Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Measured acute (short-term) aquatic data are available for the effects of Shell GTL Solvent GS270 (Hydrocarbons, C15-C19, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics) on toxicity to Daphnia and algae. The substance shows no effects at the highest concentrations tested, prepared as WAFs.

Predicted long-term invertebrate data is also available using the Petrotox computer model. No effects up to 1000 mg/l were determined.

Measured terrestrial data with earthworms, honeybees and higher plants are also available. No effects were observed with honeybees and earthworms. Effects were observed on growth (measured by biomass) of dwarf bean.

Conclusion on classification

Reliable short-term toxicity data are available available for Shell GTL Solvent GS270 (Hydrocarbons, C15-C19, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics) with Daphnia and algae. The EC50 values are >100 mg/l (WAF loading rate) for both species. A NOELR value of >=100 mg/l (WAF loading rate) has also been determined in the algal test.

An estimated freshwater invertebrate 21-day NOELR value of >1000 mg/l based on reproduction of Daphnia magna was determined.

The registered substance is readily biodegradable.

These data are consistent with the following classification under CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272 2008:

Acute toxicity: Not classified

Chronic toxicity: Not classified
