Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In a key study performed in accordance with the State Environmental Protection Administration of China. The Guidelines for testing of chemicals, 204 Fish Prolonged Toxicity Test: 14-day study, 2004 and China National Technical Committee for Standardisation of Dangerous Chemicals Management. GB/T 21808 - 2008 Testing of chemicals - Fish prolonged toxicity: 14-day test. Beijing 2008 Zebra fish (10 per test group) were exposed to nominal test concentrations of 54 or 108 mg/L Loading Rate WAF for 14 days in a semi-static prolonged toxicity test. Observations on mortality abnormalities, body weight and body length were made throughout the 14 -day test period. A blank control without test substance was run in parallel with the test concentrations. A positive reference control (potassium dichromate) was used to verify the test conditions.
There were no mortalities in either the test groups or the blank control. No abnormalities in behaviour or morphology were observed in any group. The results of a positive control and a blank control confirm the validity of the test system.
The LC50 (14 d) in Zebra fish is > 108 mg/L Loading Rate WAF
The substance is not classified for acute toxicity and is readily biodegradable. It is not classified as PBT or vPvB. Furthermore chronic NOEC values are available for Daphnia and algae which are the more sensitive species in acute studies. The CSR did not trigger any concern for long-term exposure therefore in the absence of toxicity in the prolonged toxicity studies further chronic toxicity studies in fish are scientifically unjustified.
