Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Hydrocarbons, C13-C20, n-alkanes, iso-alkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics did not produce acute toxicity to Acartia tonsa at >3240 mg/L, based on nominal loading of the test substance in water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The acute toxicity of hydrocarbons, C13-C20, n-alkanes, iso-alkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics, as measured by mortality to the copepod (Acartia tonsa) was evaluated in freshwater (Svalheim et al. 2001). Under the conditions of this study, hydrocarbons, C13-C20, n-alkanes, iso-alkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics did not produce acute toxicity to Acartia tonsa at >3240 mg/L, based on nominal loading of the test substance in water.
In a supporting study (Shell 1995), read-across to hydrocarbons, C16-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, aromatics (2-30%), the toxicity as measured by immobility to the water flea (Daphnia magna) was evaluated in freshwater. Under the conditions of this study, hydrocarbons, C16-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, aromatics (2-30%) did not produce acute toxicity to Daphnia magna at 1000 mg/L, based on nominal loading of the test substance in water.
A justification for the use of mentioned analogue substances for read-across is attached to IUCLID section 13.
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.
