Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Based on available acute toxicity data, the lowest valid effect concentration for freshwater aquatic organisms is
1040 mg/L for fish. Long-term studies are not available.One key study of Belarde (2003) was available, measuring the biodegradability of glycerine carbonate using the CO2 evolution method. The theoretical CO2 values were 90.5 and 93.6% for replicate 1 and replicate 2 respectively on day 29. Therefore, glycerine carbonate can be classified as readily biodegradable. Based on the results, glycerine carbonate is considered as a non-persistent substance.
In conclusion, glycerine carbonate should not be classified for the aquatic environment
according to Annex 1 (section 4.1.2.6) of the CLP Regulation. Based on the same criteria the substance should not be classified for the environment under the Dangerous Substance Directive 67/548/EC (see Annex VI section 5.2.1.2).Conclusion on classification
Based on the lowest LC50 of glycerine carbonate , glycerine carbonate is not classified for environment.
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).
