Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

According to Annex VII "Standard Information Requirements for Substances Manufactured or Imported in Quantities of one Tonne or More" of the "Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC” (as amended) (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p 1), 8.1, the assessment of this endpoint comprises the following consecutive steps:

(1) an assessment of the available human and animal data: The registrant has no skin irritation/corrosion data available.

(2) an assessment of the acid or alkaline reserve: The molecular weight of the substance is 122 g/mole. If the substance is mixed with small amounts of water, due to hydrolyzis, up to aproximately 8 moles/kg of 3-hydroxopropanesulfonic acid may be formed

(3) in vitro study for skin corrosion,

(4) in vitro study for skin irritation.

An in vitro study for skin corrosion and an in vitro study for skin irritation do not need to be conducted if :

— "the available information indicates that the criteria are met for classification as corrosive to the skin or irritating to eyes".

This criterium is established since corrosive substances are - in general - not unawarely in contact with the skin. As the substance is classified as a CMR substance, at least, the same level level of protection is reached and no test is required.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The assessment of this endpoint comprised the following consecutive steps:

(1) an assessment of the available human and animal data: The registrant has no skin irritation/corrosion data available.

(2) an assessment of the acid or alkaline reserve: The molecular weight of the substance is 122 g/mole. If the substance is mixed with small amounts of water, due to hydrolyzis, up to aproximately 8 moles/kg of3-hydroxopropanesulfonicacidmay be formed

(3) in vitro study for skin corrosion,

(4) in vitro study for skin irritation.

An in vitro study for skin corrosion and an in vitro study for skin irritation had not to be performed because "the available information indicates that the criteria are met for classification as corrosive to the skin or irritating to eyes.

This criterium is established since corrosive substances are - in general - not unawarely in contact with the skin. As the substance is classified as a CMR substance, at least, the same level level of protection is reached and no test is required.
