Unknown Toxicity is missing in section 2 #239

Closed dirk-qualisys closed 2 years ago

Needs a numerical field for dermal, oral and inhalative percentage values of unknown toxicity, plus a phrase field for remarks.

In my opinion a marker at the ToxicologicalInformation of the component in section 3 would be better for that. I think the text in section 2 of the sds is mostly auto-generated from the software.

Components in section 3 are listed with percentage ranges, while the unknown toxicity should be a specific value. Also, section 3 may or may not cover the full formulation, and unlisted ingredients can contribute to the unknown toxicity.

Therefore, I believe we need to stick to the original description of adding one percentage values per exposure route to section 3. For any software that covers the full formulation however, I would much prefer your idea of having a flag per ingredient!

As toxicity calculation with unknown toxicity > 10% has a different formula in UN GHS (and not just in CLP), this needs to be applied to all covered regions.

The same is true for mixture ATE values which are important for toxicity classification when a mixture is an ingredient of another product. Thus these need to be transferred from the EU to general classification fields.
