Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Administrative data

Description of key information
No acute toxicity effects to aquatic invertebrates are expected up to the limit of water solubility (<0.52 mg/L).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study, investigating the short-term toxicity of Fatty acids, C18-unsaturated, dimers (CAS No. 61788-89-4) to aquatic invertebrates was used as read across to Fatty acids, C18-unsaturated, dimers, hydrogenated (CAS No. 68783-41-5) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. grouping of substance and read across approach. No short-term toxicity test to aquatic invertebrates is available for the test substance itself.
This limit test using Daphnia magna was conducted according to GLP and the OECD guideline 202 (1984) as part of the US HPV program (Kelly, 2002). No immobilisation effect on Daphnia magna was observed at the tested WAF loading rate (NOELR > 1000mg/L nominal).
Thus, based on a read-across approach it is concluded that the result also applies for Fatty acids, C18-unsaturated, dimers, hydrogenated (CAS No. 68783-41-5) and therefore this substance also shows no acute toxicity effects to aquatic invertebrates up to the limit of water solubility (< 0.52 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.
