Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Nickel carbonate hydroxide is classified according to Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC with T / Canc. Cat. 1 / R49
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Justification for classification or non-classification
Additional information
No experimental data regarding carcinogenicity is available for nickel carbonate and -hydroxide.
No epidemiological study has addressed the potential carcinogenic effect of nickel carbonate or -hydroxide specifically.
EU C&L Dossier: Nickel carbonate hydroxide is classified as Carc. Cat. 1; R49 (GHS: Carc. 1A [inhalation]).
In the case of respiratory carcinogenicity, where slightly water soluble nickel compounds such as nickel subsulfide
have been demonstrated to be carcinogenic, the classification for the carcinogenicity of
nickel hydroxide carbonate should default to the worst case scenario which would be that
of a "known human carcinogen".
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.
