Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex IX, Section 9.4.1 to 9.4.3, Column 2, studies on the toxicity to terrestrial microorganisms do not need to be conducted if indirect and direct exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely. An indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge transfer is unlikely since the substance is readily biodegradable (84% O2 consumption in 27 d; BASF AG, 1990, report no. 1891666; see IUCLID Ch. 5.2.1). For a substance being considered as „readily biodegradable“, it can be assumed that it will be biodegraded within the STP process and as a consequence a transfer to the soil compartment is not expected. The substance is not supposed to be applied directly to soil. Consequently, no tests on soil microorganisms are performed.
