Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Both 4-week and 13 week inhalation toxicity studies have been conducted with 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a). Exposures were conducted 6-hrs/day, 5 days/wk at levels upto 138000 mg/m3 (40000 ppm). This represents 50% of the lower flamability limit. No adverse effectss were seen even at 138000 mg/m3. Since this substance is a gas at room temperature, all toxicology studies were conducted by the inhalation route.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation - systemic effects
Endpoint conclusion
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEC
- 138 000 mg/m³
Additional information
In accordance with section 2 REACH Annex XI, studies via the oral and dermal route do not have to be conducted since the substance is a gas.
Both 4-week and 13 week OECD guideline inhalation toxicity studies have been conducted with 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a). Exposures were conducted 6-hrs/day, 5 days/wk at levels upto 138000 mg/m3 (40000 ppm). This represents 50% of the lower flamability limit. No adverse effects were seen even at 138000 mg/m3. Since this substance is a gas at room temperature, all toxicology studies were conducted by the inhalation route.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on a NOEL of 138,000 mg/m3 in air in a 13 week inhalation toxicology study in rats, classification of 1,1,1 -trifluoroethane (HFC-143a) is not warrented according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
