Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The environmental classification of naphthenic acid is currently not harmonised according to the CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008. Based on available acute aquatic toxicity data, the lowest valid effect concentration for freshwater aquatic organisms is 5.62 mg/L (LC50 for fish). Based on the available acute data, the substance should not be classified for acute toxicity following Annex I, table 4.1.0 a of the CLP regulation (there are no acute values ≤ 1 mg/L). According to the Table 4.1.0b (II and III) the substance should not be classified for chronic toxicity either as the no effects were seen above the treshold above 1 mg/L, the substance is readily biodegradable and does not have bioaccumulative potential (BCF = 2 L/kg). Based on these data, no classification under CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 for the environmental compartment is warranted.
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.
