Toxicokinetics
The read across chemicals sodium iodate and potassium iodate belong to the same category of iodate salts as the target chemical calcium iodate. Thus, it can be concluded that calcium iodate shall also exhibit low bio-accumulation potential within the living system. However, it is important to mention that at much higher doses given intravenously (i.e., above 10 mg/kg), iodate is highly toxic to the retina. Ocular toxicity in humans has occurred after exposure to doses of 600 to 1200 mg per individual.
Irritation / corrosion
In vivo studies of the read across substances shows that the substance is a slightly irritating to skin and have irritation effect to eyes as well, and so the substance is classified in the category 2 for both skin and eye irritation.
Sensitisation
Calcium iodate was predicted as being sensitizing to the human skin. This prediction is conclusive but not sufficient for classification of the substance as a skin sensitiser. No evidence of skin sensitisation was noted in the estimation study for the substance. Also the read-across compounds for calcium iodate do not show evidence of skin sensitisation. The QSAR Toolbox does not report any structural alerts for protein binding activity (relevant for skin sensitisation) for calcium iodate, calcium iodate is therefore assumed not to be a skin sensitiser on the basis of read-across studies and the estimation study of calcium iodate.

DNEL derivation
Calcium iodate is of low acute toxicity, is irritant, is not genotoxic and is not a developmental or reproductive toxin.
In the absence of local effects following short-term or long-term exposure, no dose-response data are available and a quantitative dose descriptor is not derived. DNEL values for local exposure are therefore not calculated.
In the absence of acute systemic toxicity, no dose-response data are available and a quantitative dose descriptor is not derived. DNEL values for acute systemic effects are therefore not calculated.
A standard approach to deriving DNEL values would be to use the develpomental toxicity dataset and apply assessment factors as described in ECHA guidance documents. The critical endpoint is considered to be the NOAEL of 160 mg/kg bw/d in oral route.
