Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
There is number of unifying considerations justifying the similarity between the two substances:
- Similarity of synthesis: the two substances are obtained by an acidic alkaline or enzymatic hydrolysis of protein.
- Similarity of use: the two substances are used in industrial and biotechnological applications as a supplement to cell culture, food for aquatic organisms and animals.
- Similarity of toxicokinetic behavior: the two substances are composed primarily of amino acids which are completely metabolized. Once ingested the two substances follow the same ways of absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination.

2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
See attached read across justification document)

3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
The read-across substance, as compared to the target substance, is more soluble (1,896 g/L and 8.82 – 28.96 g/L, respectively) and thus provides a conservative read-across due to increased bioavailability.

No abnormalities were detected in the skin of any animal in any of the observation times and hence the 72 hours was considered the end of the observation period in allanimals.
Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study on proteines hydrolysates and referring to the classification criteria (Commission Directive 2001/59/EC of 6 August 2001), the product is considered as "NO IRRITANT" on the skin of rabbits. Based on the read across strategy from this supporting substance, peptones casein are considered as well "NO IRRITANT".
