Sodium chlorate

GHS

General Information

Implementation:

EU

Type of classification:

harmonised classification

Remarks:

Sodium chlorate has a harmonised classification (index No. 017-005-00-9, ATP0) as:

Ox. Sol. 1, H271

Acute Tox. 4 *, H302 (* minimum classification for the category)

Aquatic Chronic 2, H411.

 

An intention for a revised CLH has been submitted to Sweden on 24/06/2019 with:

Ox. Sol. 1, H271

Acute Tox. 3, H301

(https://echa.europa.eu/fr/registry-of-clh-intentions-until-outcome/-/dislist/details/0b0236e183552bed)

Classification for aquatic toxicity is removed, which is in accordance with the data presented in this dossier.

No further hazard class is required.

 

The classification below is in accordance with the CLH currently into force, completed with the justifications for the non-harmonised classes, according to available data. The substance is a solid; physical hazard classes that apply to other physical states (eg gases, liquids) are not relevant.
