Description of key information

There is no data available for the skin and eye irritation/corrosion potential of Dipentaerythritol hexaesters of 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic and n-heptanoic acids (CAS 1379424 -11 -9). In order to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII, 8.5, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, read-across from a structurally related substance was conducted.

The substance EC 444 -000-2 consists of dipentaerythritol hexaesters with fatty acids n-pentanoic and 3,5,5 -trimethylhexanoic acid and it is considered to be similar to the target substance, on the basis of the structural and similar properties and/or activties.

The available data on irritation/corrosion potential for the source substance (OECD 404 and OECD 405 , non skin irritating and non eye irritating) is used to predict the same behaviour for the target substance Dipentaerythritol hexaesters of 3,5,5 -trimethylhexanoic and n-heptanoic acids (CAS 1379424 -11 -9).

Adequacy of study:

Justification for type of information:
There are no data available on the skin and eye irritation potential of the substance Dipentaerythritol hexaesters of 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic and n-heptanoic acids (CAS 1379424 -11 -9). In order to fulfill the standard information requirements set out in Annex VII, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, a read-across from a structurally related substance was conducted. In accordance with Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, "information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI are met. In particular for human toxicity, information shall be generated whenever possible by means other than vertebrate animal tests", which includes the use of information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across). Having regard to the general rules for grouping and read-across approach laid down in Annex XI, Item 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, whereby toxicological properties may be predicted from data for the reference substance(s) on the basis of structural similarity, the substance Dipentaerythritol with fatty acids C5 and C9 iso (formerly identified as CAS 647028-25-9) is selected as reference substance for assessment of toxicological endpoints, for which information gaps are identified.
The source and target substances are considered to be similar on the basis of structural similariy resulting in similar properties and/or activities. The available endpoint information is used to predict the same endpoints for Dipentaerythritol hexaesters of 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic and n-heptanoic acids (CAS 1379424 -11 -9). A detailed analogue approach justification is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on read-across from a structurally similar substance, the available data on skin/eye irritation potential do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
