Description of key information
Additional information
In Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that toxicity tests with terrestrial organisms and birds shall be proposed by the registrant if the chemical safety assessment indicates the need to investigate further the effects on soil organisms. According to Annex I of this regulation, the chemical safety assessment triggers further action when the substance or the preparation meets the criteria for classification as dangerous according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Directive 1999/45/EC or is assessed to be a PBT or vPvB. The chemical safety assessment of High-Boiler reveals that it does not fulfil the criteria of a PBT or vPvB substance. From the available experimental study results on the UVCB itself as well as on main constituents there are no indications that the substance may be severely hazardous to soil organisms. According to reliable study results, High-Boiler is considered to be inherently biodegradable in the environment and the bioaccumulation potential is regarded to be insignificant. Therefore, with respect to animal welfare, the performance of toxicity tests with terrestrial organisms and birds is assumed to be not justifiable.
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.
