Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Description of key information

DMDMH readily undergoes hydrolysis to DMH and therefore data is provided for both substances. DMDMH gives rise to only slight irritation. DMH gives rise to no more than slight irritation.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

DMDMH is slightly irritating to the skin and eye. DMH is not irritating to the skin but slightly irritating to the eye.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Only one study available on DMDMH. The study is Klimisch 1.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only one study available on DMDMH. The study is Klimisch 1.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The degree of irritancy observed is insufficient to meet the classification criteria and hence DMDMH is not classified for skin or eye irritancy.
