Description of key information

According to Annex IX, column 2, point 9.3.2 of the REACH Regulation, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/979 performance of a bioaccumulation study in aquatic or sediment species is not required due lack of surface activity and the low log Kow (independent from pH) of the substance.

Additional information

According to Annex  IX, column 2, point 9.3.2 of the REACH Regulation, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/979, a bioaccumulation study in aquatic or sediment species does not have to be conducted because Sodium lactate is not surface active and has a low octanol-water partition coefficient (log Kow < 3), independently from pH, thus the potential for bioaccumulation is insignificant.
