Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No data on the toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria are available for 5 -chlorovaleryl chloride. As the substance is expected to rapidly hydrolyse in contact with water to form 5 -chlorovaleric acid (CAS 1119 -46 -6) and hydrogen chloride (CAS 7647-01-0), key information on the hydrolysis products was gathered.
For the hydrolysis product hydrogen chloride a growth inhibition test in freshwater green algae (P. subcapitata) according to OECD 201 is available (OECD SIDS, 2002). From this study a 72-h ErC50 value of 0.492 mg/L (acid equivalent to pH 5.3) and a 72-h NOErC value of 0.097 mg/L (acid equivalent to pH 6) were determined.
For the hydrolysis product 5 -chlorovaleric acid no toxicity data are available for aquatic algae.
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.
