Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

Short-term toxicity tests for fish, invertebrates and algae are available for HHCB. The lowest toxicity value in these short-term tests is a 48h-EC50 of 0.194 mg/l for Daphnia magna. Therefore, based on the current data, the substance needs to be classified as very toxic to aquatic life.


The substance is not readily biodegradable and the experimentally determined BCF is >500, therefore it also needs to be classified as a long-term hazard to the environment. For CLP, chronic toxicity data should be used for the classification of long-term hazards if available. Chronic toxicity tests are available for fish, invertebrates and algae. The lowest NOEC / EC10 in these chronic tests is a developmental 6d-EC10 of 0.044 mg/l for Acartia tonsa. Therefore, based on the available chronic data, the substance also needs to be classified for its long-term hazard to the environment according to CLP. According to Regulation 1272/2008/EC (CLP) is H400 and H410 (Aquatic Acute 1 and Aquatic Chronic 1).
