Warning |
H320 | P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 |
Although there is no result of animal study, it was classified into Category 2B based on the description "an eye redness/pain and it irritates to eye."(HSDB, 2002; SITTG, 4th, 2002; ICSC, 1998; HSFS, 2004). | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Category 2 |
- |
H401 | P273 P501 |
It was classified in Category 2 from 72-hour EC50 (growth rate) = 2.8 mg/L [converted value 1.9 mgClO3-/L] for algae (Nitzschia closterium) (Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol. 11 (Ministry of the Environment, 2013), ECETOC TR91: 2003). | FY2018 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Category 2 |
- |
H411 | P273 P391 P501 |
If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified in Category 2 from 72-hour NOEC (growth rate) = 1.5 mg/L [converted value 1 mgClO3-/L] for algae (Dunaliella tertiolecta) (Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol. 11 (Ministry of the Environment, 2013)) despite unknown environmental dynamics of the inorganic compound. If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified as "Not classified" from 24-hour EC50 (immobile) = 879.7 mg/L [converted value 599 mgClO3-/L] for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol. 11 (Ministry of the Environment, 2013)) despite unknown environmental dynamics of the inorganic compound. From the above results, it was classified in Category 2. |
