Description of key information
Lactides undergo rapid hydrolysis, forming lactic acid. Therefore, lactic acid is the only relevant species in the environment. According to REACH Regulation Annex IX, section 9.1, long-term toxicity testing shall be proposed if the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I indicates the need to investigate further the effects on aquatic organisms. However, lactic acid is practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms. Corrected for the pH effect, no hazard was identified for lactic acid. Therefore, based on the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I of the REACH Regulation 1907/2006, testing of long-term toxicity to invertebrates is not required.
