Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
NOEC: 0.1 (Rhodes et al., 1995), No effects up to the limit of water solubility observed.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The NOEC for the toxicity of di-(n-hexyl, n-octyl, n-decyl) phthalate towards Daphnia magna is reported as 0.1 mg/l by Rhodes et al. (1995) and hence above the limit of water solubilty.
The toxicity of a structurally related phthalic acid ester (alkyl chain C11, Diundecyl phthalate) was evaluated in 21 -day chronic studies on daphnia magna. In the experiments no effects were observed up to the highest concentration tested (0.059 mg/L and 1 mg/L). The results are in line with results being reported in other review documents where no toxicity in the range of the water solubility is observed for phthalate with an alkyl chain length of C6 and above.
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.
