Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

QSAR-disclaimer

In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met.

According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.

For the assessment ofhydroxyethylpiperazine (CAS 103 -76 -4) (Q)SAR results were used for short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates.The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.

Therefore, further experimental studies on short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates are not provided.

Assessment

The acute effects of hydroxyethylpiperazine (CAS 103 -76 -4) to aquatic invertebrates are assessed in a weight-of-evidence approach using QSAR data. Only those results were considered where the substance was in the applicability domain of the model. The following QSAR models were used to derive an acute E(L)C50:

- QSAR Toolbox v4.4: Branchiopoda E(L)C50 (48 h): 256 mg/L

- US EPA T.E.S.T. v4.2.1: Daphnia magna LC50 (48 h): 295 mg/L

- EPI Suite v4.11 - ECOSAR v1.11: Aliphatic amines: Daphnid LC50 (48 h): 379 mg/L

It can be concluded that the substance is with high probability acutely not harmful to aquatic invertebrates.

For evaluation purposes an EC50 of 256 mg/L is used in a worst-case approach.
