Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicological information

Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
sub-chronic toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Non-guideline-conform investigations without GLP with several methodical deficiencies: (i) key information on test substance is missing such as purity, stability, particle size; (ii) test methodology is reported with inadequate details: insufficient description on animal treatment/husbandry, laboratory conditions and other experimental procedures, (iii) inadequate analytical verification of actual exposure concentrations, and lack of documentation of particle size distributions.
