Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", Information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint”. Since read-across was applied for the substance, data will be generated from representative source substances to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the read-across approach is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.

 

Classification related key information

 

Biodegradation in water: screening tests:  85.3% in 28 days (OECD 301F).

Bioaccumulation: low log Kow of 1.71 (KOWWIN v.1.68)

 

Acute toxicity:

Fish:   

LC50 (48 h) (Danio rerio): no effects up to the limit of water solubility, read-across

Aquatic invertebrates:

EC50 (48 h) (Daphnia magna): no effects up to the limit of water solubility (EU C.2), read-across

Algae:

EC50 (72 h) (Scenedesmus subspicatus): no effects up to the limit of water solubility (EU C.3), read-across

 

Chronic toxicity:

Algae:

NOEC (72 h) (Scenedesmus subspicatus): no effects up to the limit of water solubility (EU C.3).

 

Conclusion on classification

Based on the data above, Octanoic acid, monoester with glycerol (CAS 26402-26-6) is readily biodegradable and has a low potential for bioaccumulation (log Kow <2). The acute L(E)C50 values reported for fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae and the long term NOEC for algae show no effects up to the limit of water solubility. Thus, Octanoic acid, monoester with glycerol does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazardous according to the consolidated version of Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (CLP) and all further amendments (ATPs).
