Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
According to the European Chemicals Agency, 2010 (Practical guide 2: How to report weight of evidence),values for physico-chemical properties taken from material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and all other company technical data can only be assigned a reliability rating of (4), not assignable, unless detailed information such as the experimental methodology and test substance are provided to enable the preparation of a (robust) study summary and an independent evaluation of the study reliability.

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.
