Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
A component (alpha-guaiene) is present at a content superior to 10 % and is classified H319. Thereore the substance is by default classified H319.
Executive summary:

The NCS is composed of several identified constituents and in that, it can be considered as a mixture according to the definition of the CLP Regulation. The decision logic for classification of mixtures from the ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (2017) was used to determine the serious eye damage/ eye irritant hazard of the registered substance. The decision of classification as eye Damage category 2 was based on existing data on constituents (additivity principles) the registered substance has a constituent classified as Eye Damage Category 2 present at more than 10% and should be classified as a Eye damage category 2 without further testing according to the rules for classification of mixtures of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

The component alpha-guaiene (EC N°641 -402 -1) is present at a content superior to 10 % and is classified H319 (IFRA elbelling manual). Thereore the substance is by default classified H319.
