Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No relevant studies on terrestrial organisms are available for the substance.
According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex IX, Section 9.4.1 to 9.4.3, as well as , Annex X, Section 9.4.4 and 9.4.6, Column 2, studies on the toxicity to terrestrial organisms do not need to be conducted if direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.
For the substance only industrial and professional uses with adequate risk mitigating measures are foreseen. Environmental exposure through widespread uses by consumers is excluded. Widespread uses by professionals will mostly take place indoors. In case of outdoor scenarios, risk mitigating measures are implemented to reduce unintended exposure to insignificant amounts. The substance is not supposed to be directly applied to soil. An indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge transfer is unlikely since the substance is readily biodegradable (for details see IUCLID Ch. 5.2.1). For a substance being considered as „readily biodegradable“, it can be assumed that it will be biodegraded within the STP process and as a consequence a transfer to the soil compartment is not expected. In addition, adsorption to sewage sludge is not expected based on the low adsorption potential (see IUCLID Ch. 5.4.1); therefore, further reducing the risk of indirect transfer of the substance via sewage sludge.
Consequently, no tests on soil organisms are performed. The equilibrium partitioning method has been used for assessing the hazard to soil organisms in accordance with Annexes IX and X, Section 9.4, Column 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
