Provided are sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate crystals capable of long-term storage that have improved stability of sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate, which is effective as an oxidizing 5 agent or bactericide, in the vicinity of normal temperatures, and a method for producing the same. The sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate crystals are such that peaks appear at the locations of the angles of diffraction described in Table 1 of claimover a range of 10&#xb0;&#x2264;2&#x3b8; (angle of diffraction)&#x2264;65&#xb0; as measured by powder X-ray diffraction using a Cuk&#x3b1; radiation source.
