Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
high hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - workers

The result of the local lymph node assay of Weber (2004) the stimulation index of 11.2 after exposure to 1% indicates that Maleic acid is a skin sensitizer. Dermal contact therefore has to be excluded completely.

Beyond this, dermal contact may facilitate or even induce the development of a respiratory sensitization.

A quantitative dermal DNEL has not been derived, since such a value does not aid in a relevant risk assessment for dermal exposure. A qualitative assessment has been performed, using the experience of control measures in practice and no cases of sensitization among the employees. No difference will be made between short term and long term exposure as sensitization may also develop after several short term exposures as well
