Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Additional information - workers

TBBPA is not acutely toxic via the oral, inhalation or dermal routes; neither is TBBPA an irritant to the skin or eye, or a skin sensitiser, and in the absence of relevant local effects in chronic toxicity studies derivation of acute DNEL values for toxicity or long-term local effects is not appropriate.

TBBPA’s NOAEL in a 2 year oral rat chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity study was 250 mg/kg/d and was used to derive long-term systemic DNEL values. Mechanistic considerations, and the absence of any genotoxic response, showed the tumours observed in the study were not threshold related and DNELs rather than DMELs could be set.

The material was not toxic to reproduction or a developmental toxin.

Correction factors for inhalation and dermal NOAEL values derived from the oral NOAEL were taken from the ECHA guidance document "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment: Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose[concentration]-response for human health", and used the methods and equations therein.

Additional information - General Population

TBBPA is not sold to the general population.

TBBPA is not acutely toxic via the oral, inhalation or dermal routes; neither is TBBPA an irritant to the skin or eye, or a skin sensitiser, and in the absence of relevant local effects in chronic toxicity studies, derivation of acute DNEL values for toxicity or long-term local effects is not appropriate.

TBBPA’s NOAEL in a 2 yearoral ratchronic toxicity and carcinogenicity study was 250 mg/kg/d and was used to derive long-term systemic DNEL values. Mechanistic considerations, and the absence of any genotoxic response, showed the tumours observed in the study were not threshold related and DNELs rather than DMELs could be set.

The material was not toxic to reproduction or a developmental toxin.

Correction factors for inhalation and dermal NOAEL values derived from the oral NOAEL were taken from the ECHA guidance document "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment: Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose[concentration]-response for human health", and used the methods and equations therein.
