- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- DMDMH was not sensitising to guinea pig skin (not classified)
Reference
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
DMDMH is not a skin sensitiser in either a Buehler or M&K Maximisation assay. DMH is also not a skin sensitiser.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
DMDMH readily undergoes hydrolysis to DMH and therefore data is provided for both substances. Both DMDMH and DMH are not skin sensitisers.
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Two studies available on DMDMH. Both studies were Klimisch 1 however this study was conducted to the maximisation protocol.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
DMDMH is not a skin sensitiser and therefore is not classified.
