Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification
Degradation
Biodegradation: Readily biodegradable: 86% (CO2 evolution) after 28 d (OECD 301B)
Bioaccumulation
Log Kow: -0.69 (KOWWIN v1.68)
Aquatic toxicity
96 h, LC50 (Oncorhynchus mykiss): 42 mg/L
48 h, EC50 (Daphnia magna): > 100 mg/L
72 h, ErC50 (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata): 38 mg/L
72 h, NOErC (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata): 10 mg/L
Non-classification according to CLP
Based on the data above, ethylene diformate (CAS 629-15-2) is considered to be rapidly degradable and has a low potential for bioaccumulation. The acute toxicity L(E)C50 and chronic NOEC for algae are all > 1 mg/L. Thus, ethylene diformate does not need to be classified and labeled as environmental hazard according to the 2nd ATP of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
Non-classification according to DSD/DPD
Based on the data above,ethylene diformate (CAS 629-15-2) is considered to be rapidly degradable and has low potential for bioaccumulation. The acute aquatic toxicity L(E)C50 values are all > 1 mg/L for fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae. Thus, ethylene diformate does not need to be classified and labeled as environmental hazard according to Directive 67/548/EEC.
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.
