Additional information
No acute toxicity data are available on Fatty acids, C16-18 (even numbered), esters with glycerol oligomers. However, in EFSA's scientific opinion on the re-evaluation of polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (PEPA, E 475), as a food additive, it is stated that rats given single doses of 7, 14 or 29 g/kg bw of a polyglycerol ester via gavage did not show any signs of toxic effects. Similarly, rabbits given single doses of 10–29 g/kg bw via gavage showed no toxic effects (as described by JECFA, 1974a). The available data thus indicated a low acute oral toxicity of PEFA (EFSA, 2017)
The registrants are currently trying to get hold of the acute toxicity studies mentioned in the aforementioned EFSA report. Therefore, as an interim measure, the acute oral toxicity hazard of the registered substance was assessed based on the available data from the source substances 1,2,3 -propanetriol, homopolymer, diisooctadecanoate (CAS 63705-03-3) and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl octadec-9-enoate (CAS 111-03-5). In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 “Grouping of substances and read across” and following the Read across assessment framework (RAAF, ECHA 2017) read across from analogue substances have been applied to support the human health hazard assessment of Fatty acids, C16-18 (even numbered), esters with glycerol oligomers.
Acute toxicity: oral
CAS 63705-03-3
For the source substance 1,2,3 -propanetriol, homopolymer, diisooctadecanoate (CAS 63705-03-3), an acute oral toxicity study (limit test) according to OECD TG 401 (Potokar, 1988) and conducted under GLP condition is available. Groups of 5 female Wistar rats received doses of 5000 mg /kg bw of test substance by gavage. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality, signs of systemic toxicity and abnormalities during necropsy were observed. No effect on body weight was noted. Thus, the acute oral LD 50 in rats was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
CAS 111 -03 -5
For the source substance 2,3-dihydroxypropyl octadec-9-enoate (CAS 111-03-5), an acute oral toxicity study (limit test) according to OECD TG 423 (MHLW, 2005) and conducted under GLP condition is available. 3 female Sprague-Dawley rats received doses of 2000 mg /kg bw of test substance by gavage. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality, signs of systemic toxicity and abnormalities during necropsy were observed. No effect on body weight was noted. Thus, the acute oral LD 50 in rats was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Acute toxicity: dermal
CAS 63705-03-3
The acute dermal toxicity potential of the source substance 1,2,3 -propanetriol, homopolymer, diisooctadecanoate (CAS 63705-03-3) was investigated in a limit test performed according to OECD Guideline 402 (Cords, 2012) and under GLP conditions. The dorsal and dorsolateral parts of the trunk of five male and female rats were treated semiocclusively with the test material at 5000 mg/kg bw. 24 hours after application, the treated area of skin was rinsed with warm water. No mortality occurred and no clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in any of the animals during the 14-day observation period. The mean body weight of the male animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period. The mean body weights of the female animals did not significantly change during the first post-exposure observation week, probably due to the bandage procedure, but increased during the second week within the normal range. Finally no macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted at necropsy. Thus, the dermal LD50 after treatment with 1,2,3-Propanetriol, homopolymer, diisooctadecanoate in male and female rats was found to be > 5000 mg/kg bw.
CAS No. 555-43-1
In an acute dermal toxicity study, the source substance glycerol tristearate was investigated in rats in accordance with OECD guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (Krueger, 1998). The animals (5 per sex) were dermally exposed to the test substance at a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The powdery test substance was suspended in corn oil at a concentration of 40 g/100 m³ and applied onto the shaved skin of the test animals (5 cm³/kg bw) for 24 h under semiocclusive conditions. After exposure, residual test substance was removed and animals were observed for a period of 14 days. No treatment-related mortalities occurred and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study. Male rats showed the expected gain in body weight throughout the study. Minimal body weight gain was recorded in 2/5 females, whereas 1/5 females showed no gain in body weight. However, this finding was not considered to be treatment-related, since it was considered a physiological finding in rats of this age. At necropsy, macroscopic examination revealed no test substance-related abnormalities. Based on these results, the dermal LD50 value for male and female rats is > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Conclusion for acute toxicity
The reliable data available for the source substances indicate a very low level of acute toxicity via the oral and dermal route, as LD50 values were greater than the administered limit values. Therefore, as the available data did not identify any acute toxicity, the registration substance is not expected to be hazardous following acute exposure via the oral and dermal route.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on read-across from structurally similar substances, the available data on oral and dermal toxicity do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP), and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
