Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
short-term repeated dose toxicity: dermal
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
other information
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Study meets generally acceptable scientific principles (mainly local effects were studied; no doses reported)
Cross-reference
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
other: read-across target
Reference
Endpoint:
short-term repeated dose toxicity: dermal
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
other information
Justification for type of information:
It is considered justified to utilise information on this substance in a read across approach since it is a potential metabolite of the registered substance.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Remarks on result:
not measured/tested
Critical effects observed:
not specified
Conclusions:
Drying of the skin was reported and on continuous exposure, cracking, furrowing and exfoliation of the epidermis. No systemic effects were noted without information of the scope of survey.
Executive summary:

It is considered justified to utilise information on n-butanol in a read across approach since it is a potential metabolite of the registered substance.

Butan-1-ol was applied to rabbit skin under occlusive conditions for 12* 5 h within 21 d. Mainly local effects were studied.

Drying of the skin was reported and on continuous exposure, cracking, furrowing and exfoliation of the epidermis. No systemic effects were noted without information of the scope of survey.
