Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that long-term toxicity testing shall be proposed by the registrant if the chemical safety assessment indicates the need to investigate further the effects on sediment organisms.
According to Annex I of this regulation, the chemical safety assessment triggers further action when the substance or the preparation meets the criteria for classification as dangerous according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Directive 1999/45/EC or is assessed to be a PBT or vPvB.
The hazard assessment of BA reveals neither a need to classify the substance as dangerous for the environment, nor is it a PBT or vPvB substance. Furthermore, due to the physico-chemical properties of the substance and its ready biodegradability, a considerable exposure of the sediment compartment is unlikely.
Therefore, a long-term toxicity study in sediment organisms is not provided. The PNEC sediment can be estimated based on the equilibrium partitioning method.
