Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The registered substance Tall-oil fatty acids oligomeric reaction products with triethylenetetramine and glycidyl tolyl ether is considered sufficiently similar to Fatty acids, tall-oil, reaction products with bisphenol A to deem read-across between the two substances acceptable (please refer to section 13 for read-across report).

The source substance Fatty acids, tall-oil, reaction products with bisphenol A was investigated with the Reproduction/ Developmental Toxicity Screening Test” (adopted 22 March 1996). This study was also designed to be compatible with Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 laying down test methods pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). In this OECD 422 test, No adverse effects were observed at the highest dose level administered, therefore the NOAEL was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/d in male and female rats.

The source substance Fatty acids, tall-oil, reaction products with bisphenol A was tested in an OECD 408 90-day oral repeated dose study, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level for the rat following 90 consecutive days of treatment was determimed to be 100 mg/kg bw/day. This NOAEL has been used for risk characterisation purposes, it is considered to reflect a conservative endpoint to assess worker exposure in a manufacturing and industrial setting.

The ‘No Observed Effect Level’ (NOEL) for repeated toxicity was considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day.Since only a sub-chronic oral toxicity study is available a route-to-route extrapolation is needed to derive the DNELs for dermal and inhalation routes. According to Chapter R.8 of REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, it is proposed in the absence of route specific information on the starting route, to include a default factor of 2 in the case of oral-inhalation extrapolation. On the assumption, that in general, dermal absorption will not be higher than oral absorption, no default factor is introduced for the oral to dermal extrapolation. The REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (R.8.4.2) prescribes a default factor of 1 in case of oral to dermal extrapolation.

This approach will be taken forward to DNEL derivation. 100/2 (absorption rate) / 0.38 m3/kg bw = Inhalation NOAEL Rat of 131.6 mg/m3 (8h)

NOAEC = 131.6 x 0.67 = 88.2 mg/m3)

AF for differences in duration of exposure:
2
Justification:
Assessment factor of two included due to extrapolation from a sub-chronic to chronic endpoint
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
2.5
Justification:
Default, to correct for differences in metabolic rate (allometric scaling) and to apply an additional factor of 2.5 for other interspecies differences, i.e.toxicokinetic differences not related to metabolic rate (small part) and toxicodynamic differences (larger part). As described in R.8.4.3.1 Assessment factors relating to the extrapolation procedure of the REACH Guidance)
AF for other interspecies differences:
5
Justification:
For workers, as standard procedure for threshold effects a default assessment factor of 5 is to be used, based on the fact that this sub population does not cover the very young, the very old, and the very ill.
AF for intraspecies differences:
4
Justification:
Assuming body weight of rat 0.250 kg an allometric scaling factor of 4 is applied based on the assumed Human weight of 70 kg (as detailed in Table R8-3 of REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment)

The registered substance substance (target) is classified as a Cat 1A sensitizer (based on read across to Fatty acids, tall-oil, reaction products with bisphenol A), as a consequence and in accordance with Part E Table E.3 -1 of the ECHA guidance the registered substance is allocated to the High Hazard band and qualitative assessment will be required as it is not possible to derive a threshold dose for sensitization.
