Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
No toxic effects to aquatic invertebrates up to the limit of water solubility (< 0.15 mg/L).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Experimental data on the short-term toxicity of Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., hexaesters with dipentaerythritol (CAS 68604-38-6) are not available. According to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, column 2, 9.1.1. short-term toxicity testing with aquatic invertebrates does not need to be conducted if a long-term aquatic toxicity study on invertebrates is available. The testing according to OECD211 revealed no chronic toxicity of the substance to Daphnia magna (Caduff, 2013). The substance caused no mortality of adult specimen or juvenils (NOEC (21d) ≥ 100 mg/L). Thus acute toxic effects of Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., hexaesters with dipentaerythritol (CAS 68604-38-6) to aquatic invertebrates are not expected up to the limit of water solubility (WS<0.15 mg/L). Therefore short-term toxicity testing on aquatic invertebrates is not proposed.
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.
