(Council Directive 76/769, as amended by Directive 91/173)
The limit value established in the first sentence of point 23 of Annex I to Directive 76/769 relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations, as amended by Directive 91/173, is applicable to pentachlorophenol, its salts and esters and to preparations produced from those substances, but not to products treated with those substances or preparations. The Member States remain, therefore, in principle free to fix limit values for such products independently.
