UVCBs
15 Complex substances such as slags and drosses – inorganic UVCBs (iUVCBs) – which are generated as by-products from producing and transforming lead are also covered by the Consortium.
This page lists the iUVCBs managed by the Consortium, with links to composition information and infomration from the Lead Registration dossiers published on the ECHA CHEM website.
To find out more about the iUVCBs manufactured and used in lead production, click on the process flow chart image to expand a diagram describing the different processes in lead smelting and refining.
Note that the Consortium is currently engaged in a review of substance ID profiles of its UVCB substances. Also note that grade names (e.g. No skin sensitization grade) are historic and may not reflect current classification; the grade names will be amended as part of Lead Registrant dossier updates which will review substance ID, classification, hazard assessment and risk characterisation. Contact the secretariat for more information.
