Nickel bis(sulphamidate)

GHS

General Information

Name:

Nickel Sulphamate

Implementation:

EU

Type of classification:

harmonised classification

Remarks:

• Ni sulphamate has not previously been classified for acute oral or inhalation toxicity in the EU. However, a recently completed OECD-guideline compliant study reported an oral LD50=1098 mg/kg Ni sulphamate. Based on this newly generated data, Ni sulphamate now has a harmonized classification as Acute Tox. 4; H302 according to the 14^th ATP to the CLP Regulation. In addition, a comprehensive read-across assessment was recently completed based on bioaccessibility data in synthetic lung fluids of various nickel compounds combined in vivo verification data for three source nickel substances. The bioaccessibility-based paradigm presented in a summary document in Section 7.2.2 and Appendix B2 of the CSR enables grouping of target Ni substances for classification purposes according to bioaccessibility in interstitial fluid as demonstrated. The outcome of this assessment indicates that Ni sulphamate should be read-across from Ni sulphate for acute inhalation toxicity. Therefore, application of this read-across paradigm suggests that Ni sulphamate should be classified as Acute Tox 4.; H332. This nickel sulphamate classification profile reflects a newly harmonized (according to the 14^th ATP to the CLP) acute oral classification of Acute Tox. 4; H302 and an acute inhalation self-classification of Acute Tox. 4; H332.
• In the Labelling section, the hazard pictogram GHS08 (health hazard), associated with the respiratory sensitization 1 classification, overrides the hazard pictogram GHS07 (exclamation mark) for skin sensitization 1 according to the Guidance on Labelling and Packaging in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
