Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Additional information:
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the allergic contact sensitization potential of Ethylene Glycol in guinea pigs according to procedures described by Magnusson and Kligman. Animals challenged with Ethylene Glycol exhibited no dermal response at challenge to a non-irritating (100%) concentration, as confirmed by a lack of dermal response in irritation control animals and no dermal reactions recorded for test animals. Under conditions of these studies, Ethylene Glycol exhibited no potential to produce dermal sensitization in the guinea pig.
A study was conducted to evaluate the allergic contact sensitization potential of diethylene Glycol in guinea pigs according to procedures described by Magnusson and Kligman. Animals challenged with diethylene Glycol exhibited no dermal response at challenge to a non-irritating (50%) concentration, as confirmed by a lack of dermal response in irritation control animals and no dermal reactions recorded for test animals. Under conditions of these studies, diethylene Glycol exhibited no potential to produce dermal sensitization in the guinea pig.
As both sodium and acetate and found endogenously, it can be reliably assumed that they are not sensitising.
Justification for classification or non-classification
None of the components of this multi-constituent substance show any evidence of sensitising properties and therefore it can be reliably assumed that the substance itself will not have sensitising properties
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
