According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint".Since the category concept is applied to the polyol esters, data gaps will be filled by interpolation, as part of a read across approach from a representative category member(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the category concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.Therefore, based on the group concept, all available data on repeated dose toxicity do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation.

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Consensus method: The predicted toxicity is estimated by taking an average of the predicted toxicities from the below QSAR methods (provided the predictions are within the respective applicability domains):

Hierarchical method: The toxicity for a given query compound is estimated using the weighted average of the predictions from several different models. The different models are obtained by using Ward’s method to divide the training set into a series of structurally similar clusters. A genetic algorithm based technique is used to generate models for each cluster. The models are generated prior to runtime.
 FDA method: The prediction for each test chemical is made using a new model that is fit to the chemicals that are most similar to the test compound. Each model is generated at runtime.
 Single model method: Predictions are made using a multilinear regression model that is fit to the training set (using molecular descriptors as independent variables) using a genetic algorithm based approach. The regression model is generated prior to runtime.
 Group contribution method: Predictions are made using a multilinear regression model that is fit to the training set (using molecular fragment counts as independent variables). The regression model is generated prior to runtime.
 Nearest neighbor method: The predicted toxicity is estimated by taking an average of the 3 chemicals in the training set that are most similar to the test chemical.
