Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The aquatic toxicity of the test item was assessed by read-across from a structural analogue (DV6850), which was tested in short-term toxicity tests to fish, daphnia and algae. All tests had the highest reliability rating (Klimisch code 1). Fish was the most sensitive organism with an LC50 of 0.406 mg/L, followed by daphnia with an EC50 of 33.6 mg/L. For algae, ErC50 and NOEC of 85.4 mg/L and 42.9 mg/L were reported, respectively.

The results indicate that fish are the most sensitive organism to the target substance, indicating that it is very toxic.

Furthermore, the effect of DV6850 on the respiration rate of activated sludge was assessed in a valid GLP study (Klimisch 1). DV6850 was reported to have had no effect on the respiration rate of activated sludge at any of the concentrations employed in the test. The NOEC was reported as 100 mg/L, the highest concentration tested and the EC50 was reported as > 100 mg/L.

A read-across justification document has been prepared in compliance with the RAAF guidance from ECHA, and is attached to Section 13.

Conclusion on classification

Boundary composition.001 (Composition of C18:1 amidopropyl betaine containing≥0.1% and < 10% C18:1 aminopropyl amide)

The target substance (TS) is classified as "hazardous to the aquatic environment", Category Acute 1, Chronic 2, according to Commission Regulation (EU) No 286/2011 of 10 March 2011 (second amendment of CLP regulation), as the 96 hour LC50 for fish is lower than 1 mg/L and the amide impurity (N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]aleamide, CAS#109-28-4, EC#203-661-5) is classified as Category Acute 1, Chronic 1.

 

Boundary composition.002_(Composition of C18:1 amidopropyl betaine containing < 0.1% C18:1 aminopropyl amide)

The target substance (TS) is classified as "hazardous to the aquatic environment", Category Acute 1, according to Commission Regulation (EU) No 286/2011 of 10 March 2011 (second amendment of CLP regulation), as the 96 hour LC50 for fish is lower than 1 mg/L. It is not classified for chronic effects as the TS is readily biodegradable (by read-across) and has experimental log kow of 0.8.
