Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
The test item was weighted in a flask, diluted with water and homogenised by ultra-turax before placing in the test container. The solution was turbid with remaining deposit at the surface.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
In an OECD203 limit test no toxicity to fish (Danio rerio) could be determined up to a nominal concetration of 1000 mg/L (96h).
Executive summary:

In an OECD203 limit test no toxicity to fish (Danio rerio) could be determined up to a nominal concetration of 1000 mg/L (96h).
