Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

An abstract of a terrestrial plant toxicity test (short-term, OECD 208, Kirch 1996) performed on the read-across substance Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18 unsatd., triesters with trimethylolpropane (CAS 68002-79-9) indicates no toxicity (NOEC = 300-1000 mg/kg soil dw, LOECs = 1000 mg/kg soil dw). In conclusion, due to a) the observed absence of toxicological effects on aquatic plants (assumption that soil toxicity expressed in terms of the freely-dissolved substance concentration in the pore water is the same as aquatic toxicity, ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements Chapter R.10), b) the lack of chronic exposure and c) the, acknowledged metabolisation of fatty acid esters, toxic effects to terrestrial plants can be excluded.

The justification for read-across is presented in Section 13 Assessment reports- Read-across justification.
