Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks:
These data were critically evaluated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The U.S. EPA's data evaluation criteria include an assessment of the following: 1. Soundness (i.e., the extent to which the scientific and technical procedures, measures, methods or models employed to generate the information are reasonable for, and consistent with, the intended application); 2. Applicability and Utility (i.e., the extent to which the information is relevant for the Agency's intended use); 3. Clarity and Completeness (i.e., the degree of clarity and completeness with which the data, assumptions, methods, quality assurance, sponsoring organizations and analyses employed to generate the information are documented); 4. Uncertainty and Variability (i.e., the extent to which the variability and uncertainty [quantitative and qualitative] in the information or in the procedures, measures, methods or models are evaluated and characterized); and 5. Evaluation and Review (i.e., the extent of independent verification, validation and peer review of the information or of the procedures, measures, methods or models) (EPA, 2003). These five general assessment factors are consistent with the evaluations made by the European CHemicals Agency's (ECHA)'s for assessing data quality and reliability (ECHA, 2008). Therefore, these data are considered reliable with restrictions.
