Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The results of the chemical safety assessment do not indicate the need to investigate further the toxicity to sediment organisms

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No data evaluating the toxicity of methyl decanoate (CAS No. 110-42-9) to sediment organisms are available.The environmental exposure assessment performed for this substance (see Chapters 9 and 10 of the CSR for detailed information) shows that the Risk Characterization Ratios (i.e. PEC/PNEC ratio) in the sediment compartment (freshwater and marine) are < 1 and therefore, under the current exposure conditions, methyl decanoate does not pose a risk to sediment organisms and further testing is not deemed necessary according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, section 3.
