Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Additional information

The environmental stability of Choline hydroxide is not assessed experimentally. Concerning phototransformation in different compartments (i.e. air, soil and water) no information is available and represents no mandatory requirement for a registration under REACH.

The reliable read-across substance Choline chloride (CAS 67-48-1) was found to be readily biodegradable (BASF AG, 1984), which can be also presumed for the target substance Choline hydroxide. For further information and the detailed description of the read-across procedure, please refer to the separate read-across statement by Chemservice S.A. (2013). Based on the biodegradability, no experimental investigation concerning hydrolysis is triggered and this endpoint can be waived in accordance to REACH, Annex VIII, Section 9.2.2.1, column 2.
