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

Acute EC/LC50 values of tripotassium hexacyanocobaltate available for three trophic levels of aquatic organisms (fish, crustacea and algae) amount to > 100, > 100 and 87 mg/L respectively. Thus, all acute effect concentrations are well above classification criteria of acute (short-term) hazard to the aquatic environment under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

A long-term (chronic) EC10/NOEC value is with a 72-h EC10 of 33.35 mg/L tripotassium hexacyanocobaltate only available for algae and well above classification criteria of long-term hazard to the aquatic environment under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on the surrogate approach (Table 4.1.0 (b) (iii) of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008), tripotassium hexacyanocobaltate would also not meet chronic classification criteria since acute effect concentrations for fish and crustacea are > 100 mg/L. Criteria for the "Safety net" classification in Category Chronic 4 are also not met. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, classification for long-term aquatic hazard is not required for tripotassium hexacyanocobaltate.

In sum, tripotassium hexacyanocobaltate does not meet aquatic hazard criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and its subsequent adaptations.
