Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 available data and available weight of evidence demonstrate that Hydrocarbons, C7-C9, isoalkanes is highly unlikely to be carcinogenic and is

not classifiable as a carcinogen.

Justification for classification or non-classification

These findings do not warrant the classification of Hydrocarbons, C7-C9, isoalkanes as a carcinogen under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).

Additional information

The available data and available weight of evidence demonstrate that Hydrocarbons, C7-C9, isoalkanes is highly unlikely to be carcinogenic and is not classifiable as a carcinogen. Further testing is not required under Annex XI, section 1.2.

No standard carcinogenicity studies are available for the C7-C9 aliphatic hydrocarbons. However, with regard to the molecular structure of the substances, no carcinogenic potential is expected. Moreover, in investigations on mutagenicity (in vitro and in vivo) as well as in repeated dose toxicity studies (via inhalation), neither genotoxicity nor an indication for neoplastic lesions was observed. In addition, Hydrocarbons, C7-C9, isoalkanes contains benzene levels below 0.01%.
