ECHA is currently soliciting scientifically valid information and studies from third parties concerning hazard endpoints for various substances. Stakeholders are invited to contribute relevant data and studies, with specific details provided for each proposal, including deadlines and submission formats. Sodium chlorite is one such substance undergoing scrutiny, with proposed testing for long-term fish toxicity and genetic toxicity in vivo. Stakeholders can submit comments by 28th June, 2024. Alternatives to vertebrate testing are encouraged, and ECHA will respond to third-party contributions.
