Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

Aquatic long-term data are available for two trophic levels (invertebrates, algae). The most sensitive toxicity data was determined for Daphnia magna (NOEC (21 d) = 0.063 mg/L; OECD 211) which does not trigger an environmental classification in terms of chronic effects. Referring to the short-term data, effect concentrations are well above the trigger value of 1 mg/L for acute toxicity.


All of the acute and chronic aquatic toxicity studies indicate no toxicity at the limit of water solubility and acute and chronic toxicity is not exhibited at the limit of water solubility. In accordance to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (Classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006), m-diisopropylbenzene does not have to be classified and labelled with respect to environmental hazards.
