Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. As relevant information, "Zinc peroxide is insoluble in water but can be decomposed slowly by water" (Merck (14th, 2006)), "When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapours of zinc oxide (ZnO)" (Sax (11th, 2004)) and "Systemic toxicity is similar to zinc oxide" (Sax (11th, 2004)). For classification of health hazards, refer to its relative substance, zinc oxide (ZnO) (CAS 1314-13-2). |
