Could anyone tell me, if zinc sulphate is a Poison ( 6.1) or NR
as I am organising my chemical store room and there seems to be conflicting information on this chemical.
Thanks Gayle

Hi this is jasmin, about the zinc sulfate we keep it with the NR's. If this is somehow in the wrong category please let me know :unsure:

I was always told we in NSW should go through Chemwatch. When the packaged CSIS first came out in 1998?

Today at 10.00 am est Zinc Sulfate was a N/C Non Classificated chemical.

taken from Chemwatch.
