Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
No NOEC neither LC50 could be derived from the experimental data available. The Petrorisk model was used for the risk assessment;
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
According to Chapter R.7c (Endpoint specific guidance) of ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, in the case of readily biodegradable substances which are not directly applied to soil it is generally assumed that the substance will not enter the terrestrial environment and as such there is no need for testing of soil dwelling arthropods. According to the data provided in the dossier, C14-20 Aliphatics (≤2% aromatic) are readily biodegradable. Therefore, testing on soil dwelling arthropods is not required.
Moreover, some results are presented as supporting studies to demonstrate the need for high concentrations of hydrocarbons to obtain toxicity in terrestrial arthropods. Taverner et al. (1999) investigated the effects of two paraffin mixtures, C15 Ampol CPD (100% C15 alkanes) and C23 Ampol DC Tron NR (70% paraffins, 28% naphthenics, 2% aromatics), on the lepidopteran pest Epiphyas postvittana. Hydrocarbons were directly applied on the organisms and 24h-LC50 varied from 0.47 ml/L (i.e. approximately 375 mg/L) for the larval stage Instar III to more than 50 ml/L (i.e. 37.5 g/L) for the adults. The 14-day NOEC for instar III was found to be 0.1 ml/L (i.e. approximately 80 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.
