Reactivity The notified chemical is expected to be stable under normal conditions of use. Physical hazard classification Based on the submitted physico-chemical data depicted in the above table, the notified chemical is not recommended for hazard classification according to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), as adopted for industrial chemicals in Australia. INTRODUCTION AND USE INFORMATION (100%) 5 The notified chemical will not be manufactured in Australia. It will be imported into Australia as a component of compounded fragrance preparations and various formulated end-use cosmetic and household products (at a maximum concentration of 1%). (100%) 5 Year 1 2 3 4 5 Tonnes ≤ 1 ≤ 1 ≤ 1 ≤ 1 ≤ 1 Sydney, by wharf or airport Firmenich Pty Limited. The notified chemical (at ≤ 1% concentration) will be imported as a component of fragrance formulations into Australia in lacquered drums typically of 180 kg size, but drums with sizes ranging from 5 kg to 100 kg may also be used. The products containing the notified chemical will be transported from the port of entry by road to the notifier’s warehouse facilities for storage in its original packaging until distributed to the customer sites for reformulation. The end-use consumer products containing the notified chemical at ≤ 0.7% concentration will be packaged in typical consumer-sized containers for retail sale. The notified chemical will be used as a fragrance component in a variety of cosmetic and household products. The content in the final consumer products will vary, with the following proposed usage concentrations: cosmetic products (≤ 0.1%), air fresheners and rinse-off cosmetic products (≤ 0.4%) and other household products (≤ 0.7%).

Firmenich (2013) Hydrolysis as a Function of pH Stable at pH 2-12 OECD TG 111 Hydrolysis as a Function of pH. The notified chemical was added in the pH buffers (at pH 2, 5, 7, 8.5 and 12) to reach concentrations in the range of 200 - 300 ppm. The mixtures were then kept in an oven at 40 °C. Small aliquots of the test solutions were extracted using an organic solvent containing a hydrocarbon standard on a regular basis throughout the test. The extracts were analysed by gas chromatography. pH T (°C) t½ ( days) 2 5 40 40 > 365 > 365

GLP Compliance 0.400g test substance was mixed with test water followed ultrasonication for 10min. This mixture was transferred into 5 L-jar and diluted with test water to 4000 mL to obtain the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L test suspension. This suspension was stirred with a magnetic stirrer for about 2 hours to get a clear solution with a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L test stock solution. A series of dilutions was made from this saturated solution to give the required test concentrations of 3.48, 5.21, 7.82, 11.7 and 17.7% nominal solutions.

The measured concentrations of test solutions were maintained within ±20% of the nominal concentration of the test substance during the renewal period of 24 h. Therefore, the test results are based on nominal concentrations. The notified chemical is harmful to fish GCDM (2014) Acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates Notified chemical OECD TG 202 Daphnia sp.
