Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
Justification:Diesel Fuel is a complex mixture UVCB substance of variable composition. Column 2 criteria for terrestrial toxicity testing of Diesel Fuel provide the following adaptations:
· These studies do not need to be conducted if direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.
· In the absence of toxicity data for soil organisms, the equilibrium partitioning method may be applied to assess the hazard to soil organisms. The choice of the appropriate tests depends on the outcome of the chemical safety assessment.
· In particular for substances that have a high potential to adsorb to soil or that are very persistent, the registrant shall consider long-term toxicity testing instead of short-term.
Diesel Fuel is a volatile liquid chemical. Diesel Fuel will not be applied directly to soil. 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.
Therefore, no direct or indirect exposure of the soil compartment to Diesel Fuel is expected.
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.
