Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

According to REACH Annex XI Section 1 (“The study is scientifically not necessary; other information available”) no study on the toxicity to microorganisms has to be conducted. Following REACH Annex XI Section 1.2 “Weight of Evidence” other information is available that is reliable and sufficient to cover the endpoint of toxicity to microorganisms according to REACH Annex VIII Section 9.1.1 Column 1. The performance of the toxicity testing of D-8 to aquatic microorganisms is scientifically not justified. D-8 was tested for ready biodegradability in a biodegradation screening test according to EU Method C.4-C and OECD 301B, and in a simulation test of biodegradation in water and sediment according to OECD Guideline 303A. In both tests, D-8 showed no signs of toxic activity to the activated sludge. Thus, it can be concluded that D-8 is non-toxic to aquatic microorganisms. Therefore, no test on toxicity to microorganisms was performed. A NOEC of 15 mg/L was chosen as a key vlaues (from the OECD 303A study) for further risk assessment.
