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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 269-822-7 | CAS number: 68334-30-5 A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by the distillation of crude oil. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C9 through C20 and boiling in the range of approximately 163°C to 357°C (325°F to 675°F).

Additional information
Justification:Diesel Fuelis a complex mixture UVCB substance of variable composition. It is not soluble in water and is comprised mostly of components with water solubility below 1 mg/L and, therefore, it is not possible to assess the acute toxicity ofDiesel Fuelto aquatic organisms.
To assess its ecotoxicological hazards to aquatic environment, a summation approach, recommended by the GHS/CLP criteria for classification of mixtures are applied. In general, Diesel Fuel contains sum of chemical components classified as Chronic Aquatic Toxicity Category 1, Chronic Aquatic Toxicity Category 2 and Chronic Aquatic Toxicity Category 3 at > 25%. Therefore, Diesel Fuel shall be classified as Chronic Aquatic Toxicity Category 3 substance.
Diesel Fuel will not be applied directly to water. Diesel Fuel is used as a fuel (fuel component) substance. Because of its volatility, the likely emmission of Diesel Fuel and its components could be emission to air as a result of incomplete combustion of Diesel Fuel. The environmental modelling suggests that most of components emitted to the air will likely to degrade in the atmosphere with only small to nil amounts to be found in water, soil and sediment. Moreover, Diesel Fuel components are considered to degrade fast and will not persist in the environment.
Conclusion on classification
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.
