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.

Additional information

For assessment of reproductive toxicity/fertility a read across to HDI oligomers, isocyanurate type (EC 931 -274 -8) is applied. This substance is a close structural analogue to HDI oligomers, iminooxadiazindione type, also derived from catalytic oligomerisation of 1,6 -hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI; CAS 822 -06 -0) and also belonging to the CAS number 28182-81-2 (Hexane, 1,6 - diisocyanato-, homopolymer).The read across is based on physicochemical and toxicological similarity. In fact, comparison of the toxicological endpoints, that are available for both of the two substances reveal good correlation.

 Toxicological endpoint  HDI oligomers, isocyanurate type  HDI oligomers, iminooxadiazindione type
 Acute oral toxicity  > 2000 mg/kg  > 2000 mg/kg
 Acute inhalation toxicity (pulmonary irritant study) NOAEL 3 mg/m³   NOAEL 2.1 mg/m³
 Skin Irritation/Corrosion  slight irritation/no classification required  slight irritation/no classification required
 Eye Irritation/Corrosion  very slight irritation/no classification required  very slight irritation/no classification required
 Skin Sensitisation  classification required  classification required
 Bacterial Mutagenicity (Ames)  negative  negative

With respect to Inhalation Toxicity an expert statement is available justifying the read across (Pauluhn, Comparison of pulmonary irritation potency..., Bayer HealthCare AG, 2008; attached to this endpoint summary).

Therefore, test results obtained for HDI oligomers, isocyanurate type can be transferred to HDI oligomers, iminooxadiazindione type and data on reproductive toxicity/fertility of HDI oligomers, isocyanurate type are also valid for HDI oligomers, iminooxadiazindione type. This approach is in accordance with Annex XI, section 1.5 of the REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006).

Based on the read across to HDI oligomers, isocyanurate type a data waiving is claimed for toxicity to reproduction for HDI oligomers, iminooxadiazindione type. The rationale for waiving additional animal studies on reproductive toxicity for aliphatic diisocyanate monomers and their polyisocyanates is attached to this endpoint summary.


Justification for selection of Effect on fertility via inhalation route:
No definite reproductive toxicity study is available for the substance. Based on read-across two reproductive toxicity screenings are available, but none is selected here, since both are considered relevant for assessment.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Effect on developmental toxicity: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for selection of Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route:
Inhalation is the relevant route of exposure during use.

Justification for selection of Effect on developmental toxicity: via inhalation route:
No study is selected, since three fully reliable developmental toxicity studies are available based on read across, and are all considered relevant for assessment.

Justification for selection of Effect on developmental toxicity: via dermal route:
Inhalation is the relevant route of exposure during use.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Annex I, no classification is warranted for toxicity to reproduction.
