Description of key information

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, Short-term Toxicity to Invertebrates testing 
(required in section 9.4.1) does not need to be conducted as terrestrial 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 soil is unlikely.
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex X, Long-term Toxicity testing on Invertebrates 
(required in section 9.4.4) does not need to be conducted as terrestrial 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 soil is unlikely.
