- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The incidence and severity of irritation generally decreased by 24 hours. By 72 hours all sites (intact and abraded) were free of irritation. No irritation was noted at any of the control sites during the study.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of the present study, it was concluded that undiluted Sodium Chlorate Crystal moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water induced a reversible very slight skin irritation. Therefore, the substance is not classifiable according to OECD-GHS.
- Executive summary:
A primary dermal irritation study was conducted on six albino rabbits using test substance Sodium Chlorate Crystal. The study was performed according to EPA Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, subdivision F, Hazard Evaluation: Human and Domestic Animals, November 1984, Acute Exposure, Skin Irritation. The method is equivalent to OECD Guideline 404 (acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion). The study is designed and performed according to Good Laboratory Practice Standards.
Each animal had 2 test sites (clipped and abraded) and 2 untreated control sites (clipped and abraded). On each test site 0.5 g test material moistened with 0.2 ml of distilled water was applied. A single 4 -hour, occluded application of the test material to the intact skin produced immediately after patch removal none to very slight erythema and oedema. By 48 hours these test sites were free of irritation again and the observations were only up to 72 hours. Necrosis and ulceration were not reported.
Based on the results of the present study, it was concluded that undiluted Sodium Chlorate Crystal moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water induced a reversible very slight skin irritation. Therefore, the substance is not classifiable according to OECD-GHS.

- Executive summary:

The study was performed according to EPA Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, subdivision F, Hazard Evaluation: Human and Domestic Animals, November 1984, Acute Exposure, Eye Irritation. The irritation score used is according to the recommendations by Draize (1959) and OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion). The study was designed and performed according to Good Laboratory Practice Standards.
A single application of 0.1 g of Sodium Chlorate Crystal to the left or the right eye of the rabbit produced moderate to severe redness of the conjunctivae. And all the treated conjunctivae showed moderate chemosis. Slight iritis was seen and no cornea-reaction occurred. Iris and conjunctivae effects are reversible within 7 days.
Based on the results of the present study, it was concluded that the test compound induced a reversible slight eye irritation. Therefore, the substance is not classifiable according to OECD-GHS.

Additional information
Skin irritation/corrosion:
A key study was identified (Shapiro, PSL, 1991, rel. 1, K).
A primary dermal irritation study was conducted on six albino rabbits using test substance Sodium Chlorate Crystal. The study was performed according to EPA Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, subdivision F, Hazard Evaluation: Human and Domestic Animals, November 1984, Acute Exposure, Skin Irritation. The method is equivalent to OECD Guideline 404 (acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion). The study is designed and performed according to Good Laboratory Practice Standards.
Each animal had 2 test sites (clipped and abraded) and 2 untreated control sites (clipped and abraded). On each test site 0.5 g test material moistened with 0.2 ml of distilled water was applied. A single 4 -hour, occluded application of the test material to the intact skin produced immediately after patch removal none to very slight erythema and oedema. By 48 hours these test sites were free of irritation again and the observations were only up to 72 hours. Necrosis and ulceration were not reported.
Based on the results of the present study, it was concluded that undiluted Sodium Chlorate Crystal moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water induced a reversible very slight skin irritation. Therefore, the substance is not classifiable according to OECD-GHS.
