Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Effects on fertility
Additional information
No studies were identified with a form of iron oxides on reproduction toxicity - fertility. However, it should be considered that adverse effects on fertility largely depend upon systemic exposure. Systemic exposure of iron oxides can be ruled out, owing to the negligible solubility of the substances in aqueous and organic solvents. See also read-across statement attached to the overall summary of Chapter 7.
Short description of key information:
Due to the lack of systemic exposure, effects of iron oxides on reproductive organs are not expected. The requirement is waived for this reason.
Effects on developmental toxicity
Description of key information
Owing to the lack of systemic exposure, effects of iron oxides on development are not expected and the requirement in question can thus be waived.
Additional information
No studies were identified with a form of iron oxides examining any developmental or/and teratogenic effects. However, it should be considered that developmental toxicity and teratogenicity can only occur in case of systemic exposure. Systemic exposure of iron oxides can be ruled out, due to the negligible solubility of the substances in aqueous and organic solvents. See also read-across statement attached to the overall summary of Chapter 7.
Justification for classification or non-classification
No classification needed, because possible endpoints require systemic exposure, which will be negligible after oral, inhalation or dermal exposure to iron oxides.
Additional information
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.
