Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In an acute immobilization test to Daphnia magna the effects of the limit concentration 100 mg/L of dimethyl succinate were determined according to OECD test guideline No. 202 andRegulation (EC) No. 440/2008 Method C.2. A limit test at a concentration of 100 mg/L was conducted under static conditions over a period of 48 hours. 20 test organisms were exposed to the limit concentration and control. Achieved concentrations were verified by GC-MS analysis.

Dimethyl succinate had no effects during a 48 hour exposure period at a concentration of 100 mg/L.

The predicted short-term (48-h) toxicity LC50 for Daphnid (freshwater), estimated using the ECOSAR model v2.0, is 458.8 mg/L.

The predicted short-term (96-h) toxicity LC50 for Mysid (salwater), estimated using the ECOSAR model v2.0, is 696.6 mg/L.
