Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:

Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
other information
Justification for type of information:
Justification for the read-across from the introduced read-across supporting substance (CAS 67938 -21 -0) to the registration substance:
The introduced read-across supporting substance (CAS 67938-21-0) is structurally related to the registration substance. Both substances are fatty acid esters of polyglycerols, the only diffence being that the introduced read-across source substance (CAS 67938-21-0) is synthesized by using isostearic acid as fatty acid while the registration substance by using stearic acid.
Both substances are expected to undergo enzymatic hydrolysis resulting into the release of polyglyerols and the corresponding fatty acids (isostearic acid for the read-across supporting substance and the stearic acid for the registration substance. Isostearic acid as well as the stearic acid are well-investigated substances and occurs also endogenously. No significant difference in the skin irritation property can be derived.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
assessment report
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

No classification is warranted for the registration substance based on the read-across data.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:

Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of patch
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
Hostacerin DGI was tested for primary skin irritation according to OECD test guideline 404 using three New Zealand albino rabbits. Only animals with intact skin were used. Each animal was treated with 0.5 mL undiluted Hostacerin DGI. The test item was applied over the whole surface of a 2.5 x 2.5 cm cellulose patch on piece of surgical plaster. The plaster was fixed to the prepared skin area and then covered with a semi-occlusive bandage. The exposure period was 4 hours. After the exposure all remnants of the test material were carefully removed from the skin with warm tap water. Examinations of skin took place after 30-60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patches. Erythema and edema were evaluated numerically according to the score of Draize.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, technical grade of test item is not irritationg to the skin and thus not subject to labeling requirements.
