Hazard properties this entry typically carries

Pickling acids — corrosive, irritant and ecotoxic (dissolved metals).

These are the hazard properties this EWC entry typically carries, not a classification of any particular load. Under WM3, whether a hazard property applies depends on the substances actually present and their concentrations — the producer is responsible for assessing each consignment.
