Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

Acute skin irritation studies with Guerbet alcohols have been conducted in both humans and rabbits. In rabbits 6 respresentatives of the category of Guerbet alcohols showed only slight irritant effects. Studies in human volunteers showed no irritant effects.

Data on eye irritation are available for 6 respresentatives of the category. All substances showed only slight irritant effects in the rabbit eye.

No data on respiratory irritation are available for any substance of the category.


Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: slightly irritating

Effects on eye irritation: slightly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data are conclusive but not sufficient for classfication of 2 -dodecyloctadecan-1-ol with regard to irritation/corrosion.
