Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
toxicity to terrestrial arthropods: short-term
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, short-term testing to terrestrial invertebrates (required in section 9.4.1) does not need to be conducted as direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely, and additionally the equilibrium partitioning method has found no hazard to soil organisms.
Indeed, direct exposure of soil will not occur from the use of MOTE and indirect exposure will be low. The assessment performed in Chapter 9 of the CSR confirms this low indirect environmental exposure and an acceptable risk to terrestrial organisms is demonstrated with the use of relevant risk mitigation measures. In addition in environmental monitoring data shows that environmental levels of octyl tins were demonstrated to be extremely low. Therefore in accordance with Annex XI of the Regulation EC 1907/2006 the study is not necessary.

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex X, long-term testing to terrestrial invertebrates (required in section 9.4.4) does not need to be conducted as the results of the chemical safety assessment do not indicate the need to investigate further the effects of the substance and/or degradation products on terrestrial organisms. Additionally, direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.

Description of key information

Short-term


In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, short-term testing to terrestrial invertebrates (required in section 9.4.1) does not need to be conducted as direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely, and additionally the equilibrium partitioning method has found no hazard to soil organisms.


Indeed, direct exposure of soil will not occur from the use of MOTE and indirect exposure will be low. The assessment performed in Chapter 9 of the CSR confirms this low indirect environmental exposure and an acceptable risk to terrestrial organisms is demonstrated with the use of relevant risk mitigation measures. In addition in environmental monitoring data shows that environmental levels of octyl tins were demonstrated to be extremely low. Therefore in accordance with Annex XI of the Regulation EC 1907/2006 the study is not necessary.


 


Long-term


In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex X, long-term testing to terrestrial invertebrates (required in section 9.4.4) does not need to be conducted as the results of the chemical safety assessment do not indicate the need to investigate further the effects of the substance and/or degradation products on terrestrial organisms. Additionally,  direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.


Indeed, direct exposure of soil will not occur from the use of MOTE and indirect exposure will be low. The assessment performed in Chapter 9 of the CSR confirms this low indirect environmental exposure and an acceptable risk to terrestrial organisms is demonstrated with the use of relevant risk mitigation measures. In addition in environmental monitoring data shows that environmental levels of octyl tins were demonstrated to be extremely low. Therefore in accordance with Annex XI of the Regulation EC 1907/2006 the study is not necessary.
