Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
Experimental data for the Guerbet alcohols, C24-26, branched and linear and other structural analogue Guerbet alcohols has been evaluated. According to the data, Guerbet alcohols, C24-26, branched and linear is unlikely to produce toxicity in freshwater aquatic organisms on all three trophic levels (fish, invertebrates and algae) in acute toxicity studies up to the limit of the water solubility. In addition, due to low water solubility and ready biodegradation, it is not technically feasible to conduct long-term aquatic toxicity studies on Guerbet alcohols, C24-26, branched and linear. Since Guerbet alcohols, C24-26, branched and linear does not cause acute toxicity and it is not possible to conduct chronic studies due to low solubility and rapid biodegradation, the substance does not pose an aquatic hazard and it is not possible to derive NOEC or PNEC values needed for quantitative risk assessment. However, it is possible to qualitatively conclude that, based on low solubility and available acute effects test data, Guerbet alcohols, C24-26, branched and linear does not pose a risk to the freshwater aquatic compartment.
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.
