Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
A bioaccumulation potential in the aquatic environment is not expected. Due to the very low water solubility (< 0.05 mg/L) of docosanamide (CAS No. 3061-75-4) and the ready biodegradability it is not likely that the substance can be found in the aquatic environment at high concentrations. Data from acute and chronic aquatic studies demonstrate that there is no toxicity in the range of water solubility for aquatic organisms (algae, daphnia and fish). Additionally, an aquatic bioaccumulation test is technically hardly feasible due to the highly insolubility of the test substance and is not necessary due to the nonhazardous character of the test substance. Furthermore, the test substance is not classified as Very Toxic (T+) or Toxic (T) or harmful (Xn) with at least one of the risk phrases R48 “Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure”, R60 “May impair fertility”, R61 “May cause harm to the unborn child”, R62 “Possible risk of impaired fertility”, R63 “Possible risk of harm to the unborn child”, R64 “May cause harm to breastfed babies”, the substance is considered not to possess a potential to cause toxic effects if accumulated via the food chain.
As a result, a low potential for secondary poisoning of birds is expected. Further testing should not be conducted due to animal welfare.
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.
