General Information
- Implementation:
- EU
- Remarks:
- Classification is based on the 1st ATP EC no 1272/2008 date 01.12.2010 = translation of 31st ATP 67/548/EEC.
In accordance with Annex VI, classification under CLP should be at minimum Category 4 for oral and dermal exposure (H302 and H312) and Category 3 for inhalation exposure (H331).
However, based on the available LD(C)50 data reviewed in this dossier, furfuryl alcohol warrants classification under Category 3 for acute exposure via the oral and dermal routes (as Toxic if swallowed H301 and Toxic in contact with skin H311). For inhalation LC50 values of 1.17 mg/L (aerosol) and 1.35 mg/L (vapour) were obtained. These concentrations are close to the Saturated Vapour Concentration (SVC) of 2.1 mg/L at 20C. The criteria for classification state "An LC50 well below the SVC will be considered for classification according to the criteria for vapours: whereas an LC50 close to or above the SVC will be considered for classification according to the criteria for mists (see also OECD GD 39)".Furfuryl alcohol must be classified according to the criteria for mists. Therefore furfuryl alcohol warrants classification under Category 4 for acute inhalation toxicity, H332 Harmful if inhaled. However, in accordance with the minimum legal classification of Annex VI, classification should be at minimum Category 3 for inhalation exposure. Therefore, the applicable classification is Acute Inhalation Category 3, H331 Toxic if inhaled.
Skin irritation H315 is also warranted
