Classification and labelling of Sodium Hexahydroxoantimonate

Classification and labelling according to CLP/GHS

Remarks: The classification and labelling of sodium hexahydroxoantimonate is covered by a group entry in Annex VI of regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Index No. 051-003-00-9.

However, recently generated substance specific hazard data do not support the harmonised classification and labelling for this antimony compound as stated in Annex VI of regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

Therefore, an alternative proposal for the classification and labelling of sodium hexahydroxoantimonate based on substance specific data is provided as well.

Sodium Hexahydroxoantimonate (Representative sample) - proposed alternative classification

State/form of the substance: powder

Remarks: Proposal for non-classification and labelling based on substance-specific, guideline-conform experimental data with unrestricted reliability as given in the technical dossier.

No classification, so no labelling.
