Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Not considered to be carcinogenic.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Justification for classification or non-classification

‘Glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. (SDA Reporting Number: 01-001-00)’ and other substances of the same read-across category have been tested for carcinogenicity in rodents and found to have no effect after oral exposure. The substance also does not contain any functional groups suggesting carcinogenic activity. No carcinogenicity is expected from dermal exposure as systemic uptake will be lower than from the oral route. Finally, given the physical state, low vapour pressure of the substance and the fact that it is not handled or marketed as a liquid or a powder, carcinogenicity as a result of inhalatory exposure is not likely. Further, ‘glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. (SDA Reporting Number: 01-001-00)’ and other substances of the same read-across category have a very long history of safe use in nutritional (food and feed), cosmetic and industrial applications. In the form of olive oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, etc., they are also frequently employed as vehicles in toxicity studies following international testing guidelines (e.g. OECD) for the evaluation of the repeated dose toxicity, carcinogenicity or reproductive/developmental toxicity of chemical substances, without any apparent adverse effects.

Based on the above information, the substance does not qualify for classification according to Directive 67/548/EC or Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
