Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

In up-to-date assessment, latest and more reliable data are found and hence used for the estimation of PNEC values. This also led to the change in classification from R51/53 to R50/53.

Conclusion on classification

In Directive 67/548/EEC and the regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, 2-(morpholin-4-ylsulfanyl) -1,3-benzothiazole has been legally classified as "Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment" with the phrase of R 51/53 in Annex I and aquatic chronic 2 (H411), respectively. According to the up-to-date information listed below, a stricter self-classification has been proposed in this dossier as “Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment" with the phrase of R 50/53 and aquatic acute 1 (H400) and aquatic chronic 1 (H410).

- The most sensitive acute toxicity is to fish (Oncorhynchus mykiss): 96 hour-LC50 of 0.31 mg/L (Monsanto, 1981a).

- The most sensitive chronic toxicity of MBT (read-across of one main degradation product) was determined in a long-term study with fish (rainbow trout): NOEC (89d) of 0.041 mg/L (CMA, 1989).

- Measured log Pow of 3.4 (Currenta, 2010c), which is higher than 3.

- MBS is not readily biodegradable (Bayer AG, 1988a).

With the data listed above, MBS should be classified as aquatic acute 1 (H400) and aquatic chronic 1 (410) according to GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008) and as R50/53 according the Directive 67/548/EEC. The appropriate multiplying factors for acute and chronic toxicity are both 1.
