(1)2,4-dinitrotoluene (‘2,4-DNT’), CAS No 121-14-2, EC No 204-450-0, is classified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote as a carcinogen, category 1B. In addition, 2,4-DNT was identified as substance of very high concern meeting the conditions of Article 57, point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and added to Annex XIV to that Regulation. For that substance, it is not possible to set a Derived No-Effect Level (‘DNEL’) and therefore it is a non-threshold carcinogen. Entry 28 of Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 restricts the placing on the market and use of 2,4-DNT for supply to the general public, as a substance, as a constituent of other substance or in a mixture when the concentration of 2,4-DNT equal to or greater than 0,1 % by weight.
