Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Bismuth subnitrate is a whitish, odourless powder.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
- solid
Additional information
For the evaluation of this endpoint data from sources (Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials and the Bismuth subnitrate MSDS) were used as a weight of evidence.
According to ECHA, guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment – chapter R.7a, specific handbook data for physic-chemical properties are considered to be a reliable data source.
Data available from these sources describe bismuth subnitrate as a whitish, odourless powder.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
