Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
Conclusion on classification
The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. New studies with the registered substance 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.
For further details, please refer to the category concept document attached to the category object (linked under IUCLID section 0.2) showing an overview of the strategy for all substances within the glycol esters category.
According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", Information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint”. Since read-across was applied for the substance, data will be generated from representative source substances to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the read-across approach is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.
Degradation
Biodegradation: readily biodegradable: 95% after 28 d (OECD 301B, CO2 evolution)
Bioaccumulation
Weight of evidence: Bioaccumulation is assumed to be low.
Aquatic acute toxicity
Fish
96 h, LC50 (Oncorhynchus mykiss): > 0.3 mg/L (nominal; no observed
toxicological effects up to the water solubility limit); read-across
Aquatic invertebrates
48 h, EL50 (Daphnia magna): > 100 mg/L (nominal; no observed
toxicological effects up to the water solubility limit)
Aquatic algae
72 h, ErL50 (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata): > 160 mg/L (nominal; no
observed toxicological effects up to the water solubility limit)
Aquatic chronic toxicity
72 h, ErL10 (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata): > 160 mg/L (nominal; no observed toxicological effects up to the water solubility limit)
CLP
Based on the data above, Fatty acids, C16-18, esters with diethylene glycol (CAS 85116-97-8) is considered to be readily degradable. No acute aquatic toxicity was observed up to the water solubility limit (< 1 µg/L at 20 °C, pH=6.3 (OECD 105)) for fish, algae and daphnids. Valid chronic data are available with an ErL10 (72 h) > 160 mg/L for the algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. Therefore, the substance does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazard according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and further amendments.
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.
