Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The information of this endpoint has been provided by ECHA as a result of an inquiry, thus the full access to data in the report is not accessible to the registrant. However the reliability is estimated to be at level 1: Study conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles. Possible deficiencies do not affect the quality of relevant results.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
There were limited data available on the study details. The 72 h ErC50value of the test substance on Desmodesmus subspicatus was 0.08 mg/L (growth rate), and 72 h NOEC values (biomass and growth rate) were also >= 0.08 mg/L, the highest attainable test concentration due to the limited solubility of the test material and using dimethylformamide as an auxiliary solvent.
Executive summary:

As the study was conducted under GLP and the study was already assessed by authorities, it was considered valid. The 72 h ErC50value of the test substance on Desmodesmus subspicatus was 0.08 mg/L, the highest attainable test concentration due to the limited solubility of the test material and using dimethylformamide as an auxiliary solvent. The test method was an EU C.3 limit test under GLP. The 72 h NOEC (biomass) was >= 0.0.8 mg/L, the highest attainable concentration using solvent, indicating no acute toxicity at levels up to water solubility. Concentrations were confirmed analytically. The study was selected as key.
