Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 30 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 6.4 mg/L
Additional information
A 72-hour static test was carried out according to OECD 201 test guidelines, with deviation in the test medium, to determine the acute toxicity of potassium dicyanoaurate to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Brixham 2013). A range finding test and a definitive test were performed. 3 replicates of 7 concentrations were use along with 6 replicates of the control. EC10, EC20, EC50, NOEC and LOEC values are reported based on biomass (yield) and growth rate. As measured concentrations of gold were maintained throughout the test, results are expressed as nominal concentrations.
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.
