Description of key information

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex X, Long-term Toxicity to Sediment Organisms testing (required in section 9.5.1) 
does not need to be conducted as sediment PNECs have been calculated by the equilibrium partitioning method and 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 sediment is unlikely.
