Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

There are no studies available on the toxicity of Fatty acids, C8-12, isopentylesterto terrestrial macroorganisms. The assessment was therefore based on a study conducted with the category member isopropyl myristate (CAS 110-27-0).

The study conducted with isopropyl myristate (CAS 110-27-0) was performed as a limit test according to OECD guideline 207 and GLP (Steber, 1999). The test organism Eisenia fetida was exposed to isopropyl myristate in artificial soil for 14 days, at the nominal test concentration 20,000 mg/kg. No mortality occurred during the test period resulting in a LC50 (14 d) > 20000 mg/kg.

Based on the results of the read across substance (in accordance to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5) toxic effects ofFatty acids, C8-12, isopentylesterto terrestrial macroorganism are not anticipated.
