Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
In accordance with REACH Regulation 1907 /2006, Annex VIII, Column 2, screening tests for adsorption/desorption do not need to be conducted as the substance has a low potential for adsorption based on a log Kow of 0.33 and the substance degrades rapidly, being readily biodegradable.
Koc has been calculated using the EPA OPERA model. It is predicted that the test material has a Koc of 25.7 L/Kg, supporting the justification for waiving of testing.
According to the McCall classification scheme, this means that dimethyl succinate is very highly mobile (0 < Koc < 50) on soil.
The Henry's Law constant was estimated using the software HENRYWIN (v3.20). The value of 0.0279 Pa m³/mol indicates that the substance is essentially non volatile from surface water.
Distribution in environmental compartments has been calculated using a Fugacity model, under the emission scenario of 1000 kg/h into each of air, water and soil compartments, according to Mackay, Level III. Distribution in various environmental compartments was estimated as: Air= 2.9%; Water= 28.9%; Soil= 68.1% and Sediment= 0.0841%.
Soil and water were then found to be the major target compartments.
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.
