Special Situation for Iron Oxides1 It is a common practice to categorise the ecological and toxicological

properties of inorganic metal compounds according to the metal ion.

2 The category/group concept is applied to efficiently fulfil REACH requirements.

3 Synthetic iron oxides with the formulas Fe2O3, Fe3O4 and FeOOH form a category irrespective of partial substitution of iron by manganese or zinc in the crystal lattice.
