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

In Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that toxicity tests in terrestrial plants 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 terrestrial plants. 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 a toxicity test with terrestrial plants is assumed to be not justifiable.
