Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Justification:Mineral Paraffin Oilis a complex mixture UVCB substance of variable composition. It is not soluble in water and is comprised mostly of components with water solubility below 0.01 mg/L.
Column 2 criteria for terrestrial toxicity testing ofMineral Paraffin Oilprovide the following adaptations:
· These studies do not need to be conducted if direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.
· In the absence of toxicity data for soil organisms, the equilibrium partitioning method may be applied to assess the hazard to soil organisms. The choice of the appropriate tests depends on the outcome of the chemical safety assessment.
· In particular for substances that have a high potential to adsorb to soil or that are very persistent, the registrant shall consider long-term toxicity testing instead of short-term.
Mineral Paraffin Oilwill not be applied directly to soil.Mineral Paraffin Oilis used at industrial and professional settings.
The environmental modelling suggests that most of components emitted to the air will likely to degrade in the atmosphere with only small to nil amounts to be found in water, soil and sediment. Moreover,Mineral Paraffin Oilcomponents are considered to degrade fast and will not persist in the environment.
Therefore, no direct or indirect exposure of the soil compartment toMineral Paraffin Oilis expected. No PNEC soil is proposed.
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.
