Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 266-026-1 | CAS number: 65996-91-0 The distillate from coal tar having an approximate distillation range of 220°C to 450°C (428°F to 842°F). Composed primarily of three to four membered condensed ring aromatic hydrocarbons and other hydrocarbons.
Short-term toxicity to fish

Description of key information
Two structure related tar oil fractions were tested. Creosote oils, acenaphthene fraction had the lowest LC50 (79 mg/l)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water fish
Fresh water fish
- Effect concentration:
- 79 mg/L
Additional information
Two structure-related tar oils were tested according to OECD guideline 203. Creosote oil, acenapthene fraction is considered representative for the lighter fraction within Distillates(coal tar), upper. Distillates (coal tar), heavy oils on the other hand gives a good indication of the aquatic toxicity of the heavier fractions within distillates (coal tar), upper. Therefore the combination of these tests is considered to be representative for the aquatic toxicity (fish) of the entire range of the registered fraction.
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).
