Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In the key study in earthworms (Eisenia andrei) by Robidoux et al (1999), sublethal toxicity (growth inhibition) as well as reproduction effects can be found at the lowest tested concentration (280.0±12.3 mg/kg) of the test substance, whereas lethality was not found at concentrations up to 2502.9±230.0 mg/kg.
The test substance range-finding LC50 study by Philipps et al (1992) in Earthworms (Eisenia foetida) indicated that the test substance caused an increased weight loss at the higher concentrations (i.e, 200, 400, and 500 mg/kg soil). However the LC50 was greater than 500 mg/kg.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Short-term EC50 or LC50 for soil macroorganisms:
- 2 503 mg/kg soil dw
- Long-term EC10, LC10 or NOEC for soil macroorganisms:
- 280 mg/kg soil dw
Additional information
HMX has no marked effect on the survival of earthworms with LC50 of 2500 and >500 mg/kg dry soil. However it seems to have an effects on the reproduction of Eisenia andrei (NOEC< 280.0±12.3 mg/kg).
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.
