Subdivision A: Very Toxic Material

Pure Substances and Tested Mixtures

Acute Lethality

46. A pure substance or tested mixture falls into Subdivision A of Division 1 of Class D — Poisonous and Infectious Material if, in an animal assay for acute lethality, it has an

  • (a) LD50 not exceeding 50 milligrams per kilogram of body weight of the animal when tested in accordance with OECD Test Guideline No. 401, “Acute Oral Toxicity”, dated May 12, 1981;

  • (b) LD50 not exceeding 200 milligrams per kilogram of body weight of the animal when tested in accordance with OECD Test Guideline No. 402, “Acute Dermal Toxicity”, dated May 12, 1981;

  • (c) LC50 not exceeding 2,500 parts per million by volume of gas when tested for four hours in accordance with OECD Test Guideline No. 403, “Acute Inhalation Toxicity”, dated May 12, 1981;

  • (d) LC50 not exceeding 1,500 parts per million by volume of vapour when tested for four hours in accordance with OECD Test Guideline No. 403, “Acute Inhalation Toxicity”, dated May 12, 1981, and a saturated vapour concentration at normal atmospheric pressure greater than two times the value of that LC50; or

  • (e) LC50 not exceeding 0.5 milligrams per litre or 500 milligrams per cubic metre of dust, mist or fume when tested for four hours in accordance with OECD Test Guideline No. 403, “Acute Inhalation Toxicity”, dated May 12, 1981.

Poisonous Substances as Defined by the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations

47. A pure substance or tested mixture falls into Subdivision A of Division 1 of Class D — Poisonous and Infectious Material if it is included in Division 3 of Class 2 or in Packing Group I or II of Division 1 of Class 6 in Part III of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations.

Untested Mixtures

48. An untested mixture falls into Subdivision A of Division 1 of Class D — Poisonous and Infectious Material if it contains a product, material or substance that meets any of the criteria applicable to a pure substance or tested mixture referred to in section 46 or 47 and is present at a concentration of one per cent or more.

Subdivision B: Toxic Material

Pure Substances and Tested Mixtures

Acute Lethality

49. A pure substance or tested mixture falls into Subdivision B of Division 1 of Class D — Poisonous and Infectious Material if, in an animal assay for acute lethality, it has an

  • (a) LD50 of more than 50 but not exceeding 500 milligrams per kilogram of body weight of the animal, when tested in accordance with OECD Test Guideline No. 401, “Acute Oral Toxicity”, dated May 12, 1981;

  • (b) LD50 of more than 200 but not exceeding 1 000 milligrams per kilogram of body weight of the animal, when tested in accordance with OECD Test Guideline No. 402, “Acute Dermal Toxicity”, dated May 12, 1981;

  • (c) LC50 of more than 1,500 but not exceeding 2,500 parts per million by volume of vapour, when tested for four hours in accordance with OECD Test Guideline No. 403, “Acute Inhalation Toxicity”, dated May 12, 1981, and a saturated vapour concentration at normal atmospheric pressure of more than 0.4 times the LC50; or

  • (d) LC50 of more than 0.5 but not exceeding 2.5 milligrams per litre or grams per cubic metre of dust, mist or fume, when tested for four hours in accordance with OECD Test Guideline No. 403, “Acute Inhalation Toxicity”, dated May 12, 1981.
