Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Acute Toxicty: Inhalation

One acute inhalation toxicity study in the rat was available. In the key study (OECD 403, GLP), there were no mortalities. Two animals exhibited slight body weight loss from day 0 to day 3 (less the 4% of day 0 weight). Four animals (1M, 3F) had dark red lungs noted at necropsy. Two females had cysts on the kidneys and one female had an enlarged pituitary gland.

As no deaths were observed, the LC50 value for the acute inhalation toxicity endpoint is > 457000 ppm (2833400 mg/m3).

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint

In accordance with Column 2 of Annex VII Section 8.5.1, the study is not required for gases if a study on acute toxicity by the inhalation route is available.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint

Only 1 key study available.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint

In accordance with Column 2 of Annex VIII Section 8.5, as there  is only 1 route of exposure (inhalation), information for only that route need be provided.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information in the dossier, the substance 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane (CAS No. 690-39-1) does not need to be classified for acute toxicity or specific target organ toxicity - single exposure when the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC are applied.
