Description of key information

No tests are available for the substance under registration Reaction mass of acetophenone and hydratropaldehyde and (E)-1,4-diphenyl-2-butene-1,4-dione. However, the main constituent Acetophenone is regarded as most relevant for the evaluation of the multi consituent substance. Therefore, the results of the test with Acetophenone were presented. The procedure laid down in the CLP regulation (1272/2008/EG) to base the classification and labelling on the available data and classification of the known main and relevant constituents was used. Based on this evaluation no further testing is indicated to be neccessary.

Underlined LD50, LDLo values were used to calculate the ATEmix (see details below) in a conservative approach.

 

Data on acute oral toxicity data is available for the main constituent Acetophenon (with up to 80% concentration) and hydratropaldehyde and the impurities 1,1'-(1,1-dimethyl-3-methylene-1,3-propanediyl)bisbenzene, 2-phenylpropan-2-ol, cresol and Phenol. For the impurity isomeric mixture cresol (CAS 1319-77-3) data is available for the isomers o-, m-, p-cresol which are considered suitable to assess the isomeric mixture cresol (based on available disseminated information by ECHA). No data on acute oral toxicity is available for (E)-1,4-diphenyl-2-butene-1,4-dione and the impurity β,β-dimethylstyrene β,β-dimethylstyrene. 

The acute oral toxicity is evaluated based on the procedure laid out in section 3.1.3.6.2. (Classification of mixtures when data are not available for all components) of the CLP-Regulation (1272/2008 (EC)).

The total concentration of the constituents and impurities with unknown toxicity is > 10 %, therefore, the formula presented in section 3.1.3.6.1 of annex 1 of the CLP-Regulation (1272/2008 (EC)) shall be corrected to adjust for the total percentage of the unknown containing substances as follows:

 

(100 − (ΣC unknown if > 10 %)/ATEmix = Σn Ci/ATEi

 

ATEmix was calculated to be ca. 1600 mg/kg b.w. based on the oral acute toxicity data for the constituents and impurities taking into account the unknown toxicity of some containing (unknown) substances according to the formula above. Taking into account some uncertainty the ATEmix is set to > 300 - 1600 mg/kg bw. This ATEmix leads to a classification into oral acute toxicity Category 4 according to the criteria of the CLP regulation.

Based on this conservative approach a classification of the (multi constituent) substance was concluded. Thus, no further testing regarding the acute oral toxicity (8.5.1. Annex VII, REACH) is considered appropriate. By using this above procedure this adaption to the in vivo acute oral toxicity test is in compliance with the general rules contained in Annex XI, REACH.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acute toxicity via oral route:

The substance Reaction mass of acetophenone and hydratropaldehyde and (E)-1,4-diphenyl-2-butene-1,4-dione was evaluated for the endpoint acute oral toxicity and possible classification based on the method described in section 3.1.3.6.3 in annex I of the CLP-regulation ((EC)1272/2008).

ATEmix was calculated to be ca. 1600 mg/kg b.w. based on the oral acute toxicity data for the constituents and impurities taking into account the unknown toxicity of some containing (unknown) substances according to the formula presented in section 3.1.3.6.1 of annex I of the CLP-Regulation ((100 − (ΣC unknown if > 10 %)/ATEmix = Σn Ci/ATEi). Taking into account some uncertainty the ATEmix is set to > 300 - 1600 mg/kg bw. This ATEmix leads to a classification into oral acute toxicity Category 4 according to the criteria of the CLP regulation.

Acute toxicity via dermal route:

Based on the method described in section 3.1.3.6.3 in annex I of the CLP-regulation ((EC)1272/2008) the substance Reaction mass of acetophenone and hydratropaldehyde and (E)-1,4-diphenyl-2-butene-1,4-dione does not need to be classified as acute toxic via oral route (ATEmix = 3125 mg/kg bw. based on typical concentrations/ 2550 mg/kg bw. based on highest concentration of constituents/impurities with unknown toxicity). The calculated ATEmix lays above the limit for classification.
