- to invertebrates: no effect expected up to the limit of water solubility; WoE, read across
- to algae: no effect expected up to the limit of water solubility; WoE, read across
Chronic toxicity:
- to fish: no effects expected up to the limit of water solubility; WoE, read across

- to algae no effect expected up to the limit of water solubility; WoE, read across
Classification justification according to CLP
Fatty acids, dehydrated castor-oil (CAS 61789-45-5) is poorly water soluble. Based on a weight of evidence (WoE) approach, the substance is considered to have no acute and chronic effects on aquatic organisms up to the limit of its water solubility. Since the substance is readily biodegradable under environmental conditions and has a low potential for bioaccumulation, Fatty acids, dehydrated castor-oil (CAS 61789-45-5) does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazard according to the 2nd ATP of Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (CLP).
Classification justification according to DSD
Fatty acids, dehydrated castor-oil (CAS 61789-45-5) is poorly water soluble. Based on a weight of evidence (WoE) approach, the substance is considered to have no acute effects on aquatic organisms up to the limit of its water solubility, readily biodegradable and low potential for bioaccumulation under environmental condition. Hence, Fatty acids, dehydrated castor-oil (CAS 61789-45-5) does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazard according to Directive 67/548/EEC.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
