Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 summary
Administrative data
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Effects on fertility
Effect on fertility: via oral route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- 30 mg/kg bw/day
- Study duration:
- chronic
- Species:
- rat
- Quality of whole database:
- Klimisch 2. Read-across approach.
The analogue CAS No. 128-37-0 (BHT) which shares the same functional group (alkylphenol) with the substance CAS no. 88-27-7 (2,6-di-tert-butyl-α-dimethylamino-p-cresol), also has comparable values for the relevant molecular properties. Therefore, the results obtained with the substance CAS No. 128 -37-0 can be used for the read-across approach.
Weight of evidence: Experimental results from two or three generation studies using different species and published in scientific articles.
Effect on fertility: via inhalation route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Effect on fertility: via dermal route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available

Klimisch 2. Read-across approach.
The analogue CAS No. 128-37-0 (BHT) which shares the same functional group (alkylphenol) with the substance CAS no. 88-27-7 (2,6-di-tert-butyl-α-dimethylamino-p-cresol), also has comparable values for the relevant molecular properties. Therefore, the results obtained with the substance CAS No. 128 -37-0 can be used for the read-across approach.
Weight of evidence: Experimental results from two or three generation studies using different species and published in scientific articles.
Read-across approach: Based on the available information, the only effects on reproduction were lower numbers of litters of ten or more pups at birth . The NOAEL was 30 mg/kg bw/day in the rat.
Justification for selection of Effect on fertility via oral route:
The study with the longest duration and lowest NOAEL was chosen as key study (read-across approach).
Effects on developmental toxicity
Description of key information
Klimisch 2. Read-across approach.
The analogue CAS No. 119-47-1 (6,6'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-methylenedi-p-cresol) which shares the same functional group (alkylphenol) with the substance CAS no. 128-37-0 (2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol), also has comparable values for the relevant molecular properties. Therefore, the results obtained with the substance CAS No. 119-47-1 can be used for the read-across approach.
Key study: Experimental results from developmental study in rats and read-across approach from an analogue.
Read-across approach: The NOAEL for maternal toxicity is 72 mg/kg bw/day and the NOAEL for developmental toxicity was 290 mg/kg bw/day (the highest dose tested).
Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- 290 mg/kg bw/day
- Study duration:
- subacute
- Species:
- rat
- Quality of whole database:

Key study: Experimental results from developmental study in rats and read-across approach from an analogue.
Effect on developmental toxicity: via inhalation route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via dermal route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
Only one study available (read-across approach)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data, the substance is not classified for toxicity to reproduction.
