Conclusion on classification

SUMMARY OF AVAILABLE DATA (key values)

Acute toxicity to aquatic organisms (pelagic):

- Fish (Brachydanio rerio): 96h-LC50 = 2.66 mg active content/L (as a LC50 value expressed in solid content was not reported, the LC50 value expressed in active content was used as a worst-case for the assessment);

- Crustaceans (Acartia tonsa): 48h-EC50 = 6.62 mg solid content/L;

- Algae (Skeletonema costatum): 72h-EC50 = 2.69 mg solid content/L.

Chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms (pelagic):

- Fish (Pimephales promelas): 32d-EC10 = 0.075 mg solid content/L;

- Crustaceans (Daphnia magna): 21d-NOEC = 1.39 mg solid content/L;

- Algae (Skeletonema costatum): 72h-NOEC = 0.9 mg solid content/L.

Environmental fate:

- Rapidly degradable in the environment (readily biodegradable in a 28-day ready biodegradation test);

- Low bioaccumulation potential (based on log Kow < 4)

All effective concentration are expressed in solid content and are relevant for the REACh-registered substance (= active content + minor constituents + impurities).

According to the CLP hazard classification criteria, the substance EC 939-455-3 does not have to be classified for acute environmental hazard but has to be classified as Aquatic Chronic 2 (H411) - Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
