Justification for classification or non-classification
On the basis of reproductive toxicity data on castor oil and a developmental study on 12-hydroxystearic acid itself, the substanceis not expected to show reproductive or developmental toxicity following oral or dermal exposure. This assessment is further supported by the substantial amount of information on the reproductive toxicity and toxicity to reproductive organs of castor oil through its use as a vehicle in toxicity studies as part of the US National Toxicology Programme (CIR, 2007). Likewise, the long history of safe use of structural analogue fatty acids and their related glycerides as present in food oils, as well as the GRAS status for several of the fatty acids indicate their low potential for reproductive and/or developmental toxicity.
Based on the existing information, the substance does not require classification for reproductive or developmental toxicity according to Directive 67/548/EC or Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
Additional information
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.
