In its opinion SCHER agrees with the conclusion of the alternatives' risk assessments that there is sufficient information from the structures, physical-chemical properties, toxicokinetics and mutagenic profiles of TCEP, TDCP and TCPP to support a qualitative read-across, indicating a potential concern for carcinogenicity for TCPP by a non-genotoxic mechanism. The read-across implies, according to SCHER, that considerations given for TCEP could be applied to its halogenated alternatives as well, if used in toy manufacturing
