Ethanol (에탄올) — K-REACH Regulatory Data

CAS 64-17-5 · KE KE-12345 · C2H6O · MW 46.07

Ethanol is registered as an existing chemical substance under K-REACH but carries no special regulatory restrictions. It has no GHS hazard classification in Korea's official database. As one of the most commonly traded chemicals, ethanol serves as a good baseline example for K-REACH compliance checks — demonstrating that the API accurately reports the absence of hazard classifications.

Why This Data Matters

Even substances without special restrictions need to be verified against K-REACH. The API confirms the absence of restrictions just as efficiently as it identifies them — a negative result is equally valuable for compliance documentation.
