Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint”.

A read-across approach was applied to this substance for short-term toxicity to fish and data was compiled from representative source substances to avoid unnecessary animal testing. The target substance will be classified and labelled on this basis.

Environmental fate and pathways

 

Biodegradation

Readily biodegradable: 76% in 28 d, OECD 301B

Bioaccumulation

Log Kow = 7.67

Aquatic acute toxicity

Fish

LC50/LL50 (96 h) > 100 mg/L (nominal, Danio rerio, no observed toxicological effects up to the water solubility limit); read-across

Aquatic invertebrates

No reliable data available

Algae

ErC50 (72 h) > 0.13 mg/L (time weighted average (TWA), Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata)

 

Aquatic chronic toxicity

Fish: no data available

Aquatic invertebrates

EC10 (21 d) > 2.8 µg/L (average measured concentration, Daphnia magna)

Algae

NOEC (72 h) ≥ 0.13 mg/L (time weighted average (TWA), Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata)

  

CLP

Based on the data above, Decyl 2-ethylhexanoate (CAS 93777-46-9) is considered to be readily biodegradable. The substance is considered not acutely or chronically toxic to aquatic organisms. All effect values are above the water solubility (1.82 - 2.40 µg/L). Thus, Decyl 2-ethylhexanoate (CAS 93777-46-9) does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazardous according to the amended version of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (01.01.2017) and all further amendements (ATPs).
