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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- 1.34 mg/kg sediment dw
- Extrapolation method:
- equilibrium partitioning method
Hazard for air
Air
- Hazard assessment conclusion:

Hazard for terrestrial organisms
Soil
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- PNEC soil
- PNEC value:
- 1.5 mg/kg soil dw
- Extrapolation method:
- equilibrium partitioning method
Hazard for predators
Secondary poisoning
- Hazard assessment conclusion:

Additional information
PNEC sediment and PNEC soil were calculated by the equilibrium partitioning method since no measured data were available. In order to be able to use the method for the environmentally relevant formate ion, the Koc and HLC were taken by read across from formic acid (CAS 64 -18 -6) / formate.
Conclusion on classification
Aquatic compartment
Following DSD/DPD, the substance is not to be classified as dangerous for the environment since the lowest LC/EC50 values are > 100 mg/L. Moreover, the substance is readily biodegradable and the log Pow is < 3 (no experimentally determined BCF).
Following GHS, the substance is not to be classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment since the lowest LC/EC50 values are > 100 mg/L. Moreover, the substance is readily biodegradable and the log Pow is < 4 (no experimentally determined BCF). The NOEC values for chronic toxicity are > 1 mg/L.
Atmospheric compartment
The test substance is not in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 2037/2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer.
The test substance does not belong to the green house gases listed in P Forster, PV Ramaswamy et al. Changes in Atmospheric Constituents and in Radiative Forcing. In: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Basis. Contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on climate Change.
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.
