Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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. Furthermore, according to Article 25 of the same Regulation testing on vertebrate animals shall be undertaken only as a last resort.

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 of M3ETB (CAS 926622-96-0) (Q)SAR results were used for toxicity to fish. 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, and for reasons of animal welfare,further experimental studies on toxicity to fish are not provided.

Assessment

Experimental data on the toxicity of M3ETB (CAS 926622-96-0) to fish are not available. Regarding the tonnage band (1 -10 t/a, non-intermediate) a study on the short-term toxicity to fish is not required under REACH.

However, in order to assess the short-term toxicity of the substance to fish, (Q)SAR models were used. The calculated LC50 values are listed for the individual models in the table below; the substance is within the applicability domain of all applied models.

Prediction based on experimental data for several fish species

* The lowest value available is selected as worst-case data for the chemical safety assessment

Based on a weight-of-evidence approach by the available estimation data, M3ETB (CAS 926622-96-0) is assessed to be with high probability acutely not harmful to fish.
