, efficiency and safety, because officers can concentrate on the traffic and people who might present a risk.

(39) In the course of an inspection, officials authorised by the Commission should have the right to ask for any information relevant to the subject matter and purpose of the inspection; they should also have the right to affix seals during inspections, particularly in circumstances where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that a concentration has been implemented without being notified; that incorrect, incomplete or misleading information has been supplied to the Commission; or that the undertakings or persons concerned have failed to comply with a condition or obligation imposed by decision of the Commission.
