Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

QSAR-disclaimer

 

In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met. Furthermore, according to Article 25 of the same Regulation testing on vertebrate animals shall be undertaken only as a last resort.

 

According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.

 

For the assessment of <insert substance> (Q)SAR results were used for toxicity to aquatic organisms. The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.

 

Therefore, and for reasons of animal welfare further experimental studies on aquatic toxicity are not provided.

 

Assessment

Due to the abscence of experimental data, the assessment of the acute toxicity of 1,1,3,3 -Tetramethylguanidine (CAS 80 -70 -6) to fish is based on the estimations of two valid QSAR models: OECD (Q)SAR Toolbox v4.1 and EPI Suite v4.11 ECOSAR 96-h fathead minnow LC50 v1.11.

According to the prediction of these estimations the 96-h LC50 value was > 100 mg/L. (OECD (Q)SAR Toolbox v4.1: 1050 mg/L; EPI Suite v4.11 ECOSAR 96-h fathead minnow LC50 v1.11: 957 mg/L). The substance was within the applicability domain of the models.

 

Based on available calculated data from the weight-of-evidence 1,1,3,3 -Tetramethylguanidine (CAS 80 -70 -6) is considered to be with high probability acutely not harmful to fish.
