Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Toxicity to predators via secondary poisoning is not expected for methyl palmitate
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No avian toxicity data are available for methyl palmitate (CAS No. 112-39-0). According to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex X, Column 2, 9.6.1, any need for testing for this endpoint should be carefully considered taking into account the large mammalian dataset that is usually available at this tonnage level. Methyl palmitate is readily biodegradable with a low potential for bioaccumulation in biota (see IUCLID section 5.3) and therefore, according to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7c, secondary poisoning is unlikely to occur (ECHA, 2008). Moreover, as the substance is not toxic to mammals (not classified for toxicity) no further toxicity testing on birds is deemed necessary.
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.
