Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Toxicity to soil microorganisms except arthropods
The study does not need to be conducted because direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.
Toxicity to terrestrial arthropods
The study does not need to be conducted because direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.
Toxicity to terrestrial plants
The study does not need to be conducted because direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.
Toxicity to soil microorganisms
The study does not need to be conducted because direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.
Additional information
In accordance with column 2 Annex IX section 9.4 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), the studies on terrestrial toxicity do not need to be conducted because direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment to the substance is unlikely (exposure considerations).
The release of the long-chain alkyl methacrylate esters (C12–C22) into air is very limited due to the extremely low vapour pressure. Therefore, occurrence in the soil will be very limited as well. Nevertheless, the esters are readily biodegradable and will not persist in soil. Furthermore, an indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge transfer is unlikely. In addition, no direct releases to soil from point sources are known. Therefore, significant exposure of soil microorganisms is not expected.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
