E.6.1. Endpoint summary record

In the following, the online help texts for all data entry fields provided with any Endpoint summary record for this IUCLID section are listed. As to whether and to what extent endpoint summaries should be prepared, refer to the relevant guidance for the respective chemical programme, e.g., the Technical Guidance Document (TGD) on preparing the Chemical Safety Report under REACH in its most recent version.

For technical guidance on how to manage Endpoint summary records, see How to manage Endpoint summary records in sections 4 - 10, respectively. For details on data types, see What data types are available for input fields and how are they used?.

E.6.1.1. Justification of PNEC freshwater derivation

Include a justification of the PNEC value derived. Briefly describe the rationale for the method applied, specify the data which have been used for the derivation of the PNEC, e.g. justify the selection of data amongst the different taxonomic groups (the specific selection of the key studies used for each taxonomic group can be reported in the respective endpoint summary record) and justify any assessment factors used, e.g., by referring to the standard procedures of the TGD.

E.6.1.2. Justification of PNEC marine water derivation

Include a justification of the PNEC value derived. Briefly describe the rationale for the method applied, specify the data which have been used for the derivation of the PNEC, e.g. justify the selection of data amongst the different taxonomic groups (the specific selection of the key studies used for each taxonomic group can be reported in the respective endpoint summary record) and justify any assessment factors used, e.g., by referring to the standard procedures of the TGD.

E.6.1.3. Justification of PNEC intermittent releases derivation

Include a justification of the PNEC value derived. Briefly describe the rationale for the method applied, specify the data which have been used for the derivation of the PNEC, e.g. justify the selection of data amongst the different taxonomic groups (the specific selection of the key studies used for each taxonomic group can be reported in the respective endpoint summary record) and justify any assessment factors used, e.g., by referring to the standard procedures of the TGD.

E.6.1.4. Justification of PNEC STP derivation

Include a justification of the PNEC value derived. Briefly describe the rationale for the method applied, specify the data which have been used for the derivation of the PNEC (the specific selection of the key studies used for each taxonomic group can be reported in the respective endpoint summary record) and justify any assessment factors used, e.g., by referring to the standard procedures of the TGD.

E.6.1.5. Justification of PNEC sediment derivation

Include a justification of the PNEC value derived. Briefly describe the rationale for the method applied, specify the data which have been used for the derivation of the PNEC (the specific selection of the key studies used for each taxonomic group can be reported in the respective endpoint summary record) and justify any assessment factors used, e.g., by referring to the standard procedures of the TGD.

E.6.1.6. Justification of PNEC soil derivation

Include a justification of the PNEC value derived. Briefly describe the rationale for the method applied, specify the data which have been used for the derivation of the PNEC (the specific selection of the key studies used for each taxonomic group can be reported in the respective endpoint summary record) and justify any assessment factors used, e.g., by referring to the standard procedures of the TGD.

E.6.1.7. Justification of PNEC oral derivation

Include a justification of the PNEC value derived. Briefly describe the rationale for the method applied, specify the data which have been used for the derivation of the PNEC (the specific selection of the key studies used can be reported in the respective endpoint summary record) and justify any assessment factors used, e.g., by referring to the standard procedures of the TGD. Also specify the target group to which the PNEC refers (e.g. PNEC oral, predator or PNEC oral, top predator), specify the bioaccumulation potential that triggered the necessary PNEC derivation, and describe the different steps used for the PNEC derivation, including any conversion from NOAELs (toxicity studies) to NOECs and all equations applied.

E.6.1.8. Discussion

Describe any other relevant criteria as far as not given in the respective fields for the different compartments, and discuss the overall outcome of the PNEC derivations. In this rich text field, you can also insert table(s) either by creating them using the rich text editor or pasting them from a word-processing or html document.

Note: Independent of PNEC values, the field "Discussion" can also be used for summarising the environmental hazard assessment including e.g., discussion of substance-inherent properties that may have an impact on aquatic as well as soil or sediment organisms.

E.6.1.9. Environmental classification justification

In this rich text field, you can provide any conclusions drawn towards the environmental classification of the substance including the justification for this classification.
