of a particular substance determined over the shortest analytically practicable period of time
which does not exceed 15 minutes.

SK-SEN Skin sensitiser
SKIN_DES SKIN_DES: Skin notation: Absorption through the skin may be a significant source of

STEL STEL: Exposure standard - short term exposure limit (STEL): A 15 minute TWA exposure
which should not be exceeded at any time during a working day even if the eight-hour TWA
average is within the TWA exposure standard. Exposures at the STEL should not be longer
than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than four times per day. There should be at
least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the
STEL.
TWA TWA: Exposure standard - time-weighted average (TWA): The average airborne concentration of
a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour
working day, for a five-day working week.
