Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Aquatic toxicity studies with barium dibenzoate are not available, thus aquatic toxicity will be addressed with existing data on the dissociation products since the ions of barium dibenzoate determine its fate and toxicity in the environment.
Reliable data available for soluble barium substances indicate a low (if any) toxic potential of barium cations since the 3-h NOEC for respiration inhibition of barium chloride is ≥ 1000 mg/L (test limit of OECD TG 209).
Reliable aquatic toxicity data of benzoic acid are also available from guideline studies for microorganisms; the lowest EC10 and EC50 values are estimated with ≥ 1000 mg/L and > 1000 mg/L, respectively.
In sum, barium dibenzoate is expected to have a low (if any) potential for toxicity to aquatic microorganisms.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
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.
