Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
According to Table R.7.11-2, Chapter R.7c of the ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (version 2.0, November 2014), substances with a log Kow>5 and EC/LC50>1 mg/L (no toxicity at the highest loading rate tested (100 mg/L) on fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae for the registered substance), have to be assigned in soil category 3. As mentioned in Table R.7.11 -2, the approach for screening assessment of the terrestrial hazard in this soil category is to evaluate the risk based on EPM and to conduct a confirmatory long-term soil toxicity testing with the most sensitive organism identified in the aquatic toxicity data.
Likewise,according to the section R.7.11.5.3., Chapter R.7c of the ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (version 2.0, November 2014), “the data required should cover not just different taxa but also different pathways of exposure (e.g. feeding, surface contact), and this should be taken into account when deciding on the adequacy and relevance of the data. Thus earthworm testing allows potential uptake via each of surface contact, soil particle ingestion and porewater, while plant exposure will be largely via porewater.”.
Therefore, the test substance being assigned in soil category 3, the registrant proposes to evaluate the risk based on EPM and to perform a long-term test on soil earthworm according to the OECD 222 testing guideline. This test will be carried out concurrently with the aquatic bioaccumulation test.
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.
