Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

According to the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP)
Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 the substance is not classified as an Acute Category 1. No acute toxicity
was observed for the three trophic levels in three saturated solution limit tests, thereby indicating that
the substance is not classified for acute aquatic effects.
According to the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP)
Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 the tested substance is classified Aquatic chronic 1 (M factor=1) for
long-term aquatic toxicity based on:
- Tested substance (6:2 FTMA, EC No.: 218-407-9) is not readily biodegradable;
- Lowest NOEC value of 0.0162 mg/L (6:2 FTMA, EC No.: 218-407-9) based on read-across chronic
study on fish (OECD 234) with 6:2 FTOH (EC No.: 211-477-1; Goodband, 2021).
Given the rapid conversion of the test substance to 6:2 FTOH (EC No.: 211-477-1) the latter is the
more relevant substance to study for long-term effects. Therefore, 122-d fish sexual development test
(OECD 234; Goodband, 2021) and 21-day daphnid reproduction test (OECD 211; DuPont Haskell
Global Centers for Health & Environmental Sciences, 2013) studies for 6:2 FTOH (EC No.: 211-477-1)
were considered for the chronic classification.
According to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation
(EC) No. 1272/2008 the test substance is not hazardous to the ozone layer. There are no indications that
global warming, ozone depletion in the stratosphere, ozone formation in the troposphere or acidification
effects will occur based on the substance structure and estimated half-life in air of approximately 6 hours.
