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.

Description of key information

In accordance with Column 2 of Annex IX (point 9.3.2) of Regulation EC 1907/2006, the study does not need to be conducted in the substance has a low potential to cross biological membranes. As the molecular weight range of the UVCB substance is >300 - 650 (average 475), is unlikely to undergo passive absorption. In addition, due to the low water solubility (0.05 mg/L) and the high partition coefficient (log Pow 6.02 - > 10), the material is expected to be highly lipophilic and more likely to partition to fat, but too hydrophobic to diffuse across biological membranes into highly aqueous environments. On this basis, the test is omitted due to the expected poor absorption.The OECD Toolbox also predicts no binding to protein for this substance.  Protein binding has been shown to contribute to the bioconcentration potential of substances in aquatic species (Fairbrother et al. 2007; Cowan-Ellsberry et al. 2008; Franke 1996; Legierse et al. 1998; Tremolada et al. 2009; Veltman et al. 2006). The test item attained 74 % biodegradation after 28 days and can therefore considered to be readily biodegradable. The physicochemical properties of the test substance, and extensive ecotoxicity studies provide strong support in determining the bioaccumulation potential (not bioaccumulative) for this substance, and therefore may substitute for the experimentation of in vivo effects.
