Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

In vivo test to assess the repeated dose toxicity of Chlorphenesin was performed in 1990 before the implementation of the Regulation (EC n.1223/2009). Chlorphensin was tested for repeated oral toxicity during an administration period of 28 days by oral gavage at dosage levels of 1000, 100 and 10 mg/kg bw/day. Some relevant effects that caused the sacrifice on humane grounds of 1 of 32 animals (16 males and 16 females) were recorded at the highest dose 1000 mg/kg bw/day. There is no data in the range 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day but no specific target organ was identified at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The NOAEL Chlorphenesin (repeated oral toxicity rat 28 days) = 100 mg/kg bw /day.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Chlorphenesin is not classified for repeated dose toxicity according to the CLP Regulation (EC.n.1272/2008). For justification see the results of available studies.
