Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Additional information:
During studies in animals exposed whole body to TFE for up to 2 years, clinical observations did not show any signs of skin sensitisation.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
In accordance with section 2 of REACH Annex XI, the study on skin sensitisation need not be conducted as the substance is a gas.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
During studies in animals exposed whole body to TFE for up to 2 years, clinical observations did not show any signs of respiratory sensitisation.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
During studies in animals exposed whole body to TFE for up to 2 years, clinical observations did not show any signs of respiratory sensitisation.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The gaseous nature of TFE precludes the conductance of a skin sensitisation study in animals. Additionally, extensive inhalation studies on TFE by whole body exposure for up to 2 years showed no evidence of skin or respiratory sensitisation. Therefore, classification for skin and respiratory senstisation is not warranted under EU Directive 67/548/EEC and EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
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.
