Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Aquatic toxicity (including STP)

Two reliable QSAR models were used to assess the aquatic toxicity of the registered substance to fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae: iSafeRat holistic approach v1.5 and ECOSAR v1.11 models. Both QSAR results are reliable as the registered substance falls within the applicability domain of the models and were used as key data points. Therefore, the E(L)C50 key values, used for chemical safety assessment, were determined as the geometric mean of predicted E(L)C50 values, corresponding to 3.3 mg/L for aquatic invertebrates, 5.6 mg/L for fish and 9.8 mg/L for algae.

Finally, the registered substance is considered readily biodegradable and no inhibition effects of the activity of microorganisms was observed in the biodegradation study with a structural analogue of the registered substance (2 -methoxy-4 -prop-1 -en-1 -ylphenol) at 100 mg/L. Therefore, in accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the activated sludge respiration inhibition test does not need to be conducted.

Sediment, terrestrial toxicity and hazard for predators

In the absence of any ecotoxicological data for sediment-dwelling/soil organisms, the PNEC sediment/soil were calculated using the equilibrium partitioning method (EPM).

Furthermore, no toxicity studies reporting the secondary poisoning effects on bird were available, therefore the lowest NOAEL value at 150 mg/kg bw/day obtained in the 2-year carcinogenicity study (oral exposure) performed on a read-across substance was used to derive the PNECoral.

Environmental fate and pathways

The registered substance is readily biodegradable and therefore is not considered persistent. In addition, the registered substance has a low potential for adsorption based on the low octanol water partition coefficient (log Kow = 2.8).

Conclusion on classification

No harmonised classification is available on the registered substance.

1 < lowest E(L)C50 value < 10 mg/L; readily biodegradable; log Kow lower than 4.0 (= 2.8).

Classification according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP): The registered substance is not classified for the environment.
