Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

According to REACH Annex IX, bioaccumulation information in aquatic species is required for substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 100 t/y or more. However, the endpoint for terrestrial organisms is waived based on the following evidence:
Unlikely Direct and Indirect Exposure
2-decyltetradecanol is readily biodegradable. Indirect exposure of terrestrial organisms is not expected as rapid biodegradability means 2-decyltetradecanol will be biodegraded within the STP process and as a consequence a transfer to the soil compartment via STP effluent is not expected. 2-Decyltetradecanol will not be directly applied to soils and as such, direct exposure to soil organisms is not expected. Therefore, no bioaccumulation tests on terrestrial organisms are provided.
