Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

All PNECs are derived using the standard approach as indicated by the "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.10: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for environment" (ECHA, 2012). For water, a lower assessment factor is applied due to known behaviour and function of triglycerides in fresh water and marine environment.

However, for sediment and soil no additional safety factor is used, as the PNEC assessment is based on a worst case approach. The available studies represent sufficient indications that any toxicity of the substance High oleic sunflower oil, maleated is expected to become apparent > 100 mg/L.

Based on the absence of any adverse effects up to the highest dose tested in the available toxicological long-term studies and the toxicokinetic profile of High oleic sunflower oil, maleated, no bioaccumulation is expected.

Conclusion on classification

No toxicological effects have been observed in all available studies on aquatic toxicity of up to the maximum tested dose of 100 or 150 mg/L, respectively. High oleic sunflower oil, maleated can not be regarded as readily biodegradable, but it is expected to be cleaved into into glycerol and mono-or diglycerids and fatty acids upon uptake by aquatic organisms. Thus, based on the toxicokinetic profile no bioaccumulation is expected. Thus, the available data on environmental toxicity of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
