Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The key studies for skin and eye irritation were both by Biolab (1991; rel 1). Following a 4 hour occlusive exposure the test substance was found not irritating to skin, with all scores <1.5.  Similarly, the test substance was found not irritating to eye.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin irritation / corrosion

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Eye irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

Information available for C14 -15 Alcohols-branched and linear can be freely ready-across to Alcohols, C14 -15 predominantly linear. The branched strcutures do no confer different toxicological properties to the predominantly linear aliphatic alcohols. So key studies have been chosen from studies on closely related linear or branched alcohols of similar chain length.

The most recent, high reliability studies were selected as key.

For both skin and eye irritation, several additional high reliability supporting studies were available which were in agreement with the key findings.

In some cases the CAS and chemical identity stated refer to SDA nomenclature for this substance. In REACH substance identification it is necessary to be more specific as to the chain lengths present. Full details may be found in the CSR

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information, no classification or labelling is required for the irritation endpoints for Alcohols C14-15, in accordance with current EU guideline.
