Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A large data set of studies are available on calcium carbonate, both laboratory studies using test animals and human data reported in the public domain. These studies are considered to be relevant to SFL based on the fact that SFL is primarily composed of calcium carbonate and other calcium salts and hence the properties of SFL are governed by those of calcium carbonate. The toxicity profile of calcium carbonate and SFL in birds can therefore be predicted from that reported in the mammalian studies.
