Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 valid acute studies available for three trophic levels for 4,4´-(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)bis(2-chloroaniline) (CAS No. 107934-68-9). No toxic effects occurred up to the highest test substance concentration for algae, daphnia and fish.
In addition to these acute studies a long term test on Daphnia magna (OECD 211) is available for this substance. Due to the low water solubility of the test item, a Water Soluble Fraction (WSF) was prepared at a loading rate of 5.0 mg/L and used as the highest concentration. Lower test concentrations were prepared by diluting the highest concentration in test medium. The actual concentrations measured in the undiluted WSF at the start of each refreshment period were at the level of 1.0 to 2.0 µg/L. Significant reduction of reproduction was found at average measured exposure concentrations of 14 ng/L and higher. 4,4’-(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)bis(2-chloroaniline) did not affect reproduction of Daphnia magna at 6.8 ng/L after 21 days of exposure (NOEC). Therefore, in contrast to results of acute aquatic ecotoxicity tests, adverse effects are observed within the substances water solubility.
As given in the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment R.11 PBT-assessment (ECHA 2014) a NOEC < 0.01 mg/L triggers the T (toxicity) criterion. As the NOEC for 4,4´-(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)bis(2-chloroaniline) (CAS No. 107934-68-9) is considerably lower, the substance is regarded as toxic (T).
A further test on the toxicity to activated sludge is available for this substance (OECD 209) with no observed effects at 1000 mg/L (nominal) on respiration.Therefore, the inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced in appropriate low concentrations.
It should be noted, that due to the strictly self-contained use of the substance, environmental exposure is unlikely. The environmental exposure assessment performed for this substance (see CSR attached to IUCLID section 13) shows that indeed the Risk Characterization Ratio (i. e. PEC/PNEC ratio) in the aquatic compartment is < 1 and therefore, under the current exposure conditions, 4,4´-(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)bis(2-chloroaniline) (CAS No. 107934-68-9) does not pose a risk to aquatic organisms.
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).
