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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
The PNEC for waste-water treatement is 32 mg/L based on the NOEC of 320 mg/L obtained in the activated sludge respiration inhibition test and an assesment factor of 10.
No long-term studies on aquatic organisms are available and thus PNECs for aqueous environment were derived by the assessment method based on acute aquatic toxicity data. PNECs for sediment and soil were derived therefrom by applying the partitioning method.
The substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation and this hazards for predators via the food chain are not anticipated.
Conclusion on classification
The substance was tested for three trophic levels in the aquatic enviroment usingacute test design and the most sensitive species was algae showing an ErC50 > 2.72 mg/L and an ErC10 of 1.46 mg/L. As the substance cannot be considered readily biodegradable it has to be classified to Category 2 for chronic aquatic toxicity according to CLP (regulation EC No 1272/2008) and as R51/53 according to DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC).
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).
