Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

The maximization test perfomed with bis(2,3 -epoxypropyl)terephthalate showed a significant potential to cause skin sensitisation.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
A Magnusson & Kligman test was performed in Guinea Pig. 95% of the test animals were sensitised.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Additional information:
Migrated from Short description of key information:
No data available

Justification for classification or non-classification

- skin sensitisation:

Based on the above stated assessment of the skin sensitisation potential of bis (2,3-epoxypropyl) terephthalate (95% of the animals sensitized in Magnuson & Kligman test) the substance needs to be classified as R43 (May cause sensitisation by skin contact)according to Council Directive 2001/59/EC (28th ATP of Directive 67/548/EEC) and accordingCLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Of The European Parliament And Of The Council)as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.

- respiratory sensitisation:

As no data on respiratory sensitization is available for bis(2,3 -epoxypropyl) terephthalate a classification is not possible according to Council Directive 2001/59/EC (28th ATP of Directive 67/548/EEC) and accordingCLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Of The European Parliament And Of The Council)as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
