Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

In accordance with Annex VIII of REACH, a study to address information requirement 8.6.1 (short-term repeated dose toxicity) does not need to be conducted because relevant human exposure can be excluded in accordance with REACH Annex XI Section 3.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route - systemic effects

Endpoint:
short-term repeated dose toxicity: oral
Data waiving:
exposure considerations
Justification for data waiving:
a short-term toxicity study does not need to be conducted because relevant human exposure can be excluded as based on the provided thorough and rigorous exposure assessment
Justification for type of information:
In accordance with Annex VIII of REACH, a study to address information requirement 8.6.1 (short-term repeated dose toxicity) does not need to be conducted because relevant human exposure can be excluded in accordance with REACH Annex XI Section 3.
Indeed, the available toxicokinetic information indicates that the bioavailability of enzymes is low due to the fact that no significant absorption can be expected through the respiratory and/or gastrointestinal tract and/or through the skin.
Furthermore, exposure to enzymes will be limited because of the DMEL (derived minimum exposure levels) to prevent respiratory allergy (supported by exposure scenarios and DMEL values included in the CSR). Respiratory allergy is generally considered to be the only human health hazard of enzymes indicating that this is the most sensitive endpoint considering enzyme toxicity. Concentrations that are not expected to result in respiratory allergy will not result in any other toxic effect.
Finally, a short-term repeated dose toxicity study is not conducted on animal welfare grounds since it would not represent an ethical or justified use of animals.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to specific target organ toxicity following repeated exposure.
