Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

Toxicity of test substance was estimated according to OECD test guideline 202. Five daphnids in duplicate sets per test concentration were exposed to 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/l concentration . No immobilization was noted in all the test concentrations at the end of 48 h exposure period; therefore, the 48 h EC50 was found to be greater than 100 mg/l.

Conclusion

EC50 (48h) > 100 mg/l (nominal)

Description of key information

Not harmful/toxic for invertebrates (EC50 (48h) > 100 mg/l (nominal))

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

There is no information about the short-term toxicity to invertebrates of Acid Yellow 235, thus the available data on structural analogous Similar Substance 01 has been taken into account. The read across approach can be considered as reliable and adequate for the purpose; details and explanations are detailed in the report attached to the IUCLID section 13.2.

Toxicity of Similar Substance 01 was estimated according to OECD test guideline 202. Five daphnids in duplicate sets per test concentration were exposed to 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/l concentration . No immobilization was noted in all the test concentrations at the end of 48 h exposure period; therefore, the 48 h EC50 was found to be greater than 100 mg/l.
