Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 615-247-5 | CAS number: 71060-57-6
Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
An acute toxicity study using either route of exposure is not required for alcohols C8-10, ethoxylated < 2.5 EO (CAS No. 71060-57-6, EC No. 615-247-5) according to the REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annexes VII and VIII, Section 8.5, Column 2, because the subsance is classified as corrosive to the skin. The hazard conclusion is based on the trend from corrosive (C8 substance) to non-irritant (C10-C12 substances) observed in the Alcohol Ethoxylates (AE) category leading to the worst-case conclusion that alcohols C8-10, ethoxylated < 2.5 EO (CAS No. 71060-57-6, EC No. 615-247-5) is corrosive.

Additional information
Data on acute toxicity of alcohols C8-10, ethoxylated < 2.5 EO (CAS No. 71060-57-6, EC No. 615-247-5) are not required because the substance is classified as corrosive to the skin (REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annexes VII and VIII, Section 8.5, Column 2). Due to the corrosive properties it is considered inadequate applying read-across of data on acute toxicity from the data pool of the Alcohol Ethoxylates (AE) category. For a detailed evaluation of the acute toxicity of the linear AE substances, please refer to the category justification attached to the category object.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Since no data on acute toxicity are required for alcohols C8-10, ethoxylated < 2.5 EO (CAS No. 71060-57-6, EC No. 615-247-5), the substance does not need to be classified according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
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.
