Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Toxicity testing of the substance in sediment-organisms is waived, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No.1907/2006, Annex X, Column 2.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
According to Regulation (EC) No.1907/2006, Annex X, Column 2, toxicity testing on sediment organisms shall be proposed if the chemical safety assessment indicates the need to investigate further the effects of the substance and/or relevant degradation products on sediment organisms. The substance does not have a high potential to adsorb to sediment, based upon its predicted adsorption coefficient (Koc) of 825 L/kg (i.e., log Koc= 2.916), which is below the criterion that is indicative of strong binding to sediment (i.e., log Koc> 4, in accordance with ECHA,Chapter R.7.a, “Endpoint-specific guidance”, Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, May 2008, Section R.7.1.15, p. 154). The hazard associated with exposures of the substance to sediment organisms was evaluated in the chemical safety assessment on the basis of a predicted no-effects level calculated from aquatic toxicity levels and equilibrium partitioning. The chemical safety assessment indicated that sediment exposures do not require further investigation; the risk characterisation ratios for sediment are below one. Therefore, in accordance with Annex X, the risks are considered to be controlled, and additional toxicity testing on is not indicated.
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.
