Metals in massive form, alloys, mixtures containing polymers and mixtures containing elastomers do not require a label according
to this Annex (Annex I GHS), if they do not present a hazard to human health by inhalation, ingestion or contact with skin or to the
aquatic environment in the form in which they are placed on the market, although classified as hazardous in accordance with the
