Additional information
Strontium ferrite is highly insoluble in water,
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, No 9.1.3, the study on short-term toxicity on fish does not need to be conducted if there are mitigating factors indicating that toxicity is unlikely to occur, for instance if the substance is highly insoluble in water.
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, No 9.1.1, the study on short-term toxicity on invertebrates does not need to be conducted if there are mitigating factors indicating that toxicity is unlikely to occur, for instance if the substance is highly insoluble in water.
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, No 9.1.2, the study on short-term toxicity on aquatic plants (preferably algae) does not need to be conducted if there are mitigating factors indicating that toxicity is unlikely to occur, for instance if the substance is highly insoluble in water.
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, No 9.1.4, the study on activated sludge respiration inhibition testing (toxicity to microorganisms) does not need to be conducted if there are mitigating factors indicating that microbial toxicity is unlikely to occur, for instance if the substance is highly insoluble in water.
In Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that long-term toxicity testing in fish or aquatic invertebrates shall be proposed by the registrant if the chemical safety assessment indicates the need to investigate further the effects on the respective group of organisms. According to Annex I of this regulation, the chemical safety assessment triggers further action when the substance or the preparation meets the criteria for classification as dangerous according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Directive 1999/45/EC or is assessed to be a PBT or vPvB. The hazard assessment of strontium ferrite reveals neither a need to classify the substance as dangerous to the environment, nor is it a PBT or vPvB substance, nor are there any further indications that the substance may be hazardous to the environment. Therefore, and in case of fish for reasons of animal welfare, a long-term toxicity testing in fish is not required.
One can conclude that strontium ferrite need not to be classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment.
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).
