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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Carcinogenicity
Administrative data
Description of key information
The available data on similar substances and the available weight of evidence demonstrate that hydrocarbons C13-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics are highly unlikely to be carcinogenic and are not classifiable as carcinogens.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data do not warrant the classification as a carcinogen under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Additional information
There are no reliable carcinogenicity studies for C13-C20 n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics or for similar substances. However, there are some mechanistic studies on similar substances which assessed the impact of skin irritation on possible tumour formation after repeated dermal exposure (CONCAWE, 1991, ANON, 1987, Craig et al., 1999). These studies failed to show a tumour initiating property of the test material in the absence of chronic skin irritation. Nonetheless, these studies are flagged as disregarded study since they give information on a possible mechanism of carcinogenicity but are not sufficient to cover this endpoint. The available weight of evidence as described in the waiving statement as well as the available mechanistic data on similar substances demonstrate that hydrocarbons C13-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics are highly unlikely to be carcinogenic and are not classifiable as carcinogens.
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.
