Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
According to REACH regulation (Annex X, 9.3, column II), further studies on bioaccumulation shall be proposed based on the outcome of the risk assessment. The risk assessment did not indicate the need for further testing.
However, measured BCF data are available for the structurally similar substance DODMAC (rationale for similarity see 4.3.1). (Data on BCF in fish see 4.1.3.)
Sediment accumulation tests with 14C-DODMAC and Lumbriculus variegatur respectively Tubifex tubifex showed biota sediment accumulation factors (BSAF) of 0.28 - 0.78 after 28 days. The main uptake route was sediment ingestion (EU RAR 2002).
Terrestrial plants (tomato, bean, cucumber and radish seedlings) showed a concentration of 0.01 to 0.05 mg DODMAC/kg in seedlings with 2 mg DODMAC/kg soil (EU RAR 2002). A biota-to-soil accumulation factor of 0.005 - 0.025 calculates from this numbers.
For MDEA-Esterquat the terrestrial bioaccumulation is expected to be of the same order of magnitude as that of DODMAC. The above information is considered as sufficient to support to the conclusion that the terrestrial bioaccumulation potential of the registration substance is expected to be low.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
