Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
An overall weight of evidence approach is proposed for derivation of PNECs. For each environmental/ecotoxicological compartment the lowest PNEC has been chosen as derived for each of the read across substances. This will ensure a conservative and worst case approach in all cases as for each compartment the lowest avilable PNEC for the key read across substances will stand as the overall surrogate worst case PNEC for reaction mass of 2,2-bis(formyloxymethyl)propane-1,3-diyl diformate and formic acid.
Data from formate ions (which are formed when formic acid dissociates in water) are also used as the substance is considered to be analogous to formic acid for the purposes of ecotoxicology testing. Studies conducted using di-pentaerythritol are also used as di-pentaerythritol is considered to be analogous to pentaerythritol as it has a similar level of toxicity to aquatic species, both have low log Kow values and are largely of the same structure.
In the chemical safety assessment performed according to Article 14(3) in connection with Annex I section 3 (Environmental Hazard Assessment) no hazard was identified. Therefore according to REACH Annex I (5.0) exposure estimation is not necessary.
Conclusion on classification
No classification is triggered based on the available data, according to EEC directive 79/831/EEC Annex VI, Part II (D) as described in Commission Directive 93/21/EEC or regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. No hazards for the environment have been identified.
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.
