Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The terrestrial toxicity of the target substance was assessed by based on the grouping of substances (category approach). Based on the available read-across data a NOEC (56 d) was ≥ 750 mg a.i./kg soil dw is assumed for the target substance.
Executive summary:

The toxicity of the target substance to soil macroorganisms was assessed by read-across based on the grouping of substances (category approach). The available data were used for a general assessment of the toxicity of the Alcohol Ethoxylates (AE) category substances to terrestrial organisms. Based on the available data no adverse effects on soil macroorganisms are expected. A GLP guideline study following OECD GD 222, determined no effects on survival rate, body weight or reproduction of Eisenia fetida. The determined NOEC (56 d) was ≥ 750 mg a.i./kg soil dw.
