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

Testing of terrestrial plant toxicity does not appear scientifically necessary.

Due to high lipophilicity of NExBTL renewable diesel, soils are the target compartments for the test material when released into environment, however due to rapid biodegradation this risk may be mitigated significantly. This is supported by experimental results (Baek et al., 2004) which indicated that n-C10- C20-alkanes did not have adverse effects on the growth of corn Zea maysand red beans Phaseolus nipponesi .
