Additional information

No studies on terrestrial organisms are available for the substance.

According to Regulation (EC) 1907 (2006) Annex IX, section 9.4.1 to 9.4.3, column 2, studies on the toxicity to soil organisms do not need to be conducted as the substance is considered to be readily biodegradable. The test substance is not supposed to be directly applied to soil and an indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge transfer is unlikely since the substance is readily biodegradable, (BASF SE 2012, 29G0286/05G008; BASF SE 2019, 22G0286/05G024, 22G0286/05G025; see IUCLID Ch. 5.2.1; for details see IUCLID Ch. 5.2.1). For a substance being considered as „readily biodegradable“, it can be assumed that it will be biodegraded within the STP process and as a consequence a transfer to the soil compartment is not expected. As the log Koc and log Kow of the substance are below 3, a low adsorption potential is indicated (see IUCLID Ch. 5.4.1). Hence, an adsorption to activated sludge is unlikely. Based on the low log Kow and the low measured and estimated BCF values, bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms is not to be expected (see IUCLID Ch. 5.3.1). As a consequence, no tests on terrestrial organisms are provided.

In Annex XI Section 3, it is laid down that testing in accordance with sections 8.6 and 8.7 of Annex VIII and in accordance with Annex IX may be omitted, based on the exposure scenario(s) developed in the Chemical Safety Report (“Substance-Tailored Exposure-Driven Testing”). In accordance with Annex XI Section 3, it can be demonstrated in the risk assessment that the manufacture and the use of the substance do not pose an unacceptable risk for all environmental compartments as the risk characterization ratios (RCRs) of the chemical safety assessment are below 1 for all compartments (RCR < 1; see Chemical Safety Report Ch. 10). 

Consequently, no tests on soil organisms are performed. The equilibrium partitioning method has been used for assessing the hazard to soil organisms in accordance with Annex IX, Section 9.4, Column 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
