Additional information
Different data from reference Handbooks are reported. As they are in the same values, no key study is selected and a "weight of evidence" approach is applied.
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).
