Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Several non-GLP studies equivalent or similar to OECD guideline 203 and one GLP-study according to OECD guideline 203 are available for dipropylene glycol methyl ether.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Dipropylene glycol methyl ether had no effect on mortality or any other effects in a limit test at 1000 mg/L on Guppy (Poecilia reticulate). No effects were observed on the lake Emerald shiner (EC50>150 mg/L). A marine study with the sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatis) reported an EC50 > 1930 mg/L. Further, no effect on mortality were observed on Fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) in a first study at 150 mg/L, as well as in a subsequent limit test at a concentration of 10’000 mg/L. The short-term toxicity to fish is very low; therefore the EC50 for fish is considered to be greater that 10'000 mg/L.
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.
