Description of key information

As the substance is a reaction mass consisting of Cyclohexanol and Cyclohexanone, data for both substances have been taken into accout.

No data on the actual reaction mass is available.

Cyclohexanone:

A guinea pig maximization test with pure Cyclohexanone showed negative results (Bruze et al.). A mouse ear swelling test, a guinea pig maximization test and a Buehler test (Gad et al., 1986) showed no skin sensitizing properties for Cyclohexanone.

Cyclohexanol:

In a dermal sensitisation GLP-compliant study according to OECD Guideline 406 with guinea pigs the test substance was not sensitising.

Additional information:

Cyclohexanol:

In a dermal sensitisation GLP study with cyclohexanol (98.8%) in olive oil (BASF 1990), adult female Pirbright White, Dunkin Hartley HOE DHPK [SPF-LAC] BO guinea pigs were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligman (Guinea Pig Maximization Test - GPMT) according to the OECD TG 406. Two control groups were employed in the main study, each comprising of 10 animals. 20 guinea pigs were used in the test group. At intradermal induction, injection of 5% cyclohexanol in olive-oil DAB 9 caused distinct erythema and oedema in all 20 test animals at the 24h observation time point. Necrotic skin changes in addition to distinct oedema could be observed at the injection sites of 5% cyclohexanol in Freund's adjuvant / 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1:1) in all 20 test animals. The control animals injected with olive oil DAB 9 (vehicle) showed only distinct erythema. After percutaneous induction with the minimal irritating concentration (50% cyclohexanol in olive-oil DAB 9), necrotic skin changes (caused by the intradermal induction) accompanied by distinct oedema were observed in all test animals at the 48h observation time point. All animals of control group 1 and 2 which received olive oil DAB 9 (vehicle) exhibited incrustation, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction) in addition to distinct erythema and oedema. After first challenge with the maximal non-irritating concentration (25% cyclohexanol in olive-oil DAB 9) as well as with olive oil DAB 9 (vehicle), slight to distinct erythema were recorded in the controls as well as the test group after 24 hours. These skin irritation effects however, were no longer present at the 48h and 72h observation time points. A similar trend was also noticed after the second challenge where slight to distinct erythema seen after 24h in test and control animals, rechallenged with 25% cyclohexanol in olive-oil DAB 9 and olive oil DAB 9 (vehicle), were no longer present at the 48h and 72h observation time points. Hence, no animal, neither in the control groups nor in the test group showed positive reactions after the first challenge (20 days after intradermal induction) or after the rechallenge (7 days after challenge). This study is considered to be relevant, adequate, and reliable for the purposes of classification and risk assessment.

Cyclohexanone:

Bruze et al. conducted a GPMT with pure Cyclohexanone which showed negative results. A mouse ear swelling test, a guinea pig maximization test and a Buehler test (Gad et al., 1986) showed no skin sensitizing properties for Cyclohexanone.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. No sensitising properties were observed in any of the tests available. Therefore, the substance does not need require classifcation as a skin sensitizer under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
