Description of key information

There are no data for short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. However, in accordance with Column 2, specific rules for adaptation from Column 1 of Annex VII of the REACH Regulation, the study does not need to be conducted because a long-term aquatic toxicity study on invertebrates is available. The results of this study indicated that there were no significant effects on mortality at a mean measured concentration of 4.6 µg/L over 21 days.
