Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Toxicity to soil macroorganisms except arthropods


A study on toxicity to terrestrial macroorganisms does not need to be conducted because direct an indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.


 


Toxicity to terrestrial arthropods


A study on toxicity to terrestrial arthropods does not need to be conducted because direct an indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.


 


Toxicity to terrestrial plants


A study on toxicity to terrestrial plants does not need to be conducted because direct an indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.


 


Toxicity to soil microorganisms


A study on toxicity to soil microorganisms does not need to be conducted because direct an indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.


 


Toxicity to birds


No data on terrestrial toxicity are available. However, in chapter R.10 of the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (ECHA 2008, p. 42) concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), it is laid down that "the chemicals of concern with respect to secondary poisoning include lipophilic organic chemicals and some metal compounds". The substance shows a low bioaccumulative (log Pow = 1.51) potential. Thus, a relevant and considerable exposure of birds is not expected. Therefore, and for reasons of animal welfare studies on bird toxicity are not provided.


 


Toxicity to other above-ground organisms


This is not a standard information requirement in Annex IX/X of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. 


 


Justification for the type of information


According to Regulation (EC) 1907 (2006) Annex IX section 9.4/9.4.1, column 2, a study on toxicity to soil macroorganisms does not need to be conducted as the substance is considered to be readily biodegradable. The test substance is not supposed to be directly applied to soil and an indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge transfer is unlikely since the substance is readily biodegradable, according to OECD criteria (see IUCLID Ch. 5.2.1). For a substance being considered as „readily biodegradable“, it can be assumed that it will be biodegraded within the STP process and as a consequence a transfer to the soil compartment is not expected. As a consequence, no tests on soil macroorganisms are provided.


In addition, the substance is not bioaccumulative. Therefore, and because of reasons of animal welfare, no study on toxicity in birds is performed.
