Description of key information
The chemical safety assessment according to Annex I of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 does not indicate the need to investigate further the long-term toxicity to fish.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
According to Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 long-term toxicity tests on fish do not need to be conducted if the chemical safety assessment of a substance indicates the no need for a further investigation of the effects on fish. According to Annex I of this regulation, the chemical safety assessment triggers further action when the substance or the preparation meets the criteria for classification as dangerous according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Directive 1999/45/EC or is assessed to be a PBT or vPvB. The hazard assessment of 2-ethyl-2-(((1-oxoisooctadecyl)oxy)methyl)-1,3-propanediyl bis (isooctadecanoate) (CAS 68541-50-4) indicates no need to either classify the as dangerous to the environment, nor is the substance a PBT or vPvB substance. Thus no long-term toxicity tests on fish are provided. Furthermore a study testing the chronic toxicity of the structurally similar category member Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., triesters with trimethylolpropane (CAS 68002-78-8according to OECD guideline 211 demonstrated no toxic effects of the substance on survival and reproduction of Daphnia magna up to the limit of water solubility (NOELR (21 d) ≥ 0.11 g/L) (Grell, 2013).Based on the available data long-term toxic effects of 2-ethyl-2-(((1-oxoisooctadecyl)oxy)methyl)-1,3-propanediyl bis (isooctadecanoate) (CAS 68541-50-4) on fish are not to be expected. Therefore and for reasons of animal welfare, long-term testing on fish 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).
