Conclusion on classification
The poorly soluble substance chromium iron oxide is evaluated by comparing the dissolved metal ion levels resulting from the transformation/dissolution test after 7 days (acute) and 28 days (chronic) at a loading rate of 1 mg/L with the lowest acute and chronic ecotoxicity reference values (ERVs) as determined for the (soluble) metal ions, respectively. The ERVs are based on the lowest EC50/LC50 (acute) or NOEC/EC10 (chronic) values for algae, invertebrates and fish. Acute and chronic ERVs were obtained from the Metals classification tool (MeClas) database as follows: For trivalent chromium and iron ions, the acute and chronic ERVs are above 1 mg/L, respectively, and a concern for short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic) toxicity was not identified (no classification). According to ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (Version 5.0, July 2017), “Where the acute ERV for the metal ions of concern is greater than 1 mg/l the metals need not be considered further in the classification scheme for acute hazard.” Further, ”Where the chronic ERV for the metal ions of concern corrected for the molecular weight of the compound (further called as chronic ERV compound) is greater than 1 mg/L, the metal compounds need not to be considered further in the classification scheme for long-term hazard.” Due to the lack of an acute and chronic aquatic hazard potential for soluble trivalent chromium and iron ions and the fact that dissolved chromium and iron concentrations were below the LOD of 0.5 µg/L after 7 and 28 days at pH 6 in the T/D test, respectively, it can be concluded that the substance chromium iron oxide is not sufficiently soluble to cause short- or long-term toxicity at the level of the acute or chronic ERVs (expressed as EC50/LC50 or NOEC/EC10, respectively).
In accordance with Figure IV.4 “Classification strategy for determining acute aquatic hazard for metal compounds” and Figure IV.5 „Classification strategy for determining long-term aquatic hazard for metal compounds “of ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (Version 5.0, July 2017) and section 4.1.2.10.2. of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance chromium iron oxide is poorly soluble and does not meet classification criteria for acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) aquatic hazard.
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).
