Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The PNEC for the aquatic environment are derived from the lowest long-term results (EC10 or NOECs) observed in the available three species (fish, Daphnia and algae) representing three trophic levels by applying the appropriate assessment factors.

Four long-term toxicity tests were available on this substance, which reported EC10 or NOECs based on the nominal concentrations and on mean measured concentrations. As there were no adverse effects seen in any study, it was decided that the nominal values should be used. In all four acute studies the lowest NOEC value was 0.06 mg/L, therefore this figure was used to calculate the PNECs.

 

PNEC STP was derived from the available study on microbial respiration inhibition, giving a NOEC of 1000 mg/L, by applying an assessment factor of 10. The PNEC secondary poisoning was derived from the available information on repeated dose toxicity of 1000 g/kg bw/day by applying an assessment factor of 90.

 

For sediment PNECs, wet weight PNECs were calculated using equilibrium partitioning as described in Guidance R.10 and R.16, conversion to dry weight was performed using a factor of 4.6.

 

PNEC for soil is derived from the available study on short-term toxicity test(s) of earthworm, giving a LC50 > 1000 mg/kg dw soil by applying an assessment factor of 1000.

Conclusion on classification

Environmental classification and labelling of a substance is generally based on the data from short-term aquatic toxicity results and adequate chronic toxicity data for all three trophic levels.

The lowest short-term L(E)C50 was greater than nominal concentration of 100 mg/L from all three acute toxicity studies.

Adequate chronic toxicity data available for all three trophic levels with NOEC/EC10 all equal to or greater than the limit nominal concentration or highest nominal concentration.

Based on the above data, the test substance is not classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment according to the CLP Regulation1272/2008/EC.
