Identification
- Name:
- Creosote oil, high-boiling distillate; Wash Oil; [The high-boiling distillation fraction obtained from the high temperature carbonization of bituminous coal which is further refined to remove excess crystalline salts. It consists primarily of creosote oil with some of the normal polynuclear aromatic salts, which are components of coal tar distillates, removed. It is crystal free at approximately 5°C (41°F).]

Specific health risks
As per IARC ?
Substances classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC/WHO) according to their evidence of carcinogenicity in humans. Groups range from 1 (proven human carcinogen) to 4 (probably not carcinogenic to humans). The IARC classification is an international reference in occupational and environmental health.
Prohibited for breastfeeding workers ?
Chemical agents whose exposure is prohibited for breastfeeding workers under Royal Decree 298/2009 and Directive 92/85/EEC. Includes substances that may be transmitted through breast milk or that negatively affect milk production.
Prohibited for pregnant workers ?
Chemical agents whose exposure is prohibited for pregnant workers under Royal Decree 298/2009 (amendment of RD 39/1997) and Directive 92/85/EEC. Includes substances with proven risk of foetal harm, miscarriage or pregnancy complications.
Carcinogens and mutagens (IARC) ?
Substances classified as carcinogens or mutagens Category 2 under the CLP Regulation (GHS), bearing H351 and/or H341 phrases. These are substances suspected of causing cancer or heritable genetic mutations in humans.
Specific environmental risks
Atmospheric emissions ?
Substances subject to atmospheric emission limitations under the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and its Spanish transposition. Includes pollutants regulated in industrial installation emission permits and best available technique reference documents (BAT/BREF).
ListRestriction/prohibition regulations
Restricted substances REACH ?
Substances listed in Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, subject to restrictions on their manufacture, placing on the market or use. Restrictions may be total or partial, limiting specific applications, maximum concentrations or user groups.
Limitations:
Without prejudice to the other parts of this Annex the following shall apply to entries 28 to 30: 1. Shall not be placed on the market, or used,
- as substances,
- as constituents of other substances, or,
- in mixtures, for supply to the general public when the individual concentration in the substance or mixture is equal to or greater than:
- either the relevant specific concentration limit specified in Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, or,
- the relevant concentration specified in Directive 1999/45/EC where no specific concentration limit is set out in Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Without prejudice to the implementation of other Community provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of substances and mixtures, suppliers shall ensure before the placing on the market that the packaging of such substances and mixtures is marked visibly, legibly and indelibly as follows: ‘Restricted to professional users’.
