ANNEX II

SPECIFIC PROVISIONS 1.Relating to carbon tetrachloride 2.Relating to DDT 3.Relating to pentachlorophenol The numbering of the substances listed in this Annex corresponds to the list of 129 substances contained in the communication from the Commission to the Council of 22 June 1982(1). Should substances be included in future in this Annex which are not set out in the abovementioned list, they shall be numbered in chronological order of inclusion beginning with N° 130. Specific provisions relating to carbon tetrachloride (N° 13)(1) CAS N° 56-23-5(2) >TABLE> >TABLE> Heading C (13): Reference method of measurement 1.The reference method of measurement to be used for determining the presence of carbon tetrachloride in effluents and water is gas chromatography. A sensitive detector must be used when concentration levels are below 0,5 mg/l and in this case the determination limit(1) is 0,1 ìg/l. For concentration levels higher than 0,5 mg/l a determination limit(1) of 0,1 mg/l is acceptable. 2.The accuracy and precision of the method must be ± 50 % at a concentration which represents twice the value of the determination limit(1). Specific provisions relating to DDT (N° 46)(1) (2) CAS N° 50-29-3(3) STANDSTILL:The concentration of DDT in the aquatic environment, sediments and/or molluscs and/or shellfish and/or fish must not increase significantly with time. >TABLE> >TABLE> Heading C (46): Reference method of measurement 1.The reference method of measurement to be used for determining DDT in effluents and the aquatic environment is gas chromatography with electron capture detection after extraction by means of an appropriate solvent. The limit of determination(1) for total DDT is approximately 4 ìg/l for the aquatic environment and 1 ìg/l for effluents, depending on the number of extraneous substances present in the sample. 2.The reference method to be used for determining DDT in sediments and organisms is gas chromatography with electron capture detection after appropriate preparation of samples. The limit of determination(1) is 1 ìg/kg. 3.The accuracy and precision of the method must be ± 50 % at a concentration which represents twice the value of the limit of determination(1). Specific provisions relating to pentachlorophenol (N° 102)(1) (2) CAS N° 87-86-5(3) STANDSTILL:The concentration of PCP in sediments and/or molluscs and/or shellfish and/or fish must not increase significantly with time. >TABLE> >TABLE> Heading C (102): Reference method of measurement 1.The reference method of measurement to be used for determining pentachlorophenol in effluents and the aquatic environment is high-pressure liquid chromatography or gas chromatography with electron-capture detection after extraction by means of an appropriate solvent. The limit of determination(1) is 2 ìg/l for effluents and 0,1 ìg/l for the aquatic environment. 2.The reference method to be used for determining pentachlorophenol in sediments and organisms is high-pressure liquid chromatography or gas chromatography with electroncapture detection after appropriate preparation of samples. The limit of determination(1) is 1 mg/kg. 3.The accuracy and precision of the method must be ± 50 % at a concentration which represents twice the value of the limit of determination(1). (1)Article 5 applies in particular to use of carbon tetrachloride in industrial laundries. (2)CAS (Chemical Abstract Service) number. (1)The 'determination limit' xg of a given substance is the smallest quantity, quantitatively determinable in a sample on the basis of a given working method, which can still be distinguished from zero. (1)The sum of the isomers 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2 bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane; 1,1,1-trichloro-2 (o-chlorophenyl) -2- (p-chlorophenyl) ethane; 1,1,1-dichloro-2,2 bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethylene; and 1,1,1-dichloro-2,2 bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane. (2)Article 5 applies to DDT if sources other than those mentioned in this Annex are identified. (3)CAS (Chemical Abstract Service) number. (1)The 'limit of determination' xg of a given substance is the smallest quantity, quantitatively determinable in a sample on the basis of a given working method, which can still be distinguished from zero. (1)The chemical compound 2,3,4,5,6-Pentachloro-1-hydroxybenzene and its salts. (2)Article 5 applies to pentachlorophenol, and particularly to its use for treating wood. (3)CAS (Chemical Abstract Service) number. (1)The 'limit of determination' xg of a given substance is the smallest quantity, quantitatively determinable in a sample on the basis of a given working method, which can still be distinguished from zero.
