Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

An algal acute toxicity test has been performed. Under the experimental conditions:

72h - ErC50 = 0.098 mg/L (0.094-0.10 mg/L)

72h - NOEC = 0.024 mg/L

However, results were not considered valid as the light intensity of the test was equal to 55 µE/m²/s1, which is above the recommanded range of 60-120 µE/m²/s1by the guideline. As coloured substances can absorb photosynthetically active light and hence limit growth of algal cultures, the test should have been performed at the maximum recommended light intensity, i.e. 120 µE/m²/s1, in order to reduce the growth inhibition phenomenon.

Therefore, these low experimental values are most probably due to a growth inhibition because of the inadequate light intensity instead of such inherent toxicity. Or, the potential inherent toxicity of the test item must have been aggravated by the phenomena of growth inhibition. But it is difficult to distinguish the contribution of both effects, i.e. growth inhibition and inherent toxicity.

So, experimental data from the algal acute toxicity test has been held to be invalid and therefore data from the daphnia acute toxicity test has been used to perform the CSR.
