Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justifications and discussions
- Category definition:
- In this document arguments are given for a category approach for four 2-amino-1,3-propane-diols. These substances share a common propane backbone with an amine group at 2-carbon position and primary alcohols at 1 and 3 positions. Proposed members of the aminopropanediol category are: 2-amino-1,3-propanediol (APD, CAS No. 534-03-2), 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propane-diol (AMPD, CAS No. 115-69-5), 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol (AEPD, CAS No. 115-70-8), and 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (trometamol, CAS No. 77-86-1).
- Category description:
- Analogues differ in length of the alkyl side-chain at position 2: from 0 carbon atoms (APD) through 1 (AMPD) to 2 (AEPD). Only structural difference between trometamol and AEPD: replacement of a hydroxymethyl group with a ethyl group.
- Category rationale:
- It is expected that the four substances share similar physico-chemical properties, as well as properties in regard to environmental fate, environmental toxicology, and mammalian toxicology. Their class with respect to the mode of action in the environment can be characterised as narcotic aliphatic amines. These substances are rapidly absorbed in-vivo, are not metabolised and rapidly excreted via urine. The available data support this hypothesis and underpin the read-across between the category members to fill data gaps while minimising additional animal testing where possible.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
