Conclusion on classification

Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics is not classified for the environment.

General discussion

Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics, does not demonstrate acute fish, invertebrate toxicity, or algal toxicity at loadings up to 100 mg/L. Data read across from the substance Hydrocarbons, C10-C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics do not indicate chronic fish toxicity. The Petrotox prediction for long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates is that Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics has no effects at the limit of solubility. It is readily biodegradable, the log Kow value is >4, and there is evidence of rapid degradation in the environment based on ready biodegradation tests. Therefore Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics does not require classification for environmental hazards according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
