Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on available data for groups of Crude Tall Oil constituents, for Tall Oil, polymd., oxidized a conservative 2-year NOAEL of >200 mg/kg/d is set for the oral route (see read across justification report)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route - systemic effects

Executive summary:

No relevant repeated dose toxicitystudies have been conducted for Crude Tall Oil (CTO) as whole product. However, data are available for the constituent parts of CTO and related substances (unpublished laboratory studies and information published in the public domain). The available data are summarised in the table below:

   Constituent type    Proportion in CTO (%)    NOAEL (mg/kg/day, rat)    Duration   Remarks

 Fatty acids

 47.5 > = 12,500  90 days   
 Resin acids and neutrals  37.9  > 200 2 years  Weight of evidence from a number of 90-day and 2-year studies 
 Sterols  3.0  > = 4,100  90 days  
 DTO (distilled tall oil)  -  423  28 days  OECD 422 study

These data are sufficient to demonstrate that none of the constituents of CTO require classification for specific target organ toxicity following repeated oral exposure, and to allow quantitative Derived No Effect Level to be set for risk characterisation.

Additional information

No relevant repeated dose toxicity studies have been conducted for Crude Tall Oil (CTO) as whole product. However, data are available for the constituent parts of CTO and related substances (unpublished laboratory studies and information published in the public domain). The available data are summarised in the table below:

   Constituent type    Proportion in CTO (%)    NOAEL (mg/kg/day, rat)    Duration   Remarks

 Fatty acids

 47.5 > = 12,500  90 days   
 Resin acids and neutrals  37.9  > 200 2 years  Weight of evidence from a number of 90-day and 2-year studies 
 Sterols  3.0  > = 4,100  90 days  
 DTO (distilled tall oil)  -  423  28 days  OECD 422 study

These data are sufficient to demonstrate that none of the constituents of CTO require classification for specific target organ toxicity following repeated oral exposure, and to allow quantitative Derived No Effect Level to be set for risk characterisation.

The available data for constituents of CTO indicate that classification for specific target organ toxicity is not required.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of the studies on CTO constituents, the classification for specific target organ toxicity is not required for Tall oil, polymerized, oxidized (see read across justification report).
