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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 201-082-2 | CAS number: 78-09-1
Acute Toxicity: dermal
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: dermal
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2012
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Justification for type of information:
- The read-across of data from chemical source (triethyl orthoformate) to chemical target (Tetraethyl orthocarbonate) is based on the following hypothesis:
- chemical source and chemical target have the same organic functional groups; the only difference is the aliphatic carbon of the chemical source no judged relevant for this evaluation
- chemical source and chemical target have a very close structure similarity
- chemical source and chemical target have similar flash point and boiling point
Cross-reference
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source

- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Read-across of data from chemical source (triethyl orthoformate) to chemical target (Tetraethyl orthocarbonate)
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Key result
- Sex:
- not specified
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- ca. 18 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks on result:
- other:
- Remarks:
- LD50 value equal to 18000 mg/kg bw
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- No data are available for the tetraethyl orthocarbonate; however, the triethyl orthoformate (a structural analogue substance) has a LD50 value equal to 18000 mg/kg bw in rabbit. The read-across of these data is considered as justified
- Executive summary:
The triethyl orthoformate (a structural analogue substance) has a LD50 value equal to 18000 mg/kg bw in rabbit.
