If you are responsible for authoring safety data sheets, preparing chemical registration dossiers, or performing chemical risk assessment, you need to have access to the phsyicochemical properties, toxicology data and eco-toxicology data of a chemical first. Required data can be extensive and expensive.
Do you really understand why those data is needed for performing your regulatory tasks?
In this article, we will help you understand common physicochemical, toxicology and eco-toxicology data endpoints and their regulatory implications. We will start with physicochemical properties first and then move to toxicology and eco-toxicology part(including environmental fate).
- Physical State, Appearance & Odour;
- Melting point;
- Boiling Point;
- Relative Density;
- Flash Point;
- Auto-ignition Temperature;
- Vapor Pressure;
- Henry's Law Constant;
- Surface Tension;
- Water Solubility;
- n-Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient;
- pH;
- Flammability;
- Oxidising Properties;
- Explosive Properties;
- Granulometry;
- Explosive Limits;
- Viscosity;
