Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
1) WoE: Short-term fish test (Fathead minnow); limit test; 1977; no OECD guideline (Eastman's internal method); predates GLP; LC50 (mortality, 96h) > 97 mg/L (nominal)
2) WoE: Short-term fish test (Danio rerio); limit test; 1994; EU method C.1; GLP; LC50 (mortality, 96h) > 78 mg/L (nominal, based on DOC)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The first acute study (Fathead minnow) (Hirsch, 1979) was not performed according to any specific guideline. This limit test did not show any toxicity up to 97 mg/L test substance (nominal concentration). The second test (Danio rerio) (Scholz, 1994) was performed according to the EU method C1 and GLP standards, however this was also a limit test. No toxicity was shown up to 78 mg/L test substance (nominal concentration, based on measured DOC levels). Although both tests have restrictions, they provide sufficient information to assess the absence of acute toxicity and therefore it is believed that a weight of evidence approach is most appropriate.
Both tests are limit tests, consequently no clear dose response curve could be established. Additionally, the described concentrations are well above the water solubility of the substance and therefore the test results need to be treated with caution. Nevertheless, the results of both tests do not indicate any toxicity up to 78 mg/L test substance.
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.
