6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | [Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data. [Reference Data, etc.] (1) It was reported that, in a 2-year chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study using wood rosin (CAS RN -) as a test substance with rats dosed by feeding, no increase in the incidence of tumors was observed at up to 1% (10,000 ppm: corresponding to 434 mg/kg/day) (JECFA FAS 35 (1996), EPA (2005), Canada CMP Screening Assessment (2019)), but the study did not meet the requirements for carcinogenicity test, such as the small number of cases (25 to 30 animals/sex/group). |

7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H361 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) and (2), it was classified in Category 2 since reproduction/developmental effects were observed at doses at which general toxicity effects were observed in parental animals. It was classified based on the new information source. [Evidence Data] (1) In two combined repeated dose toxicity studies with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD TG422, GLP) with rats dosed by feeding, at the highest concentration level (10,000 ppm) at which apparent general toxicity effects (lower body weight and food consumption, etc.) were observed in male and female parental animals, decreases in the number of corpora lutea and the number of implantations in female parental animals, and reduced litter size, an increase in postnatal death, and lower body weight in pups were observed. It was reported that the NOAELs for maternal toxicity and developmental toxicity were concluded to be 2,500 ppm and 5,000 ppm, respectively (REACH registration dossier (Accessed Sep. 2021)). (2) In a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD TG422, GLP) with other rats dosed by feeding, at the highest concentration level (10,000 ppm) at which apparent general toxicity effects (lower body weight and food consumption, etc.) were observed in male and female parental animals, a slight decrease in the number of corpora lutea in female parental animals and lower body weight in pups were observed. It was reported that the NOAELs for maternal toxicity and developmental toxicity were concluded to be 5,000 ppm and 10,000 ppm, respectively (REACH registration dossier (Accessed Sep. 2021)). (3) In a reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD TG421, GLP) with rats dosed by feeding, at 10,000 ppm at which reduced body weight gain and decreased food consumption were observed in male and female parental animals, a decrease in the number of implantations in female parental animals and a slight reduction in litter size in pups were observed. It was reported that the NOAELs for maternal toxicity and developmental toxicity were concluded to be 3,000 ppm, respectively (REACH registration dossier (Accessed Sep. 2021), AICIS IMAP (2013)). (4) In a prenatal developmental toxicity study (OECD TG414, GLP, days 3 to 19 of gestation) with female rats dosed by feeding, at the highest dose (7,500 ppm) at which reduced body weight gain and decreased food consumption were observed in parental animals, a decrease in placental weight and lower fetal weight were observed. It was reported that the NOAELs for maternal toxicity and developmental toxicity were concluded to be 2,500 ppm and 5,000 ppm, respectively (REACH registration dossier (Accessed Oct. 2021), Canada CMP Screening Assessment (2019)). |

8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation) |
Warning |
H335 | P304+P340 P403+P233 P261 P271 P312 P405 P501 |
[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), it was classified in Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) since it was reported to be irritating to the respiratory organs. Also, based on the new findings, the classification result was changed. [Evidence Data] (1) A study on workers' exposures in a factory manufacturing flux-cored solder containing rosin was conducted. As a result of pulmonary function measurements, there was a 21% prevalence of occupational asthma in the workers exposed to rosin at median values of 0.02 mg/m3 (6 workers) and 1.92 mg/m3 (14 workers). But there was only a 4% prevalence of occupational asthma in the workers exposed to less than 0.01 mg/m3, and it was reported to be irritating to the respiratory organs (ACGIH (2020)). [Reference Data, etc.] (2) It was reported that, in an acute dermal toxicity test (OECD TG 402, GLP, 24 hours) with rats, slight to moderate skin dryness was observed at 2,000 mg/kg (within the range for Category 2) (AICIS IMAP (2013), REACH registration dossier (Accessed Oct. 2021)). (3) It was reported that, in an acute oral toxicity test with rats, no effects were observed. Also, the LD50 was reported to be 2,800 mg/kg (REACH registration dossier (Accessed Oct. 2021)). |

9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | [Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) to (3), it was classified as "Not classified" in the oral route. However, classification was not possible due to lack of data in the other routes. Besides, the adrenal gland was not adopted as a target organ since the effects in (1) were not observed in the tests at higher doses in (2) and (3). [Evidence Data] (1) It was reported that, in a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD TG422, GLP, for 50 days from day 14 of pre-pairing (males), minimum 5 weeks from day 14 of pre-pairing until day 4 of lactation (females)) with rats dosed by feeding, a slightly lower body weight gain, an increase in creatinine, and hypertrophy/vacuolation of the zona glomerulosa in the adrenal glands (males) were observed at 2,500 ppm (converted guidance value: 69.4 mg/kg/day, within the range for Category 2) (REACH registration dossier (Accessed Oct. 2021)). (2) It was reported that, in a reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD TG421, GLP, for 30 days from day 14 of pre-mating (males), for up to 45 days from day 14 of pre-mating (females)) with rats dosed by feeding, a decrease in body weight gain (males) was observed at 3,000 ppm (converted guidance value: 50 mg/kg/day, within the range for Category 2) (REACH registration dossier (Accessed Oct. 2021)). (3) It was reported that, in a 2-year combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study with rats dosed by feeding, a decrease in body weight gain, lower food consumption, and increased liver weight (females) were observed at 10,000 ppm (440 mg/kg/day, in the range corresponding to "Not classified") (JECFA FAS 35 (1996), EPA (2005), Canada CMP (2019)). |
