Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Data on the acute aquatic toxicity of 1 member of this category (CAS Numbers: 68921-67-5) was obtained from proprietary sources. No data were identified in the published literature. The data from this stream has been read across to the other category members.

The study was conducted to standard guidelines and according to GLP and so is considered fully reliable for use as key/supporting studies. Authors report the LC50 based on nominal loading rate (WAF) and mean measured concentration. As the test substance is a hydrocarbon stream with various components reporting a measured concentration could be misleading as the measured concentration does not relate to a concentration of the raw stream. Instead we have used the results reported as WAF, which better represent the potential toxicity of the test substance. Similar sensitivity was found in all three trophic levels (fish 96 hr LL50 = 1.1 mg/L; invertebrates 48hr EL50 = 1.2 mg/L; algae 72 hr ErL50 = 2.3 mg/L).

WAF data can be used for comparison with the criteria for environmental classification under the CLP Regulation. However, its use must be considered carefully. Based on the available data (96 hr LL50 = 1.1 mg/L WAF) streams in this category should have the classification Chronic 2 under the CLP Regulation.

The measured partition coefficients of three streams in this category have log Kow ranges from 2.2 to >6.5. Therefore, the classifications cannot be removed.
