Description of key information
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX and X, the toxicity testing to terrestrial organisms shall be proposed depending on the results of the chemical safety assessment. Direct exposure to soil is not likely, since the substance is not intentionally applied to soil. Indirect exposure to soil is not likely e.g. via agricultural use of sewage sludge since calcium diformate is readily biodegradable. Adsorption to solid soil phase is not expected (log Koc <3) and does not accumulate significantly in organisms (log Kow <3). Results from the pelagic studies indicate that calcium diformate is acutely not harmful. The equilibrium partitioning method can be used to assess the hazard for terrestrial organisms.

Additional information
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.
