Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Because decamethylenediamine is a strong base (pH = 12) the substance is classified into Skin Corr. Category 1B (H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage) and Eye Damage 1 (H318: Causes serious eye damage) according to EC Regulation 1272/2008.
Assessment of decamethylenediamine concerning respiratory irritation is also not possible because no data are available for this toxicological endpoint.

Additional information
According to REACH Annex VIII 8.1.1. column 2 an in vivo skin irritation study does not need to be conducted if the substance is classified as corrosive to the skin.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
According to REACH Annex VIII 8.2.1. column 2 an in vivo eye irritation study does not need to be conducted if the substance is classified as corrosive to the skin.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the chemical structure (aliphatic diamine) and due to the fact that decamethylenediamine is a strong base (pH = 12) the substance is classified into Skin Corr. Category 1B (H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage) and Eye Damage 1 (H318: Causes serious eye damage) according to EC Regulation 1272/2008.
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).
