Description of key information
Indirect exposure of the substance to soil cannot be excluded. Therefore, according to column 2 of annex IX of Reach regulation, "in the absence of toxicity data for soil organisms, the equilibrium partitioning method may be applied to assess the hazard to soil organisms". ECHA's guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, chapter R.7c (v4.0 ; June 2017 ; pp.158 -159) explains how EPM should be used. In the absence of any soil toxicity data, a soil hazard category must be assigned to the substance. The substance is not readily biodegradable but not H400/H410. It falls therefore within the scope of soil hazard category 3. For substances which are not in the soil hazard category 1, it is considered that soil microorganisms are not covered by EPM. Therefore, a study according to OECD 216 guideline is proposed.

Additional information
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.
