Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Signs of irritation during induction:
Intradermal Induction:

Grade 1-2 erythema was noted at the intradermal induction
sites of all test group animals 24 and 48 hours after
dosing. Grade 1 erythema was noted at the intradermal
induction sites of three control group aniamls 24 and 48
hours after dosing.


Topical Induction:

Yellow/brown-coloured staining of the skin was noted at the
topical induction sites of all test group animals but did
not affect the evaluation of erythema and oedema.


Grade 2-3 erythema and Grade 2 oedema were noted at the
topical induction sites of all test group animals one hour
after dressing removal. Grade 2 erythema and oedema were
noted at the induction sites of four test group animals 24
hours after dressing removal. Other adverse reactions noted
were bleeding from the intradermal injection site, dried
blood and small superficial scabs. A hardened dark
brown/black-coloured scab, preventing accurate evaluation of
erythema and oedema, was noted in six test group animals 24
hours after dressing removal.


Grade 1 erythema was noted at the topical induction sites of
four control group animals one hour after dressing removal
persisting in two animals 24 hours after dressing removal.
Other adverse reactions noted were bleeding from the
intradermal injection site and dried blood.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
Number of animals showing evidence of sensitisation at each
challenge concentration: 10/10.


50% w/w in Arachis Oil BP:

Positive skin responses (Grades 1-2 erythema and oedema)
were noted at the challenge sites of all test group animals
24 and 48 hours after dressing removal. Other adverse
reactions noted were desquamation and small superficial
scattered scabs. No skin reactions were noted at the
challenge sites of control group animals.


25% w/w in Arachis oil BP:

Positive skin responses (Grades 1-2 erythema and oedema)
were noted at the challenge sites of all test group animals
24 and 48 hours after dressing removal. Other adverse
reactions noted were desquamation and small superficial
scabs. No skin reactions were noted at the challenge sites
of control group animals.

Other observations:
Bodyweight gains of animals in the test group, between day 0
and day 24, were comparable to those in the control group.
