Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- bio-accessibility in gastric fluids and sweat
- particle size distribution and relevance of “respirable fraction”
- classification via mixture toxicity rules

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The UVCB substance is a complex metal containing substance. Each individual (metal) constituent of this UVCB substance can release soluble ions that can contribute (as ‘relevant’ component) to the mixture toxicity. With knowledge of the elemental composition (IUCLID section 1.4 & 1.2) and mineralogical information on the Grade representative sample (IUCLID Section 4.23), the mixture toxicity rules (EU CLP Guidance Annex I: 3.9.3.4, and cut-off) was used to calculate the Classification of the UVCB substance.  

Chemistry and mineralogy of the material (see IUCLID section 4.23 chemical and mineralogical characterization) were taken into account.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Specific Target Organ Toxicity (repeated): not classified

The classification derived is applicable to Grade 1 Copper matte

Specific Target Organ Toxicity (repeated): Category 2 H373 (oral)

The classification derived is applicable to Grade 2 Copper matte

See end-records and discussion above for detailed justifications

The tested sample was representative for typical across industry (each Grade), defined within the concentration ranges outlined under IUCLID section 1.2
