| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Substantially insoluble and stable to water (hydrates are substantially insoluble (CAS 29689-14-3, Cr2O3.xCO2.-yH2O), Merck (13th,2001)) |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to the absence of data, though being inorganic compounds containing oxygen |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not organic compounds |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is "solid" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available Most of the epidemiological studies and tests with chromium (III) gave negative results (EHC 61 (1988), ATSDR (2000), PATTY (4th, 2000)), though no data are available on the evaluation of chromium carbonate per se. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H334: May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled |
P304+P341: IF INHALED: If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P342+P311: If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P285: In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Chromium is classified into "Respiratory Sensitizing Substance" by the ad hoc committee of the Japanese Society of Occupational Allergy, and "Respiratory Sensitizing Substance: Group 2"* by the Japan Society for Occupational Health. These classifications, though not specifying chromium carbonate, seem to include chromium compounds. Chromium carbonate, which is a chromium compound, should thus cause respiratory sensitization. * There is a provision to the effect that "the category refers to the substance concerned and its compounds, but does not identify all substances causing respiratory/skin sensitization. |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Category 1 |
|
Warning | H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P333+P313: If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |

| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available As for the germ cell mutagenicity of chromium (III), refer to "ID371, Chromium oxide, CAS:1308-38-9" and "ID372, Chromic chloride, CAS: 10025-73-7." |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is classified as A4 (as Metal and Cr III compounds) by ACGIH (2001), Category D (as Chromium (III), insoluble salts) by EPA (1998) and Group 3 (as Chromium (III)) by IARC (1990). |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available As for the reproductive toxicity of chromium (III), refer to "ID371, Chromium oxide, CAS:1308-38-9" and "ID372, Chromic chloride, CAS: 10025-73-7." |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
