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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 266-013-0 | CAS number: 65996-79-4 The distillate from either high temperature coal tar, coke oven light oil, or coal tar oil alkaline extract residue having an approximate distillation range of 130°C to 210°C (266°F to 410°F) Composed primarily of indene and other polycyclic ring systems containing a single aromatic ring. May contain phenolic compounds and aromatic nitrogen bases.

Description of key information
Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates data are available for 2 streams within this Category. The 48 hour EC50 ranged from 0.76 - 2.9 mg/L with the EL50 ranging from 0.91 - 3.2 mg/L (WAF). One study provided a 96 hour LC50 for a marine invertebrates of 1.4 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information
CAS No 68478-10-4 (ACC, 2004e): This is a GLP compliant, guideline study considered adequate for assessment. After Daphnia magna were exposed to WAFs prepared from Dicyclopentadiene/Codimer Concentrate for 48 hours, the EL50 was 0.91 mg/L and the EC50 was 0.76 mg/L.
CAS No 68477-54-3 (ACC, 2004f): This is a GLP compliant, guideline study considered adequate for assessment. The 48 hour EL50 was 3.2 mg/L and the EC50 was 2.9 mg/L (WAF).
CAS No 68477-54-3 (Sabic, 1987a): This is a GLP compliant, equivalent to guideline study. The study was a marine study and no replicates were mentioned. The 96 hour LC50 was 1.4 mg/L and the 96 hour NOEC was 1.0 mg/L.
The authors report results based on nominal loading rates (WAF) and mean measured concentrations. As the test substance is a hydrocarbon stream with various components reporting a measured concentration could be misleading as the measured concentration does not relate to a concentration of the raw stream. Instead, we have used the results reported as WAF, which better represent the potential toxicity of the test substance.
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.
