Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Experimental data on in vitro mutagenicity on bacteria are available to nearly all representatives of the category of Guerbet alcohols. All tests are negative. Studies on mammalian cells are only available for the C16 Guerbet alcohol (CAS-No. 2425-77-6). Both a cytogenetic assay (chromosome aberration test) as well as a gene mutation study (HPRT test) are negative. Due to the similar structure with no additional functional groups these data can be cross-read to the whole category of Guerbet alcohols.


Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Avalaible data are conclusive but not sufficient for classification of 2 -octyldodecan-1-ol with regard to mutagenicity / genotoxicity.
