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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
The acute toxicity test with Daphnia magna was performed according to OECD guideline No. 202 under GLP compliance. The result showed the test substance did not induce acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna at 0.62 mg/l, being the average measured concentration in a WAF prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/l after 48 hours of exposure (NOEC). The 48 h-EC50 exceeded 0.62 mg/l, being the average measured concentration in a WAF prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/l.
Alkylated naphthalene, EC Number 700-826-8, is a close structural analog of the Alkylnaphthalene being assessed in this dossier. The substances have similar chemical and physical properites and therefore the aquatic invertebrate toxicity testing for Alkylated naphthalene, EC Number 700-826-8, can be used as read-across to the alkylnaphthalene in this dossier.
A 48 -hour daphnia toxicity study was conducted by another company and it was discovered as being available for read-across. The study was identified during the Inquiry process. Measured concentrations were not reported but the EC50 was reported to be greater than the loading rate of 5029 mg/L. These data confirm the low toxicity of alkylnapthalene to aquatic invertebrates was demonstrated with the analog Alkylated Napthalene.
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.
