Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In accordance column 2 of REACH Annex X, toxicity to birds testing (required in section 9.6.1.) does not need to be conducted as no concern for this endpoint is indicated in the chemical safety assessment.

As the test substance is not classified as toxic or harmful to mammals, the substance is also not considered to cause toxic effects in birds. The substance is considered to be physiologically inert and harmless.

Additionally, due to the low bioavailability (SiMn slag is insoluble) the bioaccumulation potential is negligible and thus the substance is considered not to cause any hazardous effects to predators like birds. Thus, a study with birds is scientifically unjustified. Taking also in consideration animal welfare reasons, testing with birds has been omitted.
