Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

For the evaluation of this endpoint data from two handbooks (CRC handbook and Merck index) and one database (Gestis database) were used as a weight of evidence.

According to ECHA, guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment – chapter R.7a, specific handbook data for physic-chemical properties are considered to be a reliable data source. Useful reference books and data compilations containing peer reviewed physico-chemical data include the Merck Index and the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.

Data available from these handbooks describe dibismuth trioxide as a yellow poder or monoclinic crystalline substance with no specific odour.
