(a)
For tractor‐mounted applications: gloves during ML (mixing/loading) and A (application) (EFSA, 2014; and German model).
(b)
Low risk indicated for 7/11 scenarios; high risk still indicated for R1/, R2/, R3/ and R4/stream.
(c)
Low risk indicated for 9/11 scenarios; high risk still indicated for R3/ and R4/stream.
(d)
Low risk indicated for 3/6 scenarios; high risk still indicated for R1/, R3/ and R4/stream.
(e)
Low risk indicated for 4/6 scenarios; high risk still indicated for R3/ and R4/stream.
