Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
The barium hexaferrite was tested for its skin sensitisation potential by means of a guinea pig maximization test (GMPT) as modified by Maurer & Hess. The test method is similar to the conventional GMPT and the necessary modification did not affect the reliability of the study. The study results indicate that the substance is not a skin sensitizer.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Additional information:
Though no specific information is available at the present,both the acute inhalation toxicity test and the long-term inhalation toxicity test do not document any sensitizing effect.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
At the present, no specific information is available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Directive 67/548/EEC and to Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008, the study results indicate that the substance should not be classified as skin sensitizer.
According to Directive 67/548/EEC and to Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008, the substance is not classified as respiratory sensitizer because of data lacking.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
