Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
28d-EC10 of 1000 mg a.i./kg dw and 28d-EC50 of 2300 mg a.i./kg dw were determined in an OECD 216 with Dibenzoyl peroxide.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Short-term EC50 for soil microorganisms:
- 2 300 mg/kg soil dw
- Long-term EC10 or NOEC for soil microorganisms:
- 1 000 mg/kg soil dw
Additional information
A valid experiment has been performed in order to determine the effects of Dibenzoyl peroxide on nitrogen transformation according to OECD guideline 216 and GLP requirements (Bangert, 2015).
Sieved soil was amended with powdered plant meal and either treated with the test item or left untreated (control). The rate of nitrate formation in treated samples was compared with the rate in the controls, and the percentage deviation of the treated samples from the control was calculated. The study was performed the following nominal concentrations 300 / 600 / 1200 / 2400 / 4800 mg/kg a.i. test item dry soil. Sieved soil was exposed to the test item for 28 days. After 0 days (start of the test) and 28 days, the nitrate content of the soil of each treatment was determined. A blank control was tested.
The following concentrations showed inhibition of Nitrate production compared to the control: 4800 / 2400 / 1200 mg/kg.
The following results were determined for the active ingredient (a.i.) in the test item:
28d-EC10 = 1000 mg/kg a.i. and 28d-EC50 = 2300 mg/kg a.i. dw.
The results of the test can be considered valid.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
