Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
Abiotic degradation / hydrolysis
The performance of a test for hydrolysis as function of pH is scientifically unjustified. The study does not need to be conducted as lithium bromide completely dissociates in water forming lithium cation and the corresponding bromide anion.
Biotic degradation
Biodegradation in water: screening test, Biodegradation in water and sediment, Biodegradation in soil
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VII, section 9.2.1.1, biodegradation tests do not need to be conducted as lithium bromide is an inorganic substance.
Bioaccumulation in aquatic/sediment
In accordance to column 2 of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex IX, section 9.3.2, the Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) does not need to be determined as lithium bromide is expected to have a low potential for bioaccumulation. The theoretical, calculated log Pow is -0.37 (EPIWIN calculation), i.e. very low, as expected for an inorganic salt. Therefore no testing on bioaccumulation is needed.
Adsorption/desorption
In accordance to column 2 of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VIII, section 9.3.1, the adsorption/desorption screening test does not need to be conducted as due to its physico-chemical properties a low adsorption potential for lithium bromide is expected. The theoretical, calculated log Pow is -0.37 (EPIWIN calculation), i.e. very low, as expected for an inorganic salt. For risk assessment, the Koc value for lithium bromide was calculated using EPIWIN v4.10. A log Koc of 1.121 (Koc = 13.22 L/kg) was derived for lithium bromide.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
