Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Only 2 short reports are available. They indicate a low toxicity of melamine to terrestrial plants. A request to waive the plant toxicity study is submitted.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Koch 1986: The toxicity to plants (root growth reduction) was determined after 96 hours of exposure of barleyn wheat and radish to Melamine. The EC50 was ca. 530 mg/L groundwater and above.
Jansen 1982: The toxicity of melamine (in Melafslik) was tested in peas and beans. The toxicity limit was at ca. 170 mg/kg soil.
No key value is reported above, as the result of Koch 1986 refers to groundwater and not to soil, and the result described as "toxicity limit" in the study of Jansen 1982 can not be related to an ECxx. A request to waive the plant toxicity study is submitted.
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.
