Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In acute aquatic studies on organisms like fish, daphnia and algae no effects have been observed up to the limit of the water solubility. The substance is “not biodegradable” and also not “not inherently biodegradable”. The log Kow is >3,0 and it is poorly water soluble (<0.05 mg/L)..

For these reasons, the substance is currently legally classified as R53 (Directive 67/548/EEC) or chronic category 4, H413 (safety net classification) (Regulation EC 1208/2008).

However, additional scientific evidence has been elaborated by a new chronic study in daphnia performed in 2014 which shows no effects up to the limit of the water solubility (NOEC >0.024 mg/L). Further evidence is given by the BMF study which showed no bioaccumulation potential. For these reasons the classification chronic category 4 (H413) is considered to be unnecessary which is already reflected in the self-classification. To this end, the Registrant intends to start the process with the MSCA in order to omit the legal classification chronic category 4 (H413) as no classification for the environment is applicable based on above testing data.

As a consequence of above studies and the intended non-classification conducting an environmental risk assessment is not considered appropriate or necessary.
