Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Sediment toxicity:
Results of studies with di-isodecyl phthalate ester (DIDP; CAS #68515-49-1) show that DIDP will not produce toxicity to sediment dwellers at high sediment loading rates: 14-da NOEC (growth / survival) for Hyalella azteca = 2090 mg/kg; 14-da NOEC (growth / survival) for Chironomus tentans = 2630 mg/kg; 14-da NOEC (egg hatching) for Rana arvalis = 659 mg/kg; 29-da NOEC (growth / survival) for Rana arvalis = 659 mg/kg
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The data used to characterize the sediment toxicity of di-isodecyl phthalate ester (DIDP; CAS #68515-49-1) are consistent with the data for several high molecular weight phthalate diesters summarized by Call et al. (2001). These data show that high molecular weight phthalate diesters do not produce toxicity to sediment dwellers at high sediment loading rates. The sediment invertebrate dataset includes results for three species, Chironomus tentans, Hyalella azteca, and Rana arvalis.

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.
