Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Additional information:

Equivocal and/or inconsistent results were obtained from several LLNA studies indicating that the test method allows no reliable conclusion on the possible skin sensitizing properties of the test item. In particular a negative result (SI: <3) was observed in a reduced LLNA, a negative result (SI: <3) in combination with a tendency to a dose response relationship was observed in a full LLNA, and a slightly positive result (SI max: 3.46 at mid dose) combined with a missing dose response relationship was observed in another full LLNA.

However in a higher tier study in guinea pigs according to OECD TG No. 406 a clear negative result was achieved. In this study no cutaneous reaction attributable to allergy was recorded in any animal of the treatment group after the challenge phase.

Based on thesedata the LLNA results were considered to be inappropriate for a final conclusion on the possible skin sensitizing properties of the test item. But because a clear negative result was achieved in the higher tier test in guinea pigs the test item was considered not to be a skin sensitizer.

Migrated from Short description of key information:
The test item revealed negative results when tested for its possible skin sensitizing activity in guinea pigs according to OECD TG No. 406.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Higher tier test method

Justification for classification or non-classification

Due to the equivocal results obtained from several LLNA studies preference was given to a higher tier test according to OECD TG No. 406. In this study the test item didn’t cause any sensitizing effects and thus the test item does not have to be classified regarding skin sensitization according to the criteria laid down in Directive 67/548/EEC and in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
