1 CHEMICAL SAFETY REPORT Update 2: Submitted March 2016 (Replaces 1st Update of May 2013, and original version submitted 2010) Substance Name: EC Number: CAS Number: Registrant's Identity: Climax Molybdenum B. V., Lead Registrant Joint Submission Name: MOCONJS-OCTAMOLY Important Notes: 1. Please refer to Assessment Report 001 in the IUCLID dossier, for the ECHA Helpdesk response clarifying that the inclusion of this substance as a (potential) carcinogen in ECHA s common screening round 3 of January 2016 was a false hit. 2. Although this technical dossier is prepared to comply with data requirements > 1000 tonnes, the EU market reality is far less than that volume for this niche low-volume substance, as reflected in the current only two REACH-Registrations shown on the REACH Dissemination portal, where ECHA indicates an aggregate tonnage of tonnes. 3. See also the 2014 OECD Highly Soluble Molybdenum Salts Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) dataset (containing primarily sodium molybdate data used for read-across in many instances in this CSR), which is attached to this CSR. The afore-mentioned MAD status data is likewise: a) contained in the relevant individual sections within this CSR. b) also downloadable from the OECD website at:
