Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met.

Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint”.

Classification related key information

Readily biodegradable: ≥ 60% in 28 days; read across

Bioaccumulation: > 4

Acute toxicity:

-             Fish: LL50 (96 h) > 20 mg/L (nominal, loading rate); read across
-            Aquatic invertebrates: EC50 (48 h) > 0.69 mg/L (measured, arithm. mean)
-            Algae: EC50 (72 h) > 0.28 mg/L (measured, arithm. mean)

Chronic toxicity: 

-            Algae: EC10 (72 h) > 0.28 mg/L (measured, arithm. mean)

Conclusion on classification

The substanceGlycerol monomyristate (CAS 27214-38-6)is readily biodegradable. The acute and chronic aquatic toxicity L(E)C50 values are > 1 mg/L for fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae. Thus the substance does not need to be classified and labelled as environmentally hazardous, according to the consolidated version of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and further amendments (ATPs).
