Explanations due to OEB: OEB is a occupational exposure band with the following levels: Occupational Occupational Exposure Band Exposure Level OEB 1 > 1000 µg/m³ OEB 2 100 - 1000 µg/m³ OEB 3 10 – 100 µg/m³ OEB 4 1 – 10 µg/m³ OEB 5 < 1 µg/m³ Additional notations may be applied as suffixes to the OEL/OEB and are used to communicate additional information that is not directly indicated by the OEL/OEB classifications. This information is necessary to perform an efficient risk assessment and determine the correct exposure controls. The meanings of the suffixes is explained in this way: Notation/Suffixes Risk Reprotoxic Hazard for pregnant women. Exposure below the OEL is G1 acceptable. Hazard for pregnant women. Exposure even below the OEL is not G2 acceptable. Respiratory sensitization hazard with serious potential consequences Sr (anaphylactic reactions). Specific dermal hazard (High dermal absorption / Danger of skin Sk sensitization). Corrosive compound - Important dermal and ocular hazard If Cor corrosive compounds (i.e. R34 or R35).
