Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Nickel carbonate hydroxide is classified according to Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC with Xi, R38
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Skin irritation:
No data on the skin irritation potential of nickel carbonate and -hydroxide is available. However, information on nickel sulphate is available. It is assumed that pure nickel carbonate and -hydroxide would have similar skin irritating properties. Based on the human data for nickel sulphate, classification of nickel carbonate as Xi; R38 is considered appropriate (EU C&L Dossier and the OECD SIDS draft 2007).
Eye irritation:
No data on the eye irritation potential of nickel carbonate and -hydroxide is available. Nickel sulphate is not eye irritating, and it is not expected that the eye irritating potential of nickel carbonate and -hydroxide will exceed that of nickel sulphate. No classification for this effect is proposed (EU C&L Dossier).
According to the OECD SIDS draft 2007 the experts conclude that there is no reason to believe that the eye irritating potential of nickel hydroxy carbonate will exceed that of nickel sulphate (which is not an eye irritant). The C&L Health effects group have agreed not to classify nickel hydroxycarbonate as an eye irritant.
Justification for classification or non-classification
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.
