Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The available acute aquatic toxicity studies on fish, invertebrate and algae were performed on the primary hydrolysis product of BPA-DA (4,4-Bisphenol A Tetra-Acid (BPA TA; CAS 38103-05-8)). The PNECs derived from the PNEC freshwater are thus also on BPA-TA. This is considered acceptable as BPA-TA is the stable primary hydrolysis product of the hydrolytically unstable BPD-DA (DT50 < 24h).
Conclusion on classification
Based on available data, BPA-DA need not be classified for environmental hazards as all LC50 and EC50 values for its primary hydrolysis product (BPA-TA) are above the cut-off value for Classification and Labelling (i.e., 100 mg/L). Furthermore, the LogPow for BPA-TA of -2.2 (pH 7) does not indicate a potential for bioaccumulation.
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).
