Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 study is scientificaly not necessary based on the log Kow (0.31), and also for its ready biodegradability, and the solubility in water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

According to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Part B: Hazard assessment Chapter B.6.3.7 long-term or reproductive toxicity testing with birds shall only be proposed if the CSA demonstrates the need for these data to assess secondary poisoning. Based on the log Kow (0.31), and also for its ready biodegradability, and the solubility in water, Ethyl (S)-lactate is not expected to bioconcentrate. Further, ethyl lactate is rapidly hydrolyzed into lactic acid and ethanol in vivo. No risk of secondary poisoning is identified and  therefore no toxicity testing on birds is required.
