Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The toxicity of growth inhibition to aquatic plants (Pseudokirchenerilla subcapitata) was measured during 72 hours and showed an EC50 of 84 mg/L; and a NOEC of 25 mg/L was calculated. The substance has to be classified as harmful to aquatic organisms based on the result of this study in accordance with the criteria set in Directive 67/548/EC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 84 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 25 mg/L
Additional information
No assignable toxicity tests to aquatic algae using tetrachlorophthalic anhydride as test substance are available. As tetrachlorophthalic anhydride hydrolysis rapidly in water forming the hydrolysis product tetrachlorophthalic acid (CAS 632-58-6), tests with tetrachlorophthalic acid were used to evaluate the toxicity to aquatic algae.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
