Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
A number of studies have been carried out using multiple species, both fresh and salt water. One study in two species is sufficiently well reported to judge it as reliable and this is used to derive the key parameters. All the other available experimental studies, whilst not individually robust, report data that is consistent with the key study and provide strong evidence that 2 -(2 -butoxyethoxy)ethanol is practically non-toxic to fish over the acute timeframe.
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.
