Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
NOEC (3 h) ≥ 1000 mg/L (nominal concentration)(OECD 209, activated sludge)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study evaluating the toxicity of methyl laurate to aquatic microorganisms is available (Fiebig, 2013). This test was conducted according to OECD Guideline 209, under GLP conditions. Activated sludge microorganisms from a municipal sewage treatment plant were exposed to the test substance for 3 hours at a concentration of 1000 mg/L (limit test). After the exposure period, no inhibiting effects of the substance on microorganisms activity were reported, leading to a NOEC (3 h) ≥ 1000 mg/L (nominal concentration).
Additional literature (Marks, 1978) also indicates that no toxicity to aquatic microorganisms is expected for methyl laurate (EC0 (3 d) ≥ 10,000 mg/L).
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
