Additional information - General Population

In respect of the registration Article 14 in conjunction with Annex I of the REACH Regulation requires a chemical safety assessment which includes an exposure assessment if the particular substance meets the criteria for classification as “dangerous” under the Directive 67/548/EEC or is assessed to be a PBT / vPvB. Annex I, Section 5.0 of the REACH Regulation states that the exposure assessment “shall cover any exposures that may relate to the hazards identified in Sections 1 to 4”. Thus REACH requires that the exposure assessment is closely linked to the hazard assessment, which may identify hazards either for the environment, or for human health, or for both. The hazard assessment (including the classification) as well as the performance of an exposure assessment are focused either on possible effects on the environment or on possible effects on human health. Thus, any substance of a nature identified as hazardous to human health (and a respective classification) triggers an assessment of the exposure of humans, but not of the environment. Strontium ferrite is not classified as dangerous to humans (wording of DSD) nor does it fulfil the criteria relating to health hazards (wording of EU-GHS, in particular Art. 3). Thus an exposure assessment within the Chemical Safety Assessment for strontium ferrite is not required.

Despite of that, derivation of DNELs was undertaken as far as the substance properties and the REACH regulation allow such calculations.

No DNELs are recommended for the general population. As far as it is known, strontium ferrite is produced and used not for consumer articles. Release from articles is not intended and is not foreseen. Work place exposure is already strictly controlled and, according to present measurements, strontium ferrite concentrations outside of the plants are not measurable. No foreseeable exposure of the general population is known under the scope of REACH.
