Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Sodium (S)-lactate is readily biodegradable and furthermore exhibits only negligible adsorption potential hence is very unlikely to be indirectly emitted to soil via sewage sludge. Direct exposure of soil can be excluded beforehand based on the use patterns (no uses involving direct release to soil). Most notably, sodium (S)-lactate is not hazardous to aquatic organisms: Any effects seen in aquatic toxicity studies with lactic acid can be attributed to a pH effect. Neutral lactate, however, does not exert any adverse effects on environmental organisms at concentration ranges relevant for testing, classification & labelling, and risk assessment. Applying the equilibrium partitioning method (EPM), the conclusion of no hazard can be extrapolated to the terrestrial compartment. Thus, the criteria of REACH Annex IX, point 9.4, column 2 are fulfilled (insignificant exposure of soil, hazard conclusion via EPM), whereupon testing of effects on terrestrial organisms is not required.
Additional information
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.
