Category name:
Lanthanum and aluminium oxides (sparingly soluble)

Justifications and discussions

Category definition:
Lanthanum and aluminium oxides (sparingly soluble)
Category description:
Lanthanum and aluminium oxides (sparingly soluble)
Category rationale:
In a category approach, read-across is used among a number of structurally similar substances, i.e. sparingly soluble aluminium ansd lanthanum oxides. The structural similarity is based on the fact that the common (eco)toxicological moieties of concern are the aluminium and lanthanum ions. Within this category, as a result of the structural similarity, the specified toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are similar.

The similarity rules specified in Annex XI, Section 1.5 of the REACH Regulation in the REACH Guidance on IR & CSA, Chapter R.6 of apply and the category ”lanthanum and aluminium oxides (sparingly soluble)” is formed.
