Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Study reports have been available for consideration in respect of acute tests with fish, invertebrates, algae and micro-organism. As in all studies up to the highest tested concentration of at least 100 mg/l but also above no effects were seen, no hazard was identified and consequently no PNECs for the environment were derived.
Conclusion on classification
No effects/mortality were seen in acute tests up to 100 mg/L with 1,2-hexanediol or structural similar substances. Therefore, 1,2 -hexanediol is not classified for acute aquatic toxicity as per EU CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) or DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC). As the substance is readily biodegradable and the log Pow is < 3 (4), also classification for chronic aquatic toxicity is not required.
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.
