Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 269-798-8 | CAS number: 68333-89-1 The non-volatile, high-boiling residue from the distillation of products from cumene-phenol process. It consists predominantly of substituted phenyl groups crosslinked by carbon-oxygen bonds and phenylaliphatic bonds.
Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Human Skin Model test for corrosion (OECD 431)
Human Skin Model test for irritation (OECD 439)
BCOP test (OECD 437)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin irritation / corrosion
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (corrosive)
Additional information
Although in vitro data are available indicating that the test substance is not corrosive in the Human Skin Model test for corrosion (OECD 431), but is irritating in the Human Skin Model test for irritation (OECD 439) and for eye irritation no classification is possible in the BCOP test (OECD 437), the applicant sticks to the current classification as corrosive. The classification was not changed due to the fact that the test substance is an UVCB and the most critical component phenol showed irritating and corrosive properties in humans.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: corrosive
Justification for classification or non-classification
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
