Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
adsorption / desorption: screening
Type of information:
read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
For the REACH registration of dilithium tetraborate, a theoretical statement was prepared stating that in accordance with the REACH Regulation, the study on the adsorption coefficient (Koc) on soil and on sewage sludge cannot be performed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method as described in OECD guideline 121 for an inorganic substance or mineral salt test item such as dilithium tetraborate. This statement is also applicable for the UVCB-Reaction products of boric acid and lithium hydroxide. Read across to the theoretical statement prepared for dilithium tetraborate is proposed to cover the adosprtion/desorption endpoint for the REACH registration of the UVCB-Reaction products of boric acid and lithium hydroxide.
Remarks on result:
not determinable because of methodological limitations
Remarks on result:
not determinable because of methodological limitations
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The study on the adsorption coefficient (Koc) on soil and on sewage sludge cannot be performed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method as described in OECD guideline 121 for an inorganic substance or mineral salt test item such as lithium tetrahydroxyborate.
Executive summary:
