Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The toxicity of the substance to aquatic algae was evaluated by considering data on similar substances. Supporting data from studies on the substance itself is also taken into consideration. Justification for Read Across is given in Section 13 of IUCLID.
The substance is part of the group 3, but it has a difference in the organic substitution moiety: it has just one functionality hydroxyethyl, instead then two, as amino substituent.
It is a medium sulfonated, and the performed supporting study on the same substance indicate a NOEC < 100 mg/l. It has also to be noticed that water solubility is much less than the water solubility of the analogue 3a-MSA. In this respect the most similar and representative substance cannot be identified in the same group as 3a-MSA, but in group 2 (2-MSA) and 4 (4-MSA).
More details on the results of the other substances in the Category will be provided in the attached document under "Ecotoxicological Information"
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
