Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Description of key information

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material UMC in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000mg/kg bodyweight (Globally Harmonised Classification System-Unclassified).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

Endpoint conclusion
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw

Additional information

Due to the nature of the end use of the substance (cosmetic ingredient) the registered substance UC was not used for animal testing. A surrogate substance Undecenyl methoxycrylene has been identified as the most suitable substance to conduct the animal studies on, therefore the classification for UC has been based on the results from Undecenyl methoxycrylene. Please see section 13 for our justifications as to why UMC should be a sufficient surrogate material.

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material UMC in the Wistar strain rat. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:

§        OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No 420 “Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Method” (2001)

§        Method B1 bis Acute Toxicity (Oral) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008

Justification for classification or non-classification

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material UMC in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000mg/kg bodyweight (Globally Harmonised Classification System-Unclassified).
