Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

OBSH is classified for the environment as Aquatic Acute 1; H400 (M=1) and Aquatic Chronic 1; H410 (M=1).


This is based on the lowest acute toxicity data in the range of 0.1 mg/L - 1 mg/L (i.e., 72h-ErC50 of 0.35 mg/L, algae, mean measure concentration), and chronic toxicity data in the range 0.01 - 0.1 mg/L (i.e., 72h-NOErC of 0.059 mg/L, algae, mean measure concentration). Hydrolysis half-life of OBSH is < 16 days, but it cannot be demonstrated that hydrolysis products do not fulfil the criteria for classification as hazardous to the aquatic environment. Therefore, the substance is considered not rapidly degradable (please refer to CLP regulation (section 4.1.2.9.4) and ECHA Guidance ((ECHA, 2017), Annex II.4).


Furthermore, for substances where the degradation half-life is less than 12 hours as it is the case for OBSH, environmental effects are likely to be attributed to the hydrolysis products rather than to the parent substance itself (CLP Guidance (ECHA, 2017), chapter 4.1.3.1.1.). One of the hydrolysis products, i.e. hydrazine is harmonised classified as Aquatic Acute 1 and Aquatic Chronic 1 (Index number 007-008-00-3).
