Australia's National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) assessed diisononyl phthalate (DINP) as a priority existing chemical.
The purpose of the assessment was to determine the health risks to adults and children from the use of DINP in consumer products, such as cosmetics, toys and child-care articles, particularly from repeated or prolonged exposure.
NICNAS determined that there is no health concern from exposure of children to DINP in toys and child-care articles, even at the highest (reasonable worst-case) exposure scenario considered.
Additionally, NICNAS determined that the risks from cumulative exposure of children to DINP in toys and child-care articles, with or without DEHP at maximum 1%, together with co-exposure to DEP in cosmetics at maximum 0.5% in body lotions, have been considered and found to be acceptable based on current public health risk management measures.
