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.

Additional information

Bioaccumulation testing with C12-14 AS Zn in aquatic species is not required since the substance C12-14 AS Zn has a log Pow value below 3 and therefore a potential for bioaccumulation is low. In general, alkyl sulfates have very low potential to bioaccumlate (OECD SIDS, 2007; HERA, 2002). Nevertheless, since the substance C12-14AS Zn contains max. 12% of Zn in the molecule, the effects of Zn are discussed as well.

Zinc is an essential metal and occurs also naturally in the environment. The bioaccumulation potential of zinc in organisms is in general low due to homeostasis as the aquatic organisms are able to regulate effectively the levels of zinc in their bodies (OECD SIDS, 2005; WHO,1996). Bioaccumulation and secondary poisoning are considered less relevant (EPA, 1987; OECD SIDS, 2005; WHO,1996).
