Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No sediment toxicity data are available with the registered substance.
In accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex IX, there is no need to further investigate the effects of this substance in long-term sediment toxicity studies because, as indicated in guidance R.7.8.10 (ECHA 2016), the quantitative chemical safety assessment (conducted according to Annex I of REACH) indicates that the Risk Characterisation Ratio is well below 1, and therefore the risk is already adequately controlled and further testing is not justifiable.
The silanol hydrolysis products, vinylsilanetriol and 2-methoxyethanol, upon which the chemical safety assessment is based, are highly water soluble and have low log Kowvalues, therefore exposure of and accumulation in the sediment compartment is expected to be low.
The hydrolysis products have low potential for adsorption and low bioavailability (based on log Kow<3 (-2.0 and -0.77 for vinylsilanetriol and 2-methoxyethanol, respectively)), low toxicity was observed in short- and long-term aquatic tests, and there is no reason to expect any specific mechanism of toxicity beyond narcosis. Therefore, the occurrence of more severe toxic effects in the sediment compartment that were not expressed in the aquatic studies would be considered unlikely.
The PNEC calculated by the Equilibrium Partitioning Method has been determined for the purpose of deriving a chemical safety assessment and the risk characterisation ratios are below 1.
Overall it is concluded that the risk characterisation conclusion is sufficiently conservative in respect of any uncertainties and therefore further testing is not considered necessary.
Details on how the PNEC and the risk characterisation ratio have been derived can be found in IUCLID Section 6.0 and Chapters 9 and 10 of the Chemical Safety Report, respectively.
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.
