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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 266-007-8 | CAS number: 65996-74-9 The oxidized surface of steel produced during reheating, conditioning, hot rolling, and hot forming operations. This substance is usually removed by process waters used for descaling, roll and material cooling, and other purposes. It is subsequently recovered by gravity separation techniques. Composed primarily of high-purity iron oxides. May contain varying amounts of other oxides, elements, and trace compounds.

Description of key information
Additional information
In this dossier, the endpoint exposure related observations in humans are not addressed by substance-specific information, but instead by a weight of evidence approach based on collected information for all iron substances of the iron category. The assessment of the effects in humans of iron and its substances is related to the assumption that once inorganic iron compounds or iron metal become bioavailable, this will be in the form of the ionic iron cation. Further assuming that the anion of such inorganic iron compounds can be regarded as “inert” with regard to repeated dose toxicity, the subsequent discussion focuses on the iron cation. Further information on the read-across approach is given in the report attached to IUCLID section 13.2.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
