Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Sodium hydride is a strong base which reacts nearly spontaneously when exposed to water forming sodium hydroxide.

Thus available data for sodium hydroxide should be acceptable instead of conducting new studies.

Conclusion on classification

No aquatic toxicity data are available for Sodium hydride due to the potential for the compound to react with water. Sodium hydride is a strong base which reacts nearly spontaneously when exposed to water forming sodium hydroxide. Thus available data for sodium hydroxide should be acceptable instead of conducting new studies.

Based on the results of the ecotoxicity studies, its dissociation in the environment and lack of bioaccumulation, NaOH is not classified for the environmental compartment.
