Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 assessment of substance toxicity to terrestrial invertebrates and terrestrial plants was not necessary as the substance is ready biodegradable, has a low adsorption potential (batch equilibrium test: Koc = 43.2 L/kg), and is of low aquatic toxicity (EC/LC50 > 1 mg/L). The substance was assigned to soil hazard category 1, according to the ITS as described in ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and CSA, R.7c. Applying the EPM method to assess the hazard for soil organisms no risks were identified and in conclusion soil toxicity testing is not required.

The assessment of substance toxicity to soil microorganisms was not necessary as the substance is not directy applied to soil. Indirect exposure to soil is also not likely since the substance is readily biodegradable and of a low adsorption potential (batch equilibrium test: Koc = 43.2 L/kg). Based on the low Henry's law constant at environmental pH it will not volatilize to any significant extent and deposition on soil can be disregarded. Further, according to ECHA guidance document R.7c testing of soil microorganisms will be necessary only in case toxicity to STP microorganisms was observed; neither in the available activated sludge respiration inhibition test (EC50 > 1000 mg/L; OECD 209, BASF, 1996), nor in the available ready biodegradability test at 100 mg/L (OECD 301F; BASF, 1997) or the test on inherent biodegradability (rapid biodegradation at 400 mg/L TOC equivalent to 656 mg/L test item; Hoechst AG, 1980) any relevant STP-microorganism toxicity was observed. Therefore, soil microorganism toxicity is not to be expected and thus no further testing required.

With regard to secondary poisoning (toxicity to birds), the available mammalian dataset may be used for the risk assessment (see Section 7). According to ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and CSA, R.7c, risk from secondary poisoning is unlikely for a substance which is readily biodegradable and has a low potential for bioaccumulation in fish and earthworms (which is the case for the submission substance).
