- Data waiving:
- exposure considerations
- Justification for data waiving:

Description of key information
The study does not need to be conducted because direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Butyl-S-lactate has no potential for adsorption to soil (and sewage sludge), is not bioaccumulative but considered as readily biodegradable. For „readily biodegradable“ substances nearly complete elimination in the STP process can be safely assumed. Furthermore, adsorption to sludge can be considered as insigificant. Consequently, indirect exposure via sewage sludget need not be expected. Neither is direct exposure of soil expected. Therefore, distribution to the soil compartment and significant direct or indirect exposure of terrestrial organisms is not expected. The chemical safety assessment for the terrestrial environment has be performed using the equilibrium-partitioning method based on aquatic toxicity data. Since risks for soil organisms are controlled according to this chemical safety assessment, toxicity testing on terrestrial organisms is not required in accordance with REACH Annex IX, section 9.4, column 2.
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.
