Registration Dossier
Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 232-395-2 | CAS number: 8013-75-0 A combination of amyl alcohols, primarily isoamyl alcohol and 2-methyl-1-butanol. Other alcohols, acids, esters and aldehydes may also be present.

Description of key information
Toxic effects on sediment dwelling organisms are not expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
According to the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment (chapter R.7b) no sediment testing is necessary for a substance with a log Pow < 3. For the four constituents of Fusel oil the log Pow values are below 3. In such case, the partitioning method can be adequately used to predict the PNEC for the sediment compartment. In addition the main constituents of Fusel oil are readily biodegradable and therefore exposure of sediment is unlikely.
Nevertheless, screening data on several sediment dwelling organisms exposed to Ethanol (CAS 64 -17 -5) are available. The reported tests were conducted in absence of sediment and were thus more typical for those used for water dwelling species, the reported LC50-values were above 100 mg/L for all tested organisms.
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.
