Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 acute toxicity effects to aquatic invertebrates are expected up to the limit of water solubility (<0.12 mg/L).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A limit test investigating the short term toxicity of Fatty acids, C18-unsaturated, dimers (CAS No. 61788-89-4) to Daphnia magna was conducted as part of the US HPV program (Kelly, 2002). In this GLP-study according to OECD 202 (1984) no effect on immobilisation was observed at the tested WAF loading rate (NOELR > 1000 mg/L, nominal). Therefore, no adverse effects on aquatic invertebrates are expected up to the limit of water solubility.
This endpoint is supported with data from the structurally related category member Fatty acids, C18-unsaturated, trimers (CAS No. 68937-90-6). A GLP guideline study according to ISO 14669 was conducted with the marine crustacean Acartia tonsa. No effects up to the limit of water solubility of the tested substance (< 0.37 mg/L) were observed (Källqvist 2004).
Thus, based on the above mentioned results, it can be concluded that Fatty acids, C18-unsaturated, dimers (CAS No. 61788-89-4) or any other substance within the category does not lead to acute toxicity effects to aquatic invertebrates up to the limit of water solubility.
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.
