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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
There is no data available for Hydrocarbons, C7-C8, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics. However, data is available for structural analogue, Hydrocarbons, C7-C9, isoalkanes, <2% aromaticsand presented in the dossier. This data is read across to based on analogue read across and a discussion and report on the read across strategy is provided as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.
A study is scientifically unjustified, since hydrocarbons, C7-C9, isoalkanes have a flash point below 23°C and a initial boiling point higher than 35°C and therefore meets the criteria of Category 2 for flammability.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- flammable
Additional information
The upper and lower flammability limit for Hydrocarbons C7-C9, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics was determined by extrapolation from published data as respectively 0.7 and 6.3 v%.
This data is used for read across to Hydrocarbons, C7-C8, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with REACH Annex XI this study is scientifically unjustified.The flammability of liquids is determined on the basis of their flashpoint (in combination with their boiling point), their ability to emit flammable gases upon contact with water and their pyrophoricity. The molecular structure of Hydrocarbons C7-C9, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics does not contain groups that indicate potential reactivity with water or pyrophoric properties and handling of the substance indicates that this is the case. The flashpoint of Hydrocarbons C7-C9, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics indicates that the substance is a Category 2- Highly flammable liquid. The substance was placed in this hazard class because it has a flash point below 23°C and a initial boiling point higher than 35°C and therefore meets the criteria of Category 2 for flammability.
This data is used for read across to Hydrocarbons, C7-C8, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics.
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).
