Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

 According to Column 2 of Annex IX of REACH (section 9.4. Effects on terrestrial organisms), in the absence of toxicity data for soil organisms, the equilibrium partitioning method may be applied to assess the hazard to soil organisms. The choice of the appropriate tests depends on the outcome of the chemical safety assessment. Soil toxicity tests with barium di(acetate) are not considered to be required for various reasons as outlined in the corresponding derogation statement. In sum, the low toxic potential of barium di(acetate) as well as its dissolved ions barium and acetate to aquatic organisms and the low potential to adsorb to soil indicate a low if any toxic potential of barium di(acetate) in soil. Therefore, it is not justified to conduct any further terrestrial toxicity study with barium di(acetate).
