Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
No experimental studies investigating the phototransformation in air of ethylene diformate (CAS 629-15-2) are available.The vapour pressure reported for ethylene diformate, 172 Pa, indicates a potential of the substance for volatilization into air. Evaporation from the water phase into air is nevertheless not expected based on the low Henry’s Law constant (< 1 Pa m³/mole (HENRYWIN v3.20); Müller, 2011). However, if released into air, the substance is susceptible to indirect photodegradation by reaction with OH-radicals with a DT50 value of 104.74 h (AOPWIN v1.92; Müller, 2011). Therefore, significant accumulation in air and the subsequent transport to other environmental compartments is not anticipated. Furthermore, ethylene diformate is not listed in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 2037/2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer and does not belong to the greenhouse gases listed in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) IPCC/TEAP Special Report, 2005. This substance is thus of no concern for the air compartment.
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.
