Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Short-term toxicity to fish
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
The short term fish toxicity was determined to be > 100 mg/L for the LC50 and > 100 mg/L for the NOEC, following Testing guidelines OECD 201 as well as EU C1
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water fish
Fresh water fish
- Effect concentration:
- 100 mg/L
Additional information
The results for the LC50 and the NOEC (both > 100 mg/L) are based on the nominal loading of the test item. Since it is not possible to detect the substance graphite in the test solution, no other value than the loading amount is available. Due to the poor water solubility oft he test item the medium for the fish test was prepared according to OECD Guidance 23 "GUIDANCE DOCUMENT ON AQUATIC TOXICITY TESTING OF DIFFICULT SUBSTANCES AND MIXTURES" as water accommodated fraction (WAF).
Although the substance graphite itself appears not to be bioavailable, toxic effects cannot be excluded, because of the unknown influence of its impurities. This is why the test item used for the acute fish test consist of a mixture of two different graphite qualities, representing a typical spectrum of graphite's impurities. In the limit test conducted, no significant signs of toxicity were observed. In conclusion neither the material graphite itself nor its impurities reached concentrations where aquatoxic effects occur.
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.
