Conclusion on classification
Environmental classification and labelling of a substance is generally based on data from short-term aquatic toxicity results, the ready biodegradability of the substance and an experimentally determined BCF (or if absent the measured octanol/water partition coefficient). Available adequate chronic toxicity data is also relevant for the assessment of long-term aquatic hazards (Regulation 286/2011/EC).
Short-term aquatic toxicity data is available for two trophic levels. The daphnia 48h EC50 and algae 72h ErC50 values are both 12 mg/L. Since the EC50s are > 1mg/L the substance is not classified for short-term hazards to the aquatic environment according to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
Chronic aquatic toxicity data is only available for one trophic level (algae). Therefore, the long-term hazard has been assessed based on both:
a) The chronic aquatic toxicity data for algae (72 hr EC10 = 2.3 mg/l, based on growth rate), which results in no chronic classification because the value is > 1mg/L, and
b) The acute aquatic toxicity data for the other trophic levels (daphnia 48h EC50 = 12 mg/L) and environmental fate data (readily biodegradable and log Kow of 4.7 -4.8), which result in a chronic 3 classification because the EC50 > 10 mg/L and < 100mg/L and the substance has a log Kow > 4,
and classifying according to the most stringent outcome.
Thus it is concluded that the substance is classified Aquatic Chronic 3 (H412) according to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC & adaptation 286/2011/EC.
Under the old DSD regulation the substance would not be classified as the L(E)C50 is > 10 mg/L and the substance is readily biodegradable.
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.
