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.

No effects up to the limit of water solubility (EU method C.2)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One GLP Guideline study is available investigating the short-term toxicity of fatty acids, C16-18, C12-18-alkyl esters (CAS 95912-87-1) to aquatic invertebrates is available (Wierich, 2001). The study was performed according to EU Method C.2 under static conditions with the water flea Daphnia magna. A Water Accommodated Fraction of nominal 100 mg/L was tested in this study. Measured concentrations were in the range of 0.1 - 0.2 mg/L or even below the detection limit (GC analysis). After 48 h no effects on the test organisms were observed resulting in an EL50 > 100 mg/L. Thus, it can be concluded that no toxicological effects on aquatic invertebrates are expected up to the limit of water solubility for fatty acids, C16-18, C12-18-alkyl esters.
