(8) Shall not be placed on the market for the first time after [18 months after the entry into force of the Decision], for supply to the general public, as a constituent of neoprene based adhesives in concentrations equal to or higher than 0.1% by mass in package sizes greater than 350 g.

These are mostly “neoprene” (polychloroprene) based adhesives used in the leather industry (shoes), the construction industry (floor coatings) and the automobile equipment industry.

This applies to ammonium nitrate-based compound/composite fertilisers (compound/composite fertilisers contain ammonium nitrate with phosphate and/or potash) in which the nitrogen content as a result of ammonium nitrate is 24.5%* by weight or less, and which are capable of self-sustaining decomposition according to the UN Trough Test (see United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, sub-section 38.2).
