Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The main components of the substance “Reaction product of soluble nickel salt, cobalt salt, manganese salt with alkalines” are cobalt dihydroxide, nickel dihydroxide and manganese dihydroxide.

Cobalt and nickel are considered as the main drivers for human health effects. The major and the most hazardous constituents of this intermediate are cobalt dihydroxide and nickel dihydroxide, which vary within different products 1-35% and 30 -90%, respectively. Because of fine particles (IUCLID-section 4.5: particle size), dust emissions might cause exposure through inhalation for workers, and therefore controlled by existing RMMs taken place in production processes and intermediate use under strictly controlled conditions (see section 11 of IUCLID). Because the substance is used as an intermediate, further hazard assessment is deemed unnecessary.

Cobalt dihydroxide and nickel dihydroxide are the main components of the target UVCB-substance, and considered the major drivers for adverse effects based on its properties and relative quantity in the substance. For read-across purpose, data from the constituents (cobalt dihydroxide and nickel dihydroxide) of the target UVCB-substance or the available data from cobalt and nickel compounds which are considered relevant for the target UVCB-substance is used. According to section 1.5, annex XI of regulation (EC) 1907/2006, such studies do not need to be conducted, since adequate data from structurally analogous substances are available. Therefore read-across from these compounds is justified.

The main components of the substance “Reaction product of soluble nickel salt, cobalt salt, manganese salt with alkalines” are cobalt dihydroxide, nickel dihydroxide and manganese dihydroxide.

Cobalt and nickel are considered as the main drivers for human health effects. The major and the most hazardous constituents of this intermediate are cobalt dihydroxide and nickel dihydroxide, which vary within different products 1-35% and 30 -90%, respectively. Because of intermediate use under strictly controlled conditions in industrial settings, exposure for general population is considered irrelevant (see section 11 of IUCLID), therefore further hazard assessment is deemed unnecessary.

Cobalt dihydroxide and nickel dihydroxide are the main components of the target UVCB-substance, and considered the major drivers for adverse effects based on its properties and relative quantity in the substance. For read-across purpose, data from the constituents (cobalt dihydroxide and nickel dihydroxide) of the target UVCB-substance or the available data from cobalt and nickel compounds which are considered relevant for the target UVCB-substance is used.
