Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effects on fertility
Description of key information
Potassium hydroxide is not expected to be systemically available in the body under normal handling and use conditions and for this reason it can be stated that the substance will neither reach the foetus nor male and female reproductive organs in effective toxic concentrations (OEDE SIDS, 2002). It can be concluded that a specific study to determine the toxicity to reproduction is not necessary.
Additional information
Short description of key information:
Potassium hydroxide is not expected to be systemically available in the body under normal handling and use conditions and for this reason it can be stated that the substance will neither reach the foetus nor male and female reproductive organs in effective toxic concentrations (OEDE SIDS, 2002). It can be concluded that a specific study to determine the effects on fertility is not necessary.
Effects on developmental toxicity
Description of key information
Potassium hydroxide is not expected to be systemically available in the body under normal handling and use conditions and for this reason it can be stated that the substance will neither reach the foetus nor male and female reproductive organs in effective toxic concentrations (OEDE SIDS, 2002). It can be concluded that a specific study to determine the developmental toxicity or teratogenicity is not necessary.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Potassium hydroxide is not classified since it is not expected to be systemically available in the body under normal handling and use conditions. For this reason it can be stated that the substance will neither reach the foetus nor male and female reproductive organs in effective toxic concentrations (OEDE SIDS, 2002).
Additional information
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.
