Justification for classification or non-classification

The skin sensitization potential of ‘fatty acids, palm-oil, hydrogenated’ can be based on information available for its individual constituents. Studies conducted on glycerides and fatty acids suggest that these are not likely to cause sensitization in animals or humans.

Exposure via the inhalation route is not expected given the low vapor pressure of the substance and the risk management measures implemented where necessaryif the substance is handled in aerosolized or spray form.

Based on the above information, ‘fatty acids, palm-oil, hydrogenated’ is not considered to require classification for sensitization according to Directive 67/548 EC or Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
