Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
PNEC for benthic organisms can be calculated applying the equilibrium partitioning method using a Kpsed or Kdsed of 14.4 L/kg which leads to a PNEC of 36 mg a.i./kg dw .
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
For 1 -methyl piperazine a mean Kd of 14.4 L/kg as read across from piperazine is used to predict the partitioning to soil, sediment and suspended sediment for risk assessment purposes. For the partitioning to sludge which mainly consists of organic matter a Koc of 721.67 L/kg may be used. The PNEC sediment is calculated using the equilibrium paritioning method as no short or long-term benthic test data is available for 1 -methylpiperazine.
PNEC sediment based on EPM
In the absence of measured data the PNECsedcan be provisionally calculated using the equilibrium partitioning method (EPM). According to the TGD this method uses the PNECaquaticand the sediment/water partitioning coefficient as inputs.
The PNECsedis then calculated using the equations detailed in the TGD (2003):
PNECsed = Ksusp-water* PNECaquatic* 1000 * 1 / RHOsusp
Where:
PNECaquatic = 2 mg/L
Ksusp-water = 4.5 m3/m3
RHOsusp = 1150 kg/m3(TGD, equ. 18)
PNECsed-EPM = 7.8 mg/kg ww = 36 mg/kg dw
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.
