Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 266-023-5 | CAS number: 65996-88-5 The distillate from coke oven light oil having an approximate distillation range below 100°C (212°F). Composed primarily of C4 to C6 aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Of the organic components within the relevant carbon range, many are known skin and eye irritants. In addition some of the key components (Carbon disulphide, benzene, toluene, dicyclopentadiene) have a harmonised classification as skin and eye irritants. As a majority of the composition consists of known eye and skin irritants benzol forerunnings (coal) has to be considered as a skin and eye irritant.
Moreover, following acute inhalation exposure studies of dicyclopentadiene several adverse respiratory effects have been observed, leading to a harmonised classification as STOT SE 3, H335 May cause respiratory irritation. Also cyclopentadiene is considered having the same effects, and as these two compounds together can make up more than 50% of benzol forerunnings (coal), classification is warranted
This results in the following classification:
* Skin irritant category 2 (H315: Causes skin irritation)
* Eye irritant category 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation)
* STOT single exposure category 3 (H335: May cause respiratory irritation)
