Explanation:

neutral  hazmatgerman (X): I would caution against "harmful" as this has clearly defined meanings in EU law; 'bedenklich' is not one of them AFAIK. Regards.

agree  hazmatgerman (X): Agree with formulants (more frequent than 'co-formulant' in my term base) though not the adjective; see above & regards.//see ref.

  -> Thanks, hazmatgerman. I checked quite a number of documents and term bases, and 'co-formulant' seems absolutely common (7,700 hits on google alone). I feel it is more precise. I remember having seen "potentially harmful" for "bedenklich" quite often.

Reference: @Autenrieth

Reference information:
See in a relevant EU such as given under URL on p. 7 top left, which has "substance of concern" and "co-formulant" later; I agree that contrary to what my term base suggests this term may be more frequent. Thank you indeed for this constructive discussion.
source: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2...
Sorry, system would not accept url in designated field, don't know why.

@Autenrieth: I guess I would've always used official terminology when legal repercussions are concerned. If you need further facts, contact me.
