Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 current quinoline classification reported in Annex VI of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation), is “aquatic chronic 2”; it corresponds to the translation in CLP of the classification “N R51/53” (31st ATP of the directive 67/548/EEC). However, as explained in the aquatic toxicity summary, the lowest LC50 used was based on a toxicity study (OECD 212) that is to be considered as long-term study according to the Guidance on data requirements and chemical safety assessment (Novembre 2012). In addition following the comments sent by ECHA (ref CCH-D-0000003518-70-01/D), this OECD study ‘” fish short-term toxicity test on embryo and sac-fry stages” was considered as not reliable on the basis of the Klimisch criteria (reliability 3 for rainbow trout and reliability 4 for largemouth bass).
The acute toxicity level is between 10 and 100 mg/L for the 3 trophic levels, and the lowest long-term data is 0.8 mg/L on Daphnia magna. Quinoline has a low potential for bioaccumulation and it is considered as readily biodegradable based on the soil biodegradation study. On the basis of the long-term data on daphnia, Quinoline should be classified as “Aquatic chronic 3”.
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.
