Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Classification and labelling according to aquatic toxicity data

Justification for classification or non classification

Three acute tests have been performed with fish, daphnia and algae. No effects have been observed (EC50>100 mg/L). Therefore, a classification related to risk phrase R50, R51 (as well as in combination with R53) or aquatic acute cat. 1, aquatic chronic cat. 1, aquatic chronic cat. 2 or aquatic chronic cat.3 is not applicable.

Classification and labelling according to degradation and bioconcentration

Justification for classification or non classification

The substance is not readily biodegradable and has a log Pow>3 (at least part of it). Therefore, a classification related to risk phrase R53 or aquatic chronic cat. 4 should be discussed. However, the substance does not give grounds for concern as in a chronic test a NOEC was significantly higher than 1 mg/L. A NOELR from the algae test showed a value of >100 mg/L.

Note: This part of the UVCB substance which has a logKow >3 of >4 is mainly attributed to neutral organic molecules like fatty acid longchain-esters, waxes and polymeric compounds. These substances have been enriched in the substance by a technical process which did not change the structure of those compounds. Thus it can be said that these compounds are naturally occuring in wood and bark of trees widely distributed over the world in huge amounts.

A classification according to the "safety net" is not applicable.
