Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
The data of the acute toxicity to algae is 53.7 mg/L for EC50 (72hr, P. subcapitata, biomass).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 53.7 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 24.4 mg/L
Additional information
In principle, two different information on the acute toxicity to algae of Benzoguanamine are available. In first, an OECD guideline study investigating effects on green algae Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata,and secondly, a peer-reviewed information from the German KBwS (Commission for Evaluation of hazardous substances to Waters) investigating inhibition effects of growth of Desmodesmus subspicatus.Since the latter source is a summary of different toxicological effect values only a detailed evaluation of the reliability of the underlying study is not possible. Thus, the information was rated with a reliability score of 4 (not assignable). The OECD study fulfills the validity criteria according to the guideline and was classified as reliable without restrictions. In the reviewed study a EC50(72h) of 53.7 mg/L for P. subcapitata is stated. This value was used in the further assessment.
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.
