Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The safety assessment according to Annex 1 does not indicate the need to investigate further the effects on aquatic organisms. Therefore no chronic fish testing is required.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The safety assessment according to Annex 1 does not indicate the need to investigate further the effects on aquatic organisms. Therefore no chronic fish testing is required. In addition, fish are in general less sensitive to cationic surfactants as observed for linear alkyl diamines or quats compared to algae and daphnia.

For the calculation of the PNECaquatic it is therefore considered unlikely that fish toxicity will be critical for N-C16-18-alkyl-(evennumbered, C18 unsaturated) trimethylpropane-1,3-diamine. Hence any additional long-term toxicity testing with fish will not add scientific value to the ecotoxicity profile of this substance other than for obtaining a lower assessment factor. It is therefore concluded that for scientific reasons and in accordance to REACH legislation further testing on fish has to be avoided for reasons of animal welfare and that based on the weight of evidence available and the ecotoxicity data for several cationic surfactants a safety factor of 50 will be applied for the derivation of the PNECaquatic.
