Sheila - yes, that is correct. Sometimes you'll see:

STOT-SE (Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Single Exposure)
STOT-RE (Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Repeated Exposure)

When I prepare SDSs, I usually spell it out.

I'm not sure about "new" but it is the one that is being used by several manufacturers.

Valued colleagues:

I'm reading several SDS from our vendor (Chemwatch) and finding the acronym/initialism: STOT.

Most reasonable definition I've been able to find is Specific Target Organ Toxicity.

Is that correct? Is this a new abbreviation? A very old one?
