Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Standardised acute toxicity tests were performed with tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBEP), on earthworm (OECD 207) and three different plant species (OECD 208) giving an 14d-LC50 of 544 mg/kg dry soil and a 21d-ER50 = 46.8 mg/kg dry soil (corresponding to 165.75 mg/kg after organic carbon normalisation), respectively.
The registered substance is readily biodegradable and doesn't have a high potential to adsorb to soil therefore consideration of degradation products and long term testing according to Annex X does not appear scientifically justified.
However, as some effects were measured on invertebrates and plants further testing is proposed on soil micro-organisms (OECD 216) in order to cover different habitats and feeding modes in the soil as well as taxonomic groups. At the time being, there are no indications that TBEP will pose a specific hazard to terrestrial arthropods.
Based on low experimental BCF in fish, bioaccumulation of TBEP is not expected. In addition, the acute mammalian toxicity is low and there are no indications that the registered substance will pose a specific hazard to birds.
Therefore, in accordance with annex XI in REACH regulation, further testing on terrestrial arthropods and birds does not appear scientifically 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.
