Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
According to the classification provided by companies to ECHA in CLP notifications this substance causes severe skin burns and eye damage, causes serious eye irritation, may be corrosive to metals, causes skin irritation and may cause respiratory irritation.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin irritation / corrosion
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
- Type of information:
- other: None of the studies on skin sensitisation can be performed
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a strong acid (pH ≤ 2.0) or base (pH ≥ 11.5) and the available information indicates that it should be classified as skin corrosion (Category 1, 1A, 1B or 1C)

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (irritating)
Eye irritation
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- eye irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is classified as skin irritation and the available information indicates that it should be classified as eye irritation (Category 2)
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (irritating)
Respiratory irritation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (irritating)
Additional information
Owing to the structure of ammonium tetrafluoroborate the substance is unlikely to have skin-sensitizing potential (IVDK 1998).
