Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No skin irritation or ocular irritation effects of Diesel Fuel were seen in rabbits –an acknowledged test system for dermal and occular irritation effects of chemical substances.
Diesel Fuel is a flammable, liquid substance, not soluble in water, with very low vapour pressure.
Diesel Fuel is an industrial chemical which is not available to general public (consumers).
Exposure to Diesel Fuel vapour/aerosol/mist is relevant in occupational settings. However, it is considered a general industrial practice to wear skin, eye and face protective equipment to prevent contact with chemicals, and to use appropriate engineering controls and work practices to reduce employee exposure to the lowest level achievable. Additionally, respiratory protection should be used to supplement the engineering controls and work practices where exposures to high levels of airborne Diesel Fuel are unavoidable.
Appropriate skin and eye protection is a part of the Guidance on safe Use of Diesel Fuel recommended in this CSR.
Justification for classification or non-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.
