Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

in literature, some data on skin sensitisation is present.

However, as the substance is classified as skin corrosive, cat. 1, no study is performed.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Title: Acute Toxicity Studies with l,12-Dodecanediamine (DDA)

Year Study Completed: These studies were conducted in 1987-1988.

Author(s): William J. Brock

Affiliation/Address: Haskell Laboratory for Toxicology and Industrial Medicine,

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, P. O. Box 50, Elkton Road, Newark, DE 19714

Dermal Sensitization: Ten Duncan-Hartley guinea pigs were injected (0.1 mL) ID

with a 1% solution of DDA in saline once a week for 4 weeks. Two weeks after

the last injection, the animals were challenged by topical application with 0.4%

and 4% DDA. Dermal responses were scored (1) at 24 and 48 hours after

challenge. DDA produced a sensitization response in 7/10 animals at a

concentration of 4%. No sensitization response was observed at 0.4%.

Assessment of literature data:

For the challenge dose with 4% DDA a pH of ca. 11.9 can be assumed based on general formula on acid-base-chemistry.

Therefore it can be assumed that topical application can also lead to irritation based on the basic nature of the solution.

As there are no results for control animals reported and the lower challenge dose did not result in any reported effects,

the reported effects cannot be related to sensitive properties clearly.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is classified as skin corrosive and the cited study information on skin sensitisation is not conclusive.

Based on the corrosivity, it is concluded that the information is conclusive but not sufficient for classifiaction as skin sensitisation.
