Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

The EC50for Daphnia and LC50for fish is >0.04 mg/L and so under Directive 67/548/EC 1,3:2,4-Bis-O-(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene)-D-glucitol should be classified as R50 (Very toxic to aquatic organisms). However the water solubility of 1,3:2,4-Bis-O-(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene)-D-glucitol is 0.0476 mg/L and so results from these studies have to be considered with caution. It is considered that due to the low water solubility of the substance, a study performed using higher test concentrations would show that the substance is not classified in line with Directive 67/548/EEC because of its very low water solubility. On this basis no classification is required.

Although the substance is classified as not readily biodegradable, the aquatic BCF is <150 and the chronic NOEC for Daphnia is above the water solubility limit thus R53 (May cause long-term adverse effects in the environment) is not considered to be required. The hazard symbol ‘N’ (Dangerous for the environment) is also not required.
