Additional information

In some cases the CAS and chemical identity stated refer to SDA nomenclature for this substance. In REACH substance identification it is necessary to be more specific as to the chain lengths present. Full details may be found in the CSR.

Conclusion on classification

The substance is classified as Aquatic acute 1 as it the short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates EC50 is <1 mg/L (0.8 mg/L Bengtsson et al. 1984).

In addition undecanol, branched and linear is readily biodegradable and the long-term predictions for invertebrates indicate that the NOEC is between 0.01 and 1 mg/l (21 day NOEC 0.04 -0.17 mg/l).

Therefore, the substance is classified as Chronic Category 2 for the environment in the EU according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
