The LoW specifies that ‘where applicable the following notes included in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 may be taken into account when establishing the hazardous properties of wastes: 1.1.3.1. Notes relating to the identification, classification and labelling of substances: Notes B, D, F, J, L, M, P, Q, R, and U.’ Relevant to this respect are notes M and L. Therefore benzo[a]pyrene can be used as a marker compound representing PAH for carcinogenicity for certain coal tar entries. For hazard statement code(s), hazard class and category code(s) of benzo[a]pyrene please refer to Table 5. More information on the usage of PAH and benzo[a]pyrene for the example of coal tar can be found in Section 1.4.5 below.
