Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Adipic acid possesses eye and respiratory tract irritation based on the acidic character. Since disodium adipate is neutral in aqueous solutions no read-across between the disodium salt and the acid is appropriate for local effects. In vitro corrosion and irritation studies are performed for the disodium salt and indicate that this compound is not irritating.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin irritation / corrosion
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not irritating)
Eye irritation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not irritating)
Respiratory irritation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
Adipic acid possesses eye and respiratory tract irritation based on the acidic character. Since disodium adipate is neutral in aqueous solutions no read-across between the disodium salt and the acid is appropriate for local effects. In vitro corrosion and irritation studies are performed for the disodium salt and indicate that this compound is not irritating.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Disodium adipate is considered to be not irritating.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
