Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

LC50 (14 d) > 20000 mg/kg for Eisenia fetida (OECD 207)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Studies investigating the toxicity to soil macroorganisms of Fatty acids, soya, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 93572-14-6) are not available. In accordance to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 a read across to the structurally related substance isopropyl myristate (CAS No. 110-27-0) was conducted. The study conducted with isopropyl myristate (CAS No. 110-27-0) was performed as a limit test according to OECD guideline 207 under GLP conditions (Steber, 1999). The test organism Eisenia fetida was exposed to isopropyl myristate in artificial soil for 14 days, at a nominal test concentration of 20,000 mg/kg. No mortality occurred during the test period. Thus a LC50 > 20000 mg/kg dw based on mortality was reported.Based on the results derived for the read across substance Fatty acids, soya, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 93572-14-6) is not expected to be toxic to soil macroorganisms.
