Description of key information

No toxic effects on microorganisms were observed up to the limit of water solubililty, no PNEC is derived. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Within the fatty acid category studies describing the toxicity of fatty acids to Pseudomonas putida are available. For the mixture under discussion read-across is performed to a study conducted with stearic acid C18 (CAS 57 -11 -4). The cell multiplication inhibition test was conducted following GLP-requirements. The used method in the test was similar to the ISO guideline 10712. In the study an EC10 (18 h) of 883 mg/L (nominal) (Coenen, 1989) was reported. Concluding from the results of this study the considered mixture is regarded to be not toxic to microorganisms. As no toxic effects on microorganisms were observed up to the limit of water solubililty, no PNEC is derived.
