Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Propylene glycol methyl ether is classified as readily biodegradable. The risk assessment shows that the PEC/PNEC ratio is clearly < 1 in surface water, indicating no need for further information or testing. According to REACH Annex IX requirements, long-term toxicity testing shall only be considered when the chemical safety assessment indicates the need for further investigations. Hence, long-term testing in fish can be waived for propylene glycol methyl ether.
