Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

PNECs were derived from the study with the most sensitive species available for each compartment/endpoint.

Conclusion on classification

Acute aquatic toxicity

Algae were the most sensitive species in acute toxicity tests with lithium bis(oxalato)borate, according to EU method and OECD guideline, resulting in a 72 -hour EC50 of 40.69 mg/L. Based on acute aquatic toxicity results obtained, LiBOB was not classified and labelled according to Directive 67/548/EC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).

Chronic toxicity:

Algae were the most sensitive species in chronic toxicity tests with lithium bis(oxalato)borate, according to EU method and OECD guideline, resulting in a 72 -hour EC 50 for growth rate was 40.69 mg/L and 72 -hour NOEC 10 mg/L. This result is in line with the chronic toxicity data for fish (NOEC 28-d 20 mg/L) and for daphnia (EC10 21-d 19 mg/L). LiBOB was shown to be ready biodegradable.

Based on chronic aquatic toxicity results obtained, LiBOB was not classified and labelled according to Directive 67/548/EC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
