Annex Exposure Scenarios

As a result of the hazard assessment and PBT/vPvB assessment it is found that the preparation Zirconia Mullite, containing the substances Zirconiumdioxide (ZrO2, CAS 1314-23-4) and
Mullite (2Al2O3 . SiO2, CAS 1302-93-8) does not meet the criteria for classification as hazardous (according to the directives 67/548/EEC and 1272/2008/EC) nor it is considered to be a
PBT/vPvB preparation. An exposure assessment and the subsequent step of risk characterisation are not required.
