Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The tests with fish resulted in acute LC50 values and toxic/lethal concentrations ranging from 35 to 189 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The OECD SIDS (2002) assigned a low code of reliability ('invalid' or 'not assignable') to all available tests, as in general the tests were not conducted according to the current test guidelines (EU RAR, 2007; section 3.2.1.1.4, page 30). Furthermore, in many tests reports there were no data on pH, buffer capacity and/or test medium composition, although this is essential information for toxicity tests with NaOH. This is the most important reason why most of the tests were considered 'invalid'. Despite of this, there is no need for additional aquatic toxicity testing with NaOH, as all available tests resulted in a rather small range of toxicity values (acute toxicity tests to fish: 35 to 189 mg/L) and there are sufficient data on the pH ranges that are tolerated by major taxonomic groups.
