Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

For derivation of the PNECaqua (freshwater), PNECaqua (marine water) and PNECaqua (intermittent release), the results of the de Steger-Hartmann and Schmidt (1999) study were used. This is a reliable study (rated 2 according to the criteria set out by Klimisch, 1999) and gives the lowest results observed in the key information for any of the ecotoxicology endpoints. The study examined acute toxicity of the test substance to Daphnia over a 48 hour exposure period and was conducted in accordance with OECD guideline for testing number 202. The standard assessment factors given in the European Chemicals Agency guidance document (R.10: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for environment) have been used to predict the above PNEC values from the results.

The PNECstp has been derived based upon the Clarke (2010) study which provided a NOEC of 1000 mg/l . The standard assessment factors given in the European Chemicals Agency guidance document (R.10: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for environment) have been used to predict the PNEC values from the Clarke (2010) results.

PNECsediment and PNECsoil values have been estimated using the equilibrium partitioning method

Conclusion on classification

Classification and labelling has been based upon the key information for the ecotoxicity endpoints. The results of these studies are as follows:

96 hour LC50 (fish): >3.1 mg/l (Steger-Hartmann. T. and Wendt. B., 1998)

48 hour EC50 (Daphnia): <1 mg/l (Steger-Hartmann, T. and Schmidt, M., 1998)

72 hour EC50 (algae): >1 mg/l (Steger-Hartmann, T., 1999)

It should also be considered that the substance does not meet the definition of a readily biodegradable substance (Hanstveit, 2003).

The lowest of these results is the 48 hour EC50 for Daphnia at < 1mg/L.

Classification and labelling and this meets the criteria under 67/548/EEC and EC Regulation 1272/2008 as follows:

67/548/EEC:

R50 and R53: Toxic to aquatic organisms and May cause long-term adverse effects to the aquatic environment.

EC Regulation 1272/2008:

Hazardous to the aquatic environment, Chronic: Category 1, Acute: Category 1.
