Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
There are reliable, high quality data available for each of the appropriate short term ecotoxicity endpoints and in many cases additional supporting studies are also available. In each case the key study was selected on grounds of its scientific reliability and level of compliance with both the appropriate testing guideline and GLP criteria.
The key values for assessing the acute aquatic toxicity of dimethyltin dichloride were as follows:
Short-term toxicity to fish: 96 hour LC50 > 100 mg/L (Brachydanio rerio)
Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates: 48 h EC50 = 17 mg/L (Daphnia magna)
Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria: 72 h ErC50 = 37 mg/L (Scenedesmus subspicatus)
Aquatic invertebrates were therefore considered to be the most sensitive trophic group to dimethyltin dichloride.
The effect of the test item on the respiration of activated sewage sludge gave a 3-Hour EC50 value of 79 mg/L.
No long-term aquatic toxicity studies were performed as the chemical safety assessment concluded that the substance was of no immediate concern to the environment. The available data are adequate for classification and labelling purposes and PBT assessment and as such no further testing is considered to be necessary at this stage.
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.
