Toxicity to terrestrial plants

Description of key information
Based on available related data toxicity to terrestrial plants is not expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Members of the category are readily biodegradable and as such they are expected to be rapidly and ultimately degraded in soil (Chapter R7.b Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, ECHA, 2008). Therefore, chronic exposure to soil organisms is not expected. Nevertheless, chronic soil invertebrates toxicity data from a suitable read-across substance (methyl laurate (CAS No. 111-82-0) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5) are available. In this test performed according to OECD 222, no effects on survival, reproduction or growth of Eisenia fetida were reported, leading to a NOEC = 1000 mg/kg dw (Winkelmann (2013)).
Based on the available information, the chemical safety assessment according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex I, does not indicate the need to conduct further tests on terrestrial plants.
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.
