Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Three short-term studies were available for the three standard aquatic organisms (fish, daphnia and algae). The substance did not show toxic effects to to fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae at its saturation level in the respective test medium. PNECs could not be derived as the substance showed no toxic effects in studies performed in the range of its solubility. At the present state of knowledge, no negative ecological effects are expected. The substance is not expected to pose an unacceptable risk to the aquatic environment since it is not harmful to aquatic organisms up to its limit of solubility in water and there is expected to be very low aquatic exposure based on its very low solubility in water.

No toxicity was observed in a OECD 209 study at the highest dose tested. No PNEC can thus be derived.

As there are no tests on sediment and soil dwelling organisms available, and as no PNEC aquatic could be derived, no PNEC values for soil and sediment can be derived either by using assessment factors or by the equilibrium partitioning method.

Conclusion on classification

No toxicity of the substance in the range of its solubility has been recorded in any of the three acute studies. In all trophic levels no toxic effects occurred up to the limit of solubility in the respective test media. Therefore, the test substance can be considered as not toxic to aquatic organisms and not posing an aquatic toxicity hazard. As the substance is considered as poorly water-soluble and does not rapidly biodegrade, the "safety net" classification does apply as the log Kow is =>4 indicating a potential for bioaccumulation. Therefore, a conservative approach is followed and it is proposed that the substance is classified Chronic Cat. 4.
