Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effects on fertility

Description of key information

Substance specific data on effects on fertility is not required for substances registered as transported isolated intermediate >1000 t/a according to Annex VII of REACH regulation. Since the registered substance Alkaline co-precipitation products of soluble cobalt, manganese and nickel salts and the different constituents of the UVCB release the same toxicological relevant unit under physiological relevant conditions, the overall toxicity of dissolved nickel, cobalt and manganese ions can be used to assess the toxicity of the registered substance for endpoints where substance specific data is not required. Therefore, data from Nickel dihydroxide, Cobalt dihydroxide, Tricobalt tetraoxide, Trimanganese tetraoxide and Manganese dioxide are used for hazard assessment based on a worst-case mixture approach.


Cobalt dihydroxide is classified for reproductive toxicity as Repro. 1B (H360F) under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. 


Based on the available data Nickel dihydroxide, Tricobalt tetraoxide, Trimanganese tetraoxide and Manganese dioxide are not classified for effects on fertility under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information

Substance specific data on effects on developmental toxicity is not required for substances registered as transported isolated intermediate >1000 t/a according to Annex VII of REACH regulation. Since the registered substance Alkaline co-precipitation products of soluble cobalt, manganese and nickel salts and the different constituents of the UVCB release the same toxicological relevant unit under physiological relevant conditions, the overall toxicity of dissolved nickel, cobalt and manganese ions can be used to assess the toxicity of the registered substance for endpoints where substance specific data is not required. Therefore, data from Nickel dihydroxide, Cobalt dihydroxide, Tricobalt tetraoxide, Trimanganese tetraoxide and Manganese dioxide are used for hazard assessment based on a worst-case mixture approach.


Nickel dihydroxide is classified for developmental toxicity as Repro. 1B (H360D) under the 1st ATP to the CLP. Cobalt dihydroxide and Trimanganese tetraoxide are classified for developmental toxicity as Repro. 2B (H361d) under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. Based on the available data Tricobalt tetraoxide and Manganese dioxide are not classified for developmental toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the mixture approach, the registered substance is classified for toxicity to reproduction as Repro. 1B (H360FD) under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
