Description of key information
The toxicity to reproduction of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, compound with 2-aminoethanol (1:1) via the oral route is expected to be driven by the toxicity to reproduction of its constituents, namely 2-ethylhexanoic acid and 2-aminoethanol.
An assessment was undertaken based on available data on the individual constituents of the substance and 2-ethylhexanoic acid was identified as the most hazardous constituent in regards to the toxicity to reproduction. A classification as Repr. 1B; H360d (May damage the unborn child) for 2- ethylhexanoic acid and its salts was adopted on 16.02.2022 as reported in the 18th "Adaptation to Technical Progress (ATP)" document C(2022) 846.
It is concluded that 2-ethylhexanoic acid, compound with 2-aminoethanol (1:1) should be classified as Repr. 1B; H360d.
