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 10-100 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: http://webnet.oecd.org/hpv/ui/sids_details.aspx?id=5c88d62f-4401-4cad-b521-521a4bd710f3
