("a" and "b" )

Domain logical expression index: "a"

Parametric boundary:The target chemical should have a value of log Kow which is >= -7.18

Domain logical expression index: "b"

Parametric boundary:The target chemical should have a value of log Kow which is <= -7.18

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Calcium iodate can produce retinal toxicity that damages RPE and photoreceptor cells. The recovery of retinal function depends on the amount of chemical absorption, the regeneration of RPE, and the recovery function of photoreceptor cells.
Executive summary:

Calcium iodate can produce retinal toxicity that damages RPE and photoreceptor cells. The recovery of retinal function depends on the amount of chemical absorption, the regeneration of RPE, and the recovery function of photoreceptor cells. The substance is classified in eye irritation Category 2A as per the CLP criteria.

Additional information

Skin irritation:

Based on studies of read across chemicals reviewed for skin irritation from reliable sources having Klimisch rating 2 and 4.

The summary of the results are presented below

 

Sr. No

Remark

1

Overall irritation score

irritating

humans

Data is from DOSE for CAS NO 7758-05-6

2

Overall irritation score

moderately irritating

rabbit

Data is from publication CAS NO 7681-82-5

 

Thus by applying weight of evidence approach to the studies summarized in the above table it can be concluded that the substance is irritating to the skin of human and rabbit. Thus Calcium iodate was considered to be skin irritant as the criteria of CLP regulation

Eye irritation:

Based on studies of target substance calcium iodate and read across reviewed for eye irritation from reliable sources having Klimisch rating 2 and 4 considering weight of evidence approach

Based on the results summarized in above tables for the target chemical Calcium iodate and read across, it can be concluded that the substance causes retinal toxicity that damages RPE and photoreceptor cells in humans.Thus based on this results Calcium iodate is considered to be irritant as the criteria for CLP regulation.

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Potassium iodate is found to be irritant to skin and mucous membranes of humans

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Calcium iodate can produce retinal toxicity that damages RPE and photoreceptor cells. The recovery of retinal function depends on the amount of chemical absorption, the regeneration of RPE, and the recovery function of photoreceptor cells.

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating

Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to new CLP regulation classification criteria and based on the values of skin and eye irritation, it is concluded that the substance calcium iodate is not classified as skin irritation category 2 and eye irritation Category 2A.
