Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Description of key information

Substance specific data on carcinogenicity is not required for substances registered as transported isolated intermediate >1000 t/a according to Annex VII of REACH regulation. Since the registered substance Alkaline co-precipitation products of soluble cobalt, manganese and nickel salts and the different constituents of the UVCB release the same toxicological relevant unit under physiological relevant conditions, the overall toxicity of dissolved nickel, cobalt and manganese ions can be used to assess the toxicity of the registered substance for endpoints where substance specific data is not required. Therefore, data from Nickel dihydroxide, Cobalt dihydroxide, Tricobalt tetraoxide, Trimanganese tetraoxide and Manganese dioxide are used for hazard assessment based on a worst-case mixture approach.


Nickel dihydroxide is classified for carcinogenicity via inhalation as Carc. 1A (H350i) under the 1st ATP to the CLP and Cobalt dihydroxide is classified as Carc. 1B (H350i) under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. No data on carcinogenicity is available for Tricobalt tetraoxide, Trimanganese tetraoxide and Manganese dioxide is available.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the mixture approach, the registered substance is classified for carcinogenicity via inhalation as Carc. 1A (H350i) under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
