Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on:
not specified
Exp. duration:

Remarks on result:
other: equivalent to 5.3 mg/l as a mist
Mortality:
2/5 female rats died by the 2nd day post-exposure, and 2/5 male rats died by the 5th day post-exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information The criteria for classification as Acute Toxicity Category 4 is ≤ 5.0 mg/L. Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
N-Dodecenyl succinic anhydride (nDDSA), as an aerosol, was tested in a four hour acute inhalation toxicity assay in rats. The LD50 was > 5.3 mg/L. This data suggests that nDDSA is not classified according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008
