Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Note: * = asterisk designates: Chemical may not be soluble enough to measure  this predicted effect. If the effect level exceeds the water solubility by 10X, typically no effects at saturation (NES) are reported.

 

 

Chronic Value (ChV) definition:

------------------------------

The ChV, or Chronic Value, is defined as the geometric mean of the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) and the lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC). One way to represent the ChV value mathematically is:

ChV = 10^([log (LOEC x NOEC)]/2)

According to the ECHA “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment” Chapter R.10, the MATC (Maximal Acceptable Toxicant Concentration) is defined as equivalent to the above ChV.

If in the test report only the MATC is presented, the MATC can be divided by √2 to derive a NOEC.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The ECOSAR model is a reliable and appropriate QSAR model to apply to diethyl succinate, as it is based on a chemical dataset that calculates the toxicity of imides, which exhibit excess toxicity in addition to narcosis.
The predicted short-term (96-h) toxicity LC50 for fish is 52.2 mg/L.
Executive summary:

On test material, the predicted short-term (96-h) toxicity LC50 for fish is 52.2 mg/L.
