Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Two studies are available in order to assess the acute toxicity of the substance to terrestrial macroorganisms. The EC50 value in Eisenia foetida recorded according to the OECD 207 was greater than 1000 mg/kg dry weight (Ciba-Geigy Ltd., 1991). The result was substantiated by a limit test that determined a LC50 value greater than 5000 mg/kg dry weight (Solvias AG., 1999). No concern for soil toxicity is then arisen by the presented acute studies.

According to the REACH Regulation, Annex IX, Column 2 (specific rules for adaptation from Column 1), a further soil toxicity test is not proposed by the registrant because the Chemical Safety Assessment, according to Annex I, does not indicate the need to investigate further the effects on soil organisms.

In order to limit the hazardous for soil compartment, the risk assessment for the substances belonging to the category has been performed using the highest experimental Koc value. In this way, the Predicted Environmental Concentrations in soil are maximized (for further details, see the Category Justification Report).
