Description of key information
Dilactide is rapidly hydrolysed to lactic acid. Lactic acid is therefore the only relevant species in the environment. Lactic acid is readily biodegradable and is a ubiquitous and essential molecule of life. It will not adsorb to soil (see IUCLID section 5.4.1). Direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely, and thus the study does not need to be conducted, see column 2 of REACH Annex IX, point 9.4.
Moreover, lactic acid is practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms. Corrected for the pH effect, no hazard was identified for lactic acid/lactate. This can be safely extrapolated to the terrestrial compartment. Therefore, based on the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I, testing of short-term and long-term toxicity to terrestrial plants is not required.

Additional information
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.
