Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The chemical safety assessment according to Annex I of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 does not indicate the need to investigate further the long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No data evaluating the chronic toxicity of Glycerides, palm-oil mono-, hydrogenated, acetates (CAS No. 93572-32-8) to aquatic invertebrates are available. The environmental exposure assessment performed for this substance (see Chapters 9 and 10 of the CSR for detailed information) shows that the Risk Characterization Ratios (i.e. PEC/PNEC ratio) in the aquatic compartment (freshwater and marine) are < 1 and therefore, under the current exposure conditions, Glycerides, palm-oil mono-, hydrogenated, acetates does not pose a risk to aquatic organisms and further testing is not deemed necessary according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, section 3.
Glycerides, palm-oil mono-, hydrogenated, acetates is readily biodegradable (86.7% in 28 days) and therefore, according to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7b (ECHA, 2008), this substance will undergo rapid and ultimate degradation in most environments, including biological Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs). Based on this information, concentrations of the substance into the aquatic compartment from STP releases and therefore, the bioavailability to aquatic organisms, are expected to be low.Furthermore, the substance exhibits a log Koc value > 3. Therefore, once the substance enters conventional STPs, it is expected to be removed from the water column to a significant degree by adsorption to sewage sludge (Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7a, (ECHA, 2008)) and the rest will be extensively biodegraded (due to ready biodegradability).Based on the results of the acute tests performed with species representing three different trophic levels (fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae), algae was the species showing the highest sensitivity to Glycerides, palm-oil mono-, hydrogenated, acetates. In the available algae study, a NOEC (72 h) of 0.565 mg/L was reported. Furthermore, in the acute test performed on Daphnia magna, a relatively high EC50 value of 64.4 mg/L was obtained. This fact in combination with the observed precipitation of test material in all test solutions indicates that physical effects were most probably involved.
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.
