Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks:
Accepted calculation method Hypothesis and analogue approach for read-across: This substance (S-Ethanol, composition 2) has degree of ethanol purity between 76 - 82%. Methanol is the main impurity of the target substance (conc. 13-14 %), and considered the major driver for adverse effects based on its properties and relative quantity in the substance. Therefore, testing of the substance itself was considered unnecessary. Instead the available REACH registration data of ethanol and methanol is used in order to update the chemical safety assessment of this substance. Other impurities of this substance are taken into account for self-classification, but there is no need to consider their properties in hazard assessment because of low concentrations (see IUCLID section 1.2; composition 2).
