Additional information
Conclusion on classification
The registered substance is classified for the environment as chronic category 2, based on NOEC values ranging from > 0.1 to <= 1 mg/L. It demonstrates acute aquatic toxicity in the range of 1 to 10 mg/L, is inherently biodegradable and is not expected to bioaccumulate (BCF < 2000).
