Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Based on the increased postimplantation/perinatal lethality in F1 generation in the OECD TG 416 two-generation study at 2.2 mg Ni/kg bw/day, the NOAEL that is used for developmental toxicity for regulatory purposes is set to 2.2 mg Ni/kg bw/day.
