Description of key information

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, Soil Simulation testing (required in section 9.2.1.3) does not need to be conducted 
as the chemical safety assessment concludes that the substance is of no immediate concern to the environment. The available data 
are adequate for classification and labeling purposes and PBT assessment, so no further testing is required. Also direct and indirect 
exposure of the soil is unlikely.
