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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- hydrolysis
- Type of information:
- other: expert statement
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Expert judgement
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Preliminary study:
- Not applicable
- Transformation products:
- not specified
- Key result
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable
- Remarks:
- The material is a salt that is known to dissociate (hydrolyze) in water upon dissolution. Testing is considered impossible based on chemical principles as the anticipated concentration of undissociated material is near zero.
- Endpoint:
- hydrolysis
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable

Dissociates in water to calcium ion and formate ions. Both of these are considered stable in water.
A carboxylic acid is generally the final product of hydrolysis reactions.
Description of key information
Dissociates in water to calcium ion and formate ions. Both of these are considered stable in water.
A carboxylic acid is generally the final product of hydrolysis reactions (Lyman, 1990).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be performed if the substance is readily biodegradable. Calcium diformate is readily biodegradable (read across: sodium formate; OECD 306; KM Lab, 1998).
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.
