Conclusion on classification

The following key results were used for the environmental classification:

Lowest acute E(L)C50 value 3.0 mg/L to Daphnia magna (Noack, 2001)

Lowest chronic NOEC value 25 µg/L (0.025 mg/L) to Daphnia magna (Dow Chemical Co., 1991)

Ready biodegradable in an OECD 301B test (Noack, 2001)

Log Kow: <-1.4 (Brekelmans, 2013)

Acute (short-term) aquatic hazard:

The lowest EC50 value (to Daphnia magna) was > 1 mg/L. The substance does not need to be classified for this hazard category according to Table 4.1.0(a) of Regulation EC1272/2008 (CLP).

Chronic (long-term) aquatic hazard:

Two chronic NOEC values are available (for Daphnia and algae). As the lowest NOEC value (to Daphnia magna) was > 0.01 mg/L and <= 0.1 mg/L and the substance is readily biodegradable, the substance needs to be classified as Chronic Category 2 according to Table 4.1.0(b)(ii) of Regulation EC1272/2008 (CLP).
