Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
OECD 207:
- LC50(14-d): >1000 mg/kg dw test mat. 'Distillates (Fischer-Tropsch), C8-26-branched and linear' (nominal) based on: mortality;
- NOEC (14-d): ≥1000 mg/kg dw test mat. 'Distillates (Fischer-Tropsch), C8-26-branched and linear' (nominal) based on: mortality.
OECD 222: OECD (28-d): ≥1000 mg/kg dw test mat. 'Distillates (Fischer-Tropsch), C8-26-branched and linear' (nominal) based on: survival and reproduction.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No data are available for toxicity of GTL Kerosine to soil macroorganisms. However, an acute earthworm toxicity study is available for the related substance, GTL Gasoil (Priestly, 2010b). The test was conducted in accordance with OECD 207 and GLP. Earthworms (Eisenia foetida) were exposed to a single concentration of GTL Gasoil at a nominal loading rate of 1000 mg/kg of soil (dry weight) for a period of 14 days. There were no significant mortalities or sub-lethal effects during the 14-day exposure period.
The 14-d acute LC50for earthworms was therefore determined to be greater than 1000 mg/kg dw.
In addition, an earthworm reproduction study, conducted in accordance with OECD 222 and GLP has also been performed with GTL Gasoil (Schmidt, 2010). The NOEC of this study based on survival, growth and reproduction parameters was at least 1000 mg/kg dw.
The following information is taken into account for toxicity to terrestrial macroorganisms: (28-d) NOEC ≥1000 mg/kg dw E. foetida.
Value used for CSA:
- Short-term LC50for soil macroorganisms: >1000 mg/kg dw;
- Long-term NOEC for soil macroorganisms: ≥1000 mg/kg dw.
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.
