Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Data on in vitro genotoxicity of other poorly soluble and insoluble Chromium(III) compounds are reviewed, including Chromium(III) oxide (Cr2O3), chromite ore (Cr2O3· Fe2O3· Al2O3) and cupric chromite (Cr2O3· 2CuO). These compounds were genotoxic only, when contaminated with Cr(VI).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

In a single study with Chromium(III) hydroxide by in E. coli no DNA damage was seen.
Executive summary:

Water-insoluble chromium(III) compounds were studied. In a single study with Chromium(III) hydroxide by Yagi & Nishioka (1977) in E. coli no DNA damage was seen.
