Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
848301-66-6
Cas Number:
848301-66-6
IUPAC Name:
848301-66-6
Constituent 2
Reference substance name:
Kerosin (Fischer-Tropsch), C8-12, branched and linear
IUPAC Name:
Kerosin (Fischer-Tropsch), C8-12, branched and linear
Details on test material:
The study was conducted on a structural analogue, Shell MDS (M) kerosine. This substance is a limited range (C8-C12; boiling range ~160-200DegC) Kerosine (Fischer-Tropsch), branched and linear alkane, which consists of approximately 50-60% linear and 40-50% branched material until ca. C12
when branching starts to increase. The branching consists almost exclusively of single methyl groups. There are mostly all mono branches below
composition is comparable to the test substance and hence read across is justified.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No skin irritation was observed to the test substance SMDS kerosine, a structural analogue to BTL Diesel. BTL Diesel should also not be classified with regards to skin irritation, and hence provides supporting evidence of 'negative findings' (Annex VI, EC/67/548).
