Stakeholders are invited to submit scientific evidence and comments before the deadline on May 9, 2025. The substances under review for hazard classes include:
1) Potassium Bromate (CAS 7758-01-2, EC 231-829-8): Germ cell mutagenicity, acute oral toxicity, and specific target organ toxicity (single exposure).
2) Sodium Bromate (CAS 7789-38-0, EC 232-160-4): Carcinogenicity, germ cell mutagenicity, acute oral toxicity, and specific target organ toxicity (single exposure).
3) Reaction Products of Ammonium Bromide and Sodium Hypochlorite (generated in-situ): Explosivity, flammability, self-reactivity, pyrophoricity, water-reactivity, oxidizing properties, metal corrosion, multiple acute toxicities (inhalation, dermal, oral), skin and eye damage, skin sensitization, germ cell mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, specific organ toxicity (single and repeated exposure), aquatic hazard, and ozone layer hazard.
