Additional information

SPC resin is a complex substance (UVCB) which can be regarded as a mixture of the monomers phenol, diphenyl carbonate (DPC), and 4,4’-isopropylidenediphenol (BPA) and their condensation products in which the monomers play the decisive role for human health. All three monomers are systemically available in laboratory animals after oral, dermal or inhalative exposure. They are toxicologically well investigated, show a comprehensive toxicological data base and have all been assessed in authority based peer review processes. Therefore, in line with Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, read-across was chosen for the registration of SPC resin and no animal study has been performed with SPC resin itself. However, to substantiate the read-across hypothesis toxicological in vitro studies with SPC resin have been performed; based on the results of these in vitro studies the read-across approach is supported (for details see attached document ‘Justification for Read-Across and Human Health Classification’ in section 13 of the IUCLID data set).
