Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Fiebig (2009) indicates the analogue substances, 2-octyldodecanol (C20) and 1-dodecanol (C12) are unlikely to be acutely toxic to microorganisms at sewage treatment works as the NOEC was determined at ≥ 1,000 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 1 000 mg/L
Additional information
Two experimental studies are available for the microbial toxicity endpoint for 2-butyloctan-1 -ol. In a reliable study, Fiebig (2009) indicates the analogue substance, 2-octyldodecanol (C20), is unlikely to be acutely toxic to microorganisms at sewage treatment works as the NOEC was determined at ≥ 1,000 mg/L, based on growth inhibition, in activated sludge from domestic sewage. In a supporting reliable study, Kirch (1994) indicates the analogue substance, 1-Dodecanol, showed no toxicity in aquatic microorganisms at concentrations of >10,000 mg/l.
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.
