SAFETY DATA SHEET Copper

1 Copper Page 1 of 8 SAFETY DATA SHEET Copper The safety data sheet is in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/830 of 28 May 2015 amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) SECTION 1: Identification of the substance / mixture and of the company / undertaking Date issued Product identifier Product name Copper REACH Reg. No CAS no EC no Article no. Extended SDS with ES incorporated Copper Cathodes: M00k, M0k, M1k,Norilsk Kola Copper rod Yes 1.2. Relevant identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against Use of the substance/preparation Uses advised against Copper in massive form (>1mm particle sizes) does not meet the criteria for classification in accordance to the regulations EC 1272/2008 and 67/548/EEC. No safety measurements are therefore needed for copper in massive form. During production of copper in massive forms (cathodes) and during specific industrial uses (eg melting), safety measures may however be needed due to the potential occurrence of hazardous copper-bearing materials (dusts, mists, fumes) and soluble copper compounds in and around the industrial settings. This SDS has therefore focussed on the safety data and safety measures of relevance to the production and industrial uses of copper massives.

Not applicable. Symptoms of Exposure Other Information No studies have been found. SECTION 12: Ecological information Toxicity Ecotoxicity To assess the environmental classification of copper in massive form, the copper release from the 7 days transformation/dissolution data of copper in massive forms (6.7 µg Cu/L at 100mg/L, ph6) was combined with the acute reference value for the copper ions (25 µg Cu/L) (Van Sprang et al., 2010). Copper massive forms do not need to be classified for acute or chronic environmental hazards Persistence and degradability Persistence degradability additional info Persistence and degradability Not applicable. Not applicable Bioaccumulative potential Bioaccumulative potential Bioaccumulation quote from the guidance: Metals that are essential nutrients are actively regulated: removal and sequestration processes that minimise toxicity are complemented by an ability to up-regulate concentrations for essentiality. As a result, the bioaccumulative criterion is not applicable to these metals Mobility in soil Mobility Copper-ions bind strongly to the soil matrix. The binding depends on the soil properties. A median water-soil partitioning coefficient (Kp) of 2120 L/kg has been derived for soils (more details see copper Risk assessment report, 2008 and copper Chemical Safety report, 2010).
