Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Since no reliable long-term toxicity tests with fish are available for C16-18 and C18 unsatd. AS Na (CAS 1394155-71-5), in accordance to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 a read-across to another structurally related category members was conducted. Read-across data available for C12-18AS Na (CAS 68955-19-1) and C16-18AS Na (CAS 68955-20-4) were used; toxicity of alkyl sulfates is dependent on carbon chain length. C12-18AS Na (CAS 68955-19-1) will represent the worst case scenario for C16-18 and C18 unsatd. AS Na (CAS 1394155-71-5).
They key study was performed with C12-18AS Na (CAS 68955-19-1) according to EU Method C.2 and GLP principles (Scholz 1997). Daphnids were exposed to five test concentrations up to 118 mg/L (measured value corresponding to 100 mg/L nominal concentration) for 48 hours under static conditions. The 48-hour EC50 value was determined based on mobility of daphnids as 15 mg/L (nominal concentration). Moreover, a 24-hour toxicity test with Daphnia magna is available for C16-18AS Na (CAS 68955-20-4; Steber 1988). This test was performed according to DIN 38412, part 11 method. Daphnids were exposed to several concentrations of the test substance, no analytical monitoring is available. The 24-hour EC50 value based on mobility was determined to be 275 mg/L (nominal concentrations).
Due to structure and property similarities with the tested category member it can be concluded that the above results apply also to C16-18 and C18 unsatd.AS Na (CAS 1394155-71-5).
It is expected that the 48-hour EC50 value for aquatic invertebrates of CAS 1394155-71-5 will be comparable to the EC50 value of 15 mg/L recorded during the C12-18AS Na (CAS 68955-19-1) testing.
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).
