Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex X, reproductive toxicity tests to birds (required in section 9.6.1) do not need to be conducted as a mammalian dataset is available (see toxicological studies). According to its physico-chemical properties lithium carbonate is not expected to be distributed into soil and the ad-/desorption behaviour does not indicate that lithium will be present in the soil. The log Kd value for soil was found to be 2.57, i.e. adsorption potential to soil can be regarded as neglible (refer to IUCLID section 5.4). According to the available information, an input via sludge application on agricultural soil is considered to be negligible, as lithium carbonate does not adsorb to the sewage sludge to a significant extent. It can be concluded, that the risk for birds / the terrestrial compartment is low and no further information and/or testing is needed.
