Conclusion on classification

Environmental classification justification

The information concerning the aquatic toxicity of Amines, N-tallow alkyltrimethylenedi-, propoxylated are summarized hereafter:

Acute toxicity to fish (OECD 203 and GLP): LC50-96h = 79 µg/L in Oncorhynchus mykiss.

Long-term toxicity to daphnia (OECD 211 and GLP): NOEC = 3.2 µg/L in Daphnia magna.

Toxicity to algae (OECD 201 and GLP): ErC50 -72h = 28 µg/L and NOEC = 9.8 µg/L in Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata.

Amines, N-tallow alkyltrimethylenedi-, propoxylated is

also considered as persistent in the environment since it is not readily biodegradable.

Dangerous substance directive:

N-R50/53

Classification Labeling & Packaging:

Aquatic chronic category 1 – H410: very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

The lowest L(E) C50 value obtained in the frame of the ecotoxicity tests being 0.028 mg/L (algae), the M factor is:

Acute M-factor = 10

and lowest NOEC value obtained in the frame of the ecotoxicity tests being 0.009 mg/L (algae), the M factor is:

Chronic M-factor = 10
