Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The substance is not directly applied to soil and based on its intended use and handling will not enter the terrestrial environment, and lack of potential exposure and low risk have been demonstrated; therefore, there is no need to perform further tests.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In accordance with column 2, section 9.2.1.3 of REACH Annex IX, the study does not need to be conducted if direct and indirect exposure of soil is unlikely. The substance is not directly applied to soil and based on its intended use and handling will not enter the terrestrial environment. The indirect exposure of soil to this substance via sewage sludge is also of no concern based on the treatment of the sludge. ECHA Chapter R.7B and R.7C guidance states that if the PEC/PNEC ratio is below 1, then no risk for the compartment is indicated, that the information available may be sufficient to conclude the assessment, and there is no need to perform further tests. Additionally, ECHA Chapter R.7B guidance states that if the substance is not considered a PBT or vPvB candidate, then it is considered not necessary to conduct further testing on the compartment. Therefore, on the basis of a lack of potential exposure and low risk demonstrated by RCRs of less than 1 based on EUSES modelling, waiving is justified.
