(Art. 1 and 5)
1For substances or preparations listed in the table under number 3, the threshold quantities specified therein apply.
2For other substances or preparations, the person responsible shall determine the threshold quantity using the criteria specified in number 4 in accordance with Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1272/20081and the criteria specified in number 5 for highly active substances and preparations. The lowest threshold quantity determined in this way is decisive.
3The person responsible need not determine the threshold quantity for a criterion or area if he can argue convincingly that the costs of acquiring the data would be disproportionate.
The Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) shall specify the threshold quantities for special wastes designated as such in the waste list issued in accordance with Article 2 of the Ordinance of 22 June 20052on Movements of Waste. In doing so, it shall take account of their:

| 1 The listed criteria apply, and the order of the criteria (letters) denotes their priority, i.e. if there is a value under criteria a, criteria b and c are no longer relevant. If a person responsible for a substance/preparation that meets one of the criteria concludes based on their self-assessment that harm to the public in the event of exposure on one occasion may be excluded or that the more serious effect of the substance/ preparation is not relevant to major accidents, the substance/ preparation is not deemed to be an HAS in terms of the Major Accidents Ordinance. In order to assess whether an effect is relevant to major accidents, the definition of «Temporary Emergency Exposure Limits (TEEL-2)» applies. The Major Accidents Ordinance does not apply to establishments that handle HAS only in the form of finished products that are intended for their own use or for supply to professional or commercial users or the general public. 2 TQ (kg) = Threshold quantity in kg 3 MAK, TLV, OEL, IOEL, etc. 4 Corresponds to the effect dose ED |
