Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

Description of key information
No long-term toxicity study with aquatic invertebrates is available for dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate is classified as inherently biodegradable meeting the specific criteria. Therefore, ultimate biodegradation is expected in freshwater. The risk assessment shows that the PEC/PNEC ratio is clearly < 1 in surface water, indicating no need for further information or testing. Acute toxicity tests were conducted for the three trophic levels showing that invertebrates are the least sensitive species. According to REACH Annex IX requirements, long-term toxicity testing shall only be considered when the chemical safety assessment indicates the need for further investigations. Hence, long-term testing in daphnia magna can be waived for dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate.
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.
