Further information
Full text of the H phrases, hazard statements and EU risk phrases in Section 16 Cement dust may cause irritation of the respiratory system. When cement reacts with water, for instance when making concrete or mortar, or when the cement becomes damp, a strong alkaline solution is produced. Due to the high alkalinity, wet cement may provoke skin and eye irritation. It may also cause an allergic reaction in some individuals due to the soluble Cr(VI) content.* Cement is either naturally low in soluble chromium VI or reducing agents have been added to control the levels of sensitising soluble chromium (VI) to below 2mg/kg (0.0002%) of the total dry weight of the cement ready for use according to legislation specified under Section 15.*

Additional information
Skin contact with wet cement, fresh concrete or mortar may cause irritation, dermatitis or burns. May cause damage to products made of aluminium or other non-noble metals.
2.3 Other hazards
Cement does not meet the criteria for PBT or vPvB in accordance with Annex XIII of REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006). The product contains chromate, whereby the content of water-soluble chromium (VI) is less than 0.0002%. (determined according to EN 196-10). At not proper storage (access of moisture) or superposition the chromate reducing agent may lose its effectiveness and it can not be excluded a sensitizing effect of the cement in contact with skin.
