GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not conisdered harmful under the conditions used.
Executive summary:

Original citation not found, but figures used for assessment by other regulatory agencies in Europe and US

Note that the concluded toxicity contradicts the CLP Annex VI classification for oxalic acid (perhaps based on data from tests with local damage from the acid?), but this classification can be disregarded for the assessment of the chromium oxalate that is of low irritancy.
