Description of key information
The toxicity of the substance is low after
oral exposure. Also the toxicity after exposure via inhalation and
dermal is expected to be low.
oral LD50 > 2000 mg/kg (test substance)
inhalative waiving
dermal waiving: The study does not need to be conducted because the substance does not meet the criteria for classification as acute toxicity or STOT SE by the oral route. Additionally studies on similar substances resulted in a dermal LD50 of > 2000 mg/kg.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Acute toxicity: via oral route

Additional information
No mortality was observed in various studies with the target substance as well as other structurally related materials up to very high doses. Therefore the toxicity of the substance is low after oral exposure. The same is expected for inhalative and dermal toxicity.
The oral LD50 of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C8-10-alkyl esters was greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. Also the studies on similar substances resulted in LD50 > 2000 m/kg.
The target substance has very low vapour pressure (ca. 0.1 Pa at 38°C), so the potential for the generation of inhalable forms is low, also the use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be unlikely to occur, and no acute inhalation test needs to be performed. Data from a supporting study on a similar substance demonstrate the lack of toxicity after single exposure via inhalation. Also data for other high molecular weight phthalates suggest that inhalation toxicity would be expected to be low (NICNAS, 2015).
No acute dermal study of the target substance is available. This endpoint is waived. The study does not need to be conducted because the substance does not meet the criteria for classification as acute toxicity or STOT SE by the oral route.
However, in addition the acute dermal toxicity has been investigated with the source substances 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, C6-10-alkyl esters and Diundecyl phthalate following administration of a single dose to the rat at a level of 2000 mg/kg. No mortality occurred, demonstrating the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg. In the rabbit, a LD50 in excess of 7940 mg/kg body weight has been reported for the source substance Diundecyl phthalate.
On the basis of all evaluated data, the similarity of the source substances is justified on basis of similar composition, structural similarity, the physico-chemical properties, toxicokinetics and toxicological profiles and supported by various QSAR methods. Therefore the read-across approach is used to fill data gaps. There is convincing evidence that the substances have an overall common category profile in regard to this endpoints. The substances have the same basic structure (diester of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid), with almost identical and overlapping alkyl chains. All of the substances (the target substance 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, C8 -10 -alkyl esters as well as the source substance) are esters. The target substance is a mixture of different isomers, with ca. 21 % dioctyl phthalate and ca. 28 % didecyl phthalate and ca. 48 % decyl octyl phthalate. Source substance 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, C6-10-alkyl esters (CAS-number 68515-51-5), is also a mixture of different isomers, with ca. 33 % dioctyl phthalate and ca. 18 % hexyl octyl phthalate and ca. 30 % decyl octyl phthalate and ca. 7.5 % didecyl phthalate. Therefore, the isomers of the target substance are also constituents of the source substance 1. Therefore it is likely that the same is valid for the test substance.
Also data for other high molecular weight phthalates suggest that dermal toxicity would be expected to be low (NICNAS, 2015).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Overall, the acute toxicity of the test substance is expected to be low and does not require classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
