Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

The substance does not show any effects in acute tests on algae, aquatic invertebrates and fish although the tested concentrations were well above the limit of water solubility and sometimes even a solubilizer was used which enhances the bioavailability of the substance. Nevertheless, as the substance is poorly soluble chronic tests are supposed to give more robust results and to clarifiy whether CLP classification chronic Cat.4 might be necessary. Therefore, a chronic reprodction test on Daphnia magna was performed. Also in this test no effects were found. A chronic test on fish was not performed due to animal welfare reasons. Although, only two of the three trophic levels have chronic data available it can be assumed that the substance is neither acutely nor chronically toxic to aquatic organisms.

Regarding bioaccumulation and biodegradation the data also suggest that the substance does not need to be classified CLP Chronic Cat. 4. The BCF estimation suggests a low potential for bioaccumulation due to metabolism. Furthermore, the high logPow indicates a decreased bioavailability. An enhanced biodegradation test over 60 days shows, that the substance continuously degrades.

Overall it can be assumed that the substance does not meet the criteria laid down in Council Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP (GHS) 1272/2008. Hence, the substance does not have to be classified with respect to acute and chronic ecotoxicity. Subsequently, no exposure assessment for the environment is performed.
