Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

There are no experimental and/or literature specific data on L-CARNITINEAMIDE D-CAMPHORATED.

The analysis was carried out by calculation tools, but results were not exhaustive, since it is a salt, public programs are outside the application field and can not be used. Therefore it has been evaluated the comparison with the base (Camphor; CAS: 76 -22 -2; EC: 200 -945 -0) and the counter-ion (Levocarnitine; CAS: 541 -15 -1; EC: 208 -768 -0) of the substance properties.

Camphor is an eye, skin and respiratory irritant; in particular about eye irritation it was reported to cause flickering, darkening or veiling of vision along with noises in the ears; corneal erosions have been reported in association with the use of inhalant capsules containing camphor [*6 -7].

Nevertheless the irritating properties of Camphor are not expected to be characterizing also for L-Carnitineanide D-Camphorated, because the counter-ion neutralizes the acid component, decreasing possibile irritating properties.

Any details about data available are reported in the report attached at the point 13: Assessment Report.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on evidences determinated by the structure and chemical/physical properties, the L-Carnitineanide D-Camphorated is not expected to be irritant to skin/eye/respiratory tract.

According to the Regulation EC1272/2008 (CLP) L-Carnitineamide D-Camphorated is classified as non irritant.
