Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
Diesel Fuel did not induce damage to reproductive organs/ tissues of experimental animals when was tested via inhalation or dermal exposure routes. In addition, no fetuces abnormalities were seen in a few inhalation studies in rodents.
Diesel Fuel is considred as being non genotoxic/ mutagenic substance. Because its potential to induce severe skin lesions/skin cancer upon repeated direct dermal contact, Diesel Fuel is classified as Carc. Cat. 3; R40 Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect, in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC and Carc. 2, H351: Suspected of causing cancer, in accordance with the GHS criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Diesel Fuel is a flammable, liquid substance, not soluble in water, with very low vapour pressure. Diesel Fuel is an industrial chemical which is not available to general public (consumers).
Exposure to Diesel Fuel vapour/aerosol/mist is relevant in occupational settings. However, it is considered a general industrial practice to wear skin, eye and face protective equipment to prevent contact with chemicals, and to use appropriate engineering controls and work practices to reduce employee exposure to the lowest level achievable. Moreover, carcinogenic classification of Diesel Fuel and all necessary precaution measures associated with this classification will provide additional protection for workers against reproductive toxicity effects.

Additional information
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.
