Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Conclusion on classification
Short-term aquatic toxicity data are available for three trophic levels (fish, invertebrates and algae). All the acute effect values are above 100 mg/L. Therefore, the substance does not need to be classified for acute aquatic hazard.
Long-term aquatic toxicity data are available for algae.
Chronic data are only available for algae; therefore, classification is based on the available chronic data (algae) and on acute toxicity data for the trophic level not covered by chronic data (fish and daphnia).
As described above, chronic data are available for algae (NOEC = 246 mg/L). The available data indicate that the substance does not present a long-term hazard according to the categories outlined in Table 4.1.0(b) (i) (Commission Regulation (EU) No 286/2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
The lowest acute effect value is above 100 mg/L. The substance is readily biodegradable. Additionally, the log Kow of the substances is < 4. According to the criteria outlined in Table 4.1.0(b) (iii) (Commission Regulation (EU) No 286/2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008), heptanoyl chloride is not to be classified as chronically hazardous to the environment.
It can be concluded that heptanoyl chloride is neither to be classified as acutely nor as chronically hazardous to the aquatic environment.
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.
