Conclusion on classification
Dicyclohexyl phthalate has been investigated for acute aquatic toxicity in fish (result LC50 (96h, Oryzias latipes) > 2 mg/l), in daphnia (result EC50 (48h daphnia magna) > 2 mg/l) and algae (result EC50 (72h, Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata) > 2 mg/l), the substance is readly biodegradable and has a BCF of 85 therefore it can not be classified for acute aquatic toxicity.
One long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia magna) showed a NOEC (21d)= 0.181 mg/L. Additionally a NOEC (64d) of 66.6 μg/l was identified in the fish sexual development study. Some other effects were observed in lower concentrations but should not be accounted for classification purposes.
Considering the above, a classification of the substance as an Aquatic Chronic 2 (H411), is proposed.
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.
