Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on evidence from other substances of the same read-across category,‘glycerides, C16-22 (SDA Reporting Number: 21-001-00)’are not expected to show reproductive/developmental toxicity after oral exposure. No reproductive toxicity is expected from dermal exposure as systemic uptake will be lower than from the oral route.Due to its physical state (solid) and low vapour pressure (< 1.33 x 10-8Pa at 20°C), the possibility of inhalation exposure will be extremely limited. In many cases the substance is used in industrial applications and transported and handled in liquid form (heated). If the substance is handled in powder form, sprayed or otherwise finely dispersed in the air, the use of respiratory protection (filter mask) is recommended at workplace.Thus, the reproductive toxicity as a result of respiratory exposure is considered unlikely.

Further, ‘glycerides, C16-22 (SDA Reporting Number: 21-001-00)’ and other substances of the same read-across categoryhave 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 existing information, the substance does not require reproductive toxicity classification for reproductive or developmental toxicity according to Directive 67/548/EC or Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
