Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Hydrolysis studies show that isobutyric anhydride added to water rapidly converts to isobutyric acid. Thererfore, isobutyric acid data is being used by read across for most environmental fate and ecotox endpoints.
Conclusion on classification
Following DSD/DPD, the substance is not to be classified as dangerous for the environment since the acute toxicity is >10 to <=100 mg/L, the substance is readily biodegradable and does not bioaccumulate significantly (experimentally determined log Kow < 3).
Following CLP, the substance is not to be classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment since the acute toxicity is >10 to <=100 mg/L, the substance is readily biodegradable and does not bioaccumulate significantly (experimentally determined log Kow <= 4). The only long-term data point for algae (72 hour EC10 = 29.4 mg/L) is > 1.0 mg/L and thererfore does not affect the chronic hazard classification.
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.
