Conclusion on classification

Environmental Hazards

The reaction mass of aminophosphonium salt and bisphenol AF (XA31) has been tested for its toxicity to aquatic organisms. Acute E(L)C50 values were measured in the range >1-10 mg/L (fish, daphnids, algae) while a chronic NOEC value was measured at 1 mg/L (algae). Considering the fate properties of the reaction mass (not readily biodegradable, low Kow < 3), this would lead to a classification as Aquatic Chronic 2, H411 according to the CLP classification criteria for environmental hazards (Aquatic Acute 2, H401 + Aquatic Chronic 2, H411 according to the UN-GHS classification criteria for environmental hazards).

Aquatic toxicity data have been reported for the two main constituents of the reaction mass, i.e. the aminophosphonium salt and bisphenol AF (cf. REACH disseminated dossiers). Both constituents exhibit aquatic toxicity data very similar to the ones measured on the reaction mass, except for the chronic toxicity data on algae. For this endpoint, a 72h-NOEC value of 0.052 mg/L has been reported for bisphenol AF, which is significantly lower than the 72h-NOEC value of 1 mg/L reported for the reaction mass.Considering the analytical deficiencies of the algal toxicity study performed on the reaction mass, it is found preferable to use for the assessment, as a worst-case, the 72h-NOEC value reported for bisphenol AF. This worst-case approach is all-the-more relevant as the aquatic (chronic) toxicity of the reaction mass is not expected to be driven by the aminophosphonium salt.

The application of the above-described worst-case approach leads to a conservative classification of the reaction mass as Aquatic Chronic 1, H410 (M-factor = 1) according to the CLP classification criteria for environmental hazards (Aquatic Acute 2, H401 + Aquatic Chronic 1, H410 according to the UN-GHS classification criteria for environmental hazards).
