Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Hydrolysis:
Sodium hydride is a strong base which reacts nearly spontaneously when exposed to water forming sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Thus according to Annex XI part 2, it is not technically feasible to test for hydrolysis.
Biodegradation:
Sodium hydride is an inorganic compound and therefore the biodegradadtion endpoint is waived in accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII. Further data on biodegradation are also not possible to generate due to the substance being inorganic, and water reactive.
Bioaccumulation:
The data bioaccumulation for sodium hydride is waived in accordance with REACH Annex XI, the study is not technically feasible because the test substance is reactive with water. Once this substance has reacted with water it produces sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Sodium hydroxide is highly water soluble and therefore will not bioaccumulate.
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.
