Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 269-822-7 | CAS number: 68334-30-5 A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by the distillation of crude oil. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C9 through C20 and boiling in the range of approximately 163°C to 357°C (325°F to 675°F).

Additional information
The IARC has evaluated Diesel Fuels as follows (IARC, 1989):
· There is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity in humans of diesel fuels.
· There is limited evidence for the carcinogenicity in experimental animals of marine diesel fuel.
· Overall evaluation: Marine diesel fuel is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). Distillate (light) diesel fuels are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).
Diesel Fuelhas harmonized at EU level classification and it is classified as Carc. Cat. 3; R40 Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect, in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC and Carc. 2, H351: Suspected of causing cancer, in accordance with the GHS criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 with the following note:
Note N: The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if the full refining history is known and it can be shown that the substance from which it is produced is not a carcinogen. This note applies only to certain complex oil-derived substances in Part 3.
Therefore, no additional testing ofDiesel Fuelfor carcinogenicity is required.
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.
