Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
In the test condition diammonium carbonate showed an IC50 at a concentration of 33 mg/L based on growth rate measurements. However, effect of ammonia relased during decomposition in water may be the toxic agent. not the substance itself. therefore these data cannot be used to derivate a classification.
