Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Summaries of the available fish, Daphnia and algal growth inhibition studies are presented below.
A 96 hour acute semi-static limit toxicity study in zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) was performed to assess the toxicity of di-trimethylolpropane. The study was performed according to GLP and the OECD 203 Test Guideline. No mortalities were observed during the test, therefore the 96 hour LC50 was observed to be >1000 mg/L (the highest nominal concentration tested) (Olsson, 1992).
A static 48 hour definitive test was performed exposing Daphnia magna to a range of concentrations (1000 - 5000 mg/L) of di-trimethylolpropane. The study was performed in accordance with the OECD guideline 202 and according to GLP. The 48 hour EC50 was calculated to be 3560 mg/L (based on nominal concentrations) (Olsson, 2008)
A 72 hours algal growth inhibition limit study, test species Selenastrum capricornutum, was performed to determine the toxic effects of the test substance di-trimethylolpropane. The test was conducted according to OECD test guideline 201, and performed to GLP. The 72 hour EC50 value, based on growth rate, was observed to be >1000 mg/L (the highest nominal exposure concentration tested)
(Olsson, 1992).
In the chemical safety assessment performed according to Article 14(3) in connection with Annex I section 3 (Environmental Hazard Assessment) no hazard was identified. Therefore according to REACH Annex I (5.0) exposure estimation is not necessary for long-term toxicity to fish or aquatic invertebrates. Consequently, in accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex IX, the studies do not need to be conducted as all identified uses of the substance are assessed as safe for the environment.
A summary of the available activated sludge study is presented below.
The toxicity of Di-Trimethylolpropane to activated sewage sludge was investigated in a respiration inhibition test according to OECD test guideline 209. Following three hours exposure to Di-Trimethylolpropane the EC50 was observed to be > 1000 mg/L (based on nominal exposure concentrations), the corresponding NOEC was observed to be 1000 mg/L (Knight, diTMP, 2010).
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).
