Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Rangefinder studies showed no toxicity at nominal concentrations up to 10 mg L-1 (highest concentration tested). Analytical monitoring of both the organic ligand and platinum showed very low concentrations of platinum and the organic ligand could be detected in solution. As the test item is very poorly soluble and it was not possible to get more of the test item into solution, aquatic toxicity is not expected at the limit of solubility and this was demonstrated in the rangefinding studies. Definitive ecotoxicity tests were therefore not conducted for this substance.

Conclusion on classification

Based on the results from solubility trials it is concluded that neither the organic ligand nor the platinum component of Karstedt concentrate will enter solution in high enough amounts to lead to aquatic toxicity. This is supported by the results of the rangefinder studies conducted with three trophic levels at a highest nominal concentration of 10 mg L-1. As it is not possible to get more of the test item in solution, conducting definitive ecotoxicity studies is not considered to be necessary. To conclude on environmental classification the standard approach would be to test up to a nominal concentration of 100 mg L-1. However, for this substance testing at a nominal concentration of 100 mg L-1 is considered to be unnecessary, as the limit of solubility appears to have been reached at the nominal concentration of 10 mg L-1, and testing at higher concentrations would not lead to additional test item in solution. As no toxicity was observed at the limit of solubility in the rangefinder studies, neither an acute or chronic environmental classification is considered to be required for the substance.
