Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Skin irritation: not irritating to skin (OECD 439; GLP)

Eye irritation: not serious eye damaging (CLP (Cat 1) but the hazardous properties of the test item with regard to corneal irritation (CLP (Cat 2)) cannot be predicted (OECD 437; GLP). The eye irritation potential of barium di(acetate) will be determined in a follow-up study and upon study completion, a robust study summary will be incorporated in the REACH registration dossier.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin irritation / corrosion

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

Skin corrosion:

The substance was observed to be neither corrosive nor irritating to skin in a reliable in vitro skin irritation study according to OECD 439; GLP.

Eye irritation:

According to a OECD 437 guideline study (GLP), barium di(acetate) is not serious eye damaging (CLP (Cat 1) but the hazardous properties of the test item with regard to corneal irritation (CLP (Cat 2)) cannot be predicted. The eye irritation potential of barium di(acetate) will be determined in a follow-up study and upon study completion, a robust study summary will be incorporated in the REACH registration dossier.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin corrosion:

The substance does not possess neither a skin corrosive nor a skin irritating potential based on an in vitro OECD 439 test and does not require classification as skin irritating/corrosive substance according to regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and its subsequent adaptations.

Eye irritation:

According to a OECD 437 guideline study (GLP), barium di(acetate) is not serious eye damaging (CLP (Cat 1) but the hazardous properties of the test item with regard to corneal irritation (CLP (Cat 2)) cannot be predicted. The eye irritation potential of barium di(acetate) will be determined in a follow-up study and upon study completion, a robust study summary will be incorporated in the REACH registration dossier.
