Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Short term toxic effects in aquatic invertebrates are unlikely at the level of solubility of CaSi grades. A weight of evidence approach does not support short term aquatic testing of CaSi. Aquatic ecotoxicity of (dissolved) calcium and silicon is known to be low. Both of these elements have relatively high natural background levels in the aquatic environment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
There are no short-term aquatic invertebrate experimental toxicity data available/located for CaSi.The lack of short-term toxicity test results for aquatic invertebrates is an identified REACH Annex (VII-VIII) data gap.The substance is poorly water soluble alloy. The variation of composition of CaSi alloys is low and therefore the solubility of all grades of CaSi is also expected to be low and relatively constant.
Short term toxic effects in aquatic invertebrates are unlikely at the level of solubility of CaSi grades. A weight of evidence approach does not support short term aquatic testing of CaSi. Aquatic ecotoxicity of (dissolved) calcium and silicon is known to be low. Both of these elements have relatively high natural background levels in the aquatic environment.If a substance is predicted to have no acute toxic effects in aquatic solution at saturation, it is recommended to omit acute toxicity tests and proceed straight to chronic toxicity testing.
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.
