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

According to REACH Annexes IX and X, endpoint 9.4, column 2, toxicity testing on terrestrial organisms shall be proposed by the registrant if the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I indicates the need to investigate further the effects on terrestrial organisms. Due to the absence of toxicity data for soil organisms, the equilibrium partitioning method was applied to assess the hazard to soil organisms. The outcome of the environmental risk assessment based on the available data indicates safe use. Therefore, direct or indirect exposure to soil can be assumed to be negligible. 

Furthermore, propyl gallate has no high potential to adsorb to soil and it is not expected to have a significant potential for bioaccumulation.

Therefore, it can be concluded, that the risk for the terrestrial compartment is low and further information and testing is not needed.
