Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a reliable study a member of the category of Montan waxes (an extract of Montan wax, type E (25-100%)) was not sensitising in a Local Lymph Node Assay in mice under the conditions of this study (extracted in acetone:olive oil (4:1) for 72 h at 37 °C).
Executive summary:

The study used as source investigated the skin sensitising potential of a member from the category of Montan waxes.

The study results of the source compounds were considered applicable to the target compound and were used for classification and labelling acc. to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008. Justification and applicability of the read-across approach (category approach) is outlined in the read-across report in
