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

C12-C22 Alkyl polyglycosides are UVCB consisting of a mixture of fatty acid and glycosides. This category consists of 7 members judged as similar based on the weight of evidence (i.e. physicochemical properties, tolerance, and systemic safety). The available data (mainly the sub-acute data) show that C12-C22 alkyl polyglycosides will probably be absorbed to a low extent via the skin and via inhalation and via the gastro-intestinal-tract. Actually, 4 independent studies result all at the same NOAEL (i.e. 1000 mg/kg/day, the highest dose tested). Thus, in a weight of evidence dermal and oral absorption rates of C12-C22 Alkyl polyglycosides are assumed to be similar for all the members of this category since there aren’t any significant isolated adverse effects considered treatment-dependant. Due to their low water solubility and their resemblance C12-C22 Alkyl polyglycosidesand the metabolites (and their metabolites i.e. fatty acid, glycoside,) can have the same bioavailability in tissue of the organism. Moreover, considering the categorization-thinking on the fatty acid (C12-C22 fatty acid), one can extend this approach to C12-C22 Alkyl polyglycosides category. Therefore, the toxicokinetic investigation is judgednon relevant for any member from this category.
