Description of key information

Weight of evidence: Read-across approach from an analogue. 
The analogue CAS No. 128-37-0 (BHT) which shares the same functional group (alkylphenol) with the two main constituents of the substance Reaction mass of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol and 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol, also has comparable values for the relevant molecular properties. Therefore, the results obtained with the substance CAS No. 128 -37-0 can be used for the read-across approach.
Based on experimental data, the read-across approach is applied and the substance is considered to be non-carcinogenic.
