Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicological information

Skin sensitisation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1977
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Remarks:
The test performed is rather insensitive, since injection of propylene glycol results in necrosis, which gives a high background level of reaction volume. Positive control data not included in the report. Dose selection not justified.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
10 h light instead of 12 h. The adjuvant was used during the 2nd and 3rd week. Age of the animals unknown. missing initial individual body weights.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
Maurer optimisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A valid in vivo study is available, therefore no LLNA has been performed
