Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
This substance is not directly applied to soil and based on its intended use will not enter the terrestrial environment and therefore no testing of terrestiral organisms is required. The indirect exposure of soil to this substance via sewage sludge is also of no concern based on the material's high water solubility and predicted lack of adsorption. In accordance with section 9.4 of REACH Annex IX and X, further tests do not need to be conducted if direct and indirect exposure of the terrestrial compartment is unlikely. ECHA Chapter R.7B and R.7C guidance states that if the PEC/PNEC ratio is below 1, then no risk for the compartment is indicated, that the information available may be sufficient to conclude the assessment, and there is no need to perform further tests. In addition, ECHA Chapter R.7B guidance states that if the substance is not considered a PBT or vPvB candidate, then it is considered not necessary to conduct further testing on the compartment. Therefore, on the basis of a lack of potential exposure, and hence risk, and low risk demonstrated by the RCRs less than 1 based on EUSES modelling, it is considered that Acute Toxicity to Earthworms is inappropriate and indeed short term aquatic toxicity effects can be used as a worst case scenario for risk characterization of the terrestrial compartment should such characterization be required.
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.
