Notes:

The inherent properties for the investigated substances are summarised using key parameters: acute and local effects, sensitisation, carcinogenicity(C), genetic toxicity (M), reproductive toxicity (R), persistence, bioaccumulation and aquatic toxicity. If data are not available for all parameters or only from non standard test results a tentative assessment is given (shown in parentheses). The symbols: ● identified potential hazard, ○ no identified potential hazard, and – no data available. [] indicate the effects are considered of minor significance.

*1 The terms refer to different biodegradability tests:

Inherently biodegradable: Not meeting the criteria in an "inherent biodegradability" test

Not readily biodegradable: Not meeting the criteria in "ready biodegradability" tests.

*2 ● is based on BCF > 100 or Pow > 3 (BCF prevails over Pow where both values exist).

*3 ●● is used for very toxic and toxic < 10 mg/L.

*4 The following notation is used:

Data quality (first number):

  1. Data summaries from recognised, peer reviewed sources (e.g. EU HVP programme, SIDS, SCHENIR, NICNAS) or reliable test data.
  2. Data summaries from not peer reviewed sources, considered reliable with restrictions (e.g. IUCLID).
  3. Data summaries which do not give sufficient experimental details to evaluate the quality.

Data completeness (second number):

  1. Data considered sufficient for classification of CMR effects and according to PBT criteria.
  2. Data available about the endpoint, but not considered sufficient for classification.
  3. Data not available or relevant for classification of the endpoint.

An average score is assigned based on the sum of scores for C, M, R, P, B and T properties as follows: Sum 6-8=1, Sum 9-14=2 and Sum 14-18=3
