Appendix D – Substances that have been omitted in relation to the previous LOUS

Substances that have been removed from the LOUS in relation to the previous list from 2000.
Substance CAS No. Reason for omission from the LOUS
3-Aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethyl cyclohexylamine 2855-13-2 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Antimontrioxide 1309-64-4 Omitted because of reduced consumption.
Azo dyes that release carcinogenic amines Several Special initiatives regarding this substance have previously been assigned high priority. New EU regulation on restrictions on use has minimised the risk (Statutory Order no. 755 of 15 August 2003).
2,2-Bis(p-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)phenyl)-propane 1675-54-3 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Bisphenol-A-diglycidylether (reaction product) 25068-38-6 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
1,2-Dichloroethane 107-06-2 Omitted because consumption in Denmark is now very low. Therefore, the substance does not meet new criteria. Special initiatives regarding this substance have previously been assigned high priority.
Heavy naphthenic hydrocarbons 64741-53-3 Omitted because of reduced consumption.
3,6-Diazaoctane-1,8-diamine 112-24-3 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications) and consumption in Denmark is below the tonnage limit.
3,3'-Dichloro-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine dihydrochloride 612-83-9 New information about the use of this substance indicates that it does not constitute a risk. Solely used as a raw material for synthesis.
Tolyfluanide 731-27-1 Omitted because of reduced consumption.
Dimethylphenol 1300-71-6 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
6-Ethoxy-1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline 91-53-2 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Hexachlorobenzene 118-74-1 Special initiatives regarding this substance have previously been assigned high priority. Covered by the POP Convention (Statutory Order no. 820 of 29 September 2003 regarding certain persistent organic compounds (POP substances)) and not permitted in Denmark.
1,6-Hexamethylene diacrylate 13048-33-4 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Rosin 8050-09-7 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Low boiling point naphtha containing carcinogenic substances (benzene ³0.1% by volume).   Omitted from the list because the fraction containing carcinogenic impurities is not currently used in Denmark.
Maleic anhydride 108-31-6 New information about the use of this substance indicates that it does not constitute a risk.
Mesitylene 108-67-8 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications) and consumption in Denmark is below the tonnage limit.
Methenamine 100-97-0 Omitted because of reduced consumption.
(1-methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)bis[oxy(methyl-2,1-ethanediyl)]diacrylate 42978-66-5 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Methyl methacrylate 80-62-6 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Musk xylenes and musk ketones   Consumption in Denmark is very low.

Special initiatives regarding this substance have previously been assigned high priority.

2,2,4,6,6-Pentamethylheptane 13475-82-6 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Phenol 108-95-2 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Phenol, 4,4'-(1-methylethylidene)bis, polymer with 2,2-((1-methylethylidene)bis) 25036-25-3 Omitted since the substance has a variable/unknown structure and is thus not suitable for computer calculations.
Cresol 1319-77-3 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Phthalic anhydride 85-44-9 Omitted because of reduced consumption.
Sulfamic acid 5329-14-6 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
Pitch 61789-60-4 Does not meet new criteria for undesirable properties (classifications).
1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene 120-82-1 Consumption in Denmark is now very low.

Special initiatives regarding this substance have previously been assigned high priority. EU prohibition has been proposed.

Unspecified gas oil with carcinogenic properties   Omitted from the list because the fraction containing carcinogenic impurities is not currently used in Denmark.
Petroleum distillates containing carcinogenic substances (DMSO extract ³3%).   Omitted from the list because the fraction containing carcinogenic impurities is not currently used in Denmark.
