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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No experimental data are available, but long-term aquatic toxicity testing on invertebrates is not proposed by the registrant as the chemical assessment does not indicate a need to investigate further effects on aquatic organisms. This is based on the knowledge that the substance is soluble in water, has low aquatic toxicity (no effects observed in acute tests) and a low bioaccumulation potential (logPow 0.58). In addition the substance 1,2-hexanediol is readily biodegradable (82.9 % on day 28) and therefore long term exposure to higher concentrations in the environment is not expected. In addition, current available information is sufficient for C&L purpose, thus it is not necessary to perform any new test.
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.
