Description of key information
The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. New studies with the registered substance and/or other member substances of the polyol esters category will be conducted in the future. The finalised studies will be included in the technical dossier as soon as they become available and the hazard assessment will be re-evaluated accordingly.

Additional information
The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. New studies with the registered substance and/or other member substances of the polyol esters category will be conducted in the future. The finalised studies will be included in the technical dossier as soon as they become available and the hazard assessment will be re-evaluated accordingly.
There are no long-term fish studies available for Octadecanoic acid, ester with 2,2'-[oxybis(methylene)]bis[2- (hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol] (CAS 70969-57-2). Available short-term studies for fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae, all indicate no potential for aquatic toxicity. Moreover, no chronic effects were recorded in the long-term toxicity to invertebrates study up to the limit of water solubility. As there was no sign that fish are more sensitive compared to aquatic invertebrates in the available short- and long-term tests, it cannot be expected that a long-term test with fish will generate different results. Thus, based on the above mentioned results, it can be excluded that the target substance will exhibit chronic toxicity to fish up to the limit of water solubility. Hence due to animal welfare reasons and to avoid unnecessary vertebrate tests, no further long-term test with fish was 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.
