When reviewing a consumer product under the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations (CCCR) you must determine whether the individual chemical components are hazardous. This will assist in classifying the overall product’s hazards.
A "hazardous ingredient" under the CCCR, 2001 can be (a) a pure chemical product; (b) an ingredient present in a chemical product in a concentration of 1% or more and (i) is a chemical product, (ii) the supplier believes on reasonable grounds the chemical may be harmful to humans, (iii) the chemical has toxicological properties that are not known to the supplier, or (iv) derives from a reaction between precursor constituents and the hazards associated with the chemical product are not known to the supplier; or (c) a complex mixture present in a chemical product in a concentration of 1% or more and (i) is a chemical product, (ii) the supplier believes on reasonable grounds the chemical may be harmful to humans, or (iii) the chemical has toxicological properties that are not known to the supplier.
Once each chemical ingredient of the product is classified as hazardous or not, then the overall chemical product classification can be determined.
