Endpoint conclusion
- Additional information:
- Migrated from Short description of key information:
- In vivo testing of skin sensitation is not required if the substance is to be classified for skin corrosivity or it is a strong base (pH >11.5) ( REACH Regulation 1907/2006 Annex VII). According to the experimental results of an in vitro study for skin corrosion/irritation (Key. SL-LT-062/10. Epiderm Skin Corrosivity/Irritation Test) White liquor is regarded as corrosive to skin. Additionally the pH of the tested White liquor was 12.9.
Justification for classification or non-classification
CLP classification
Classification of white liquor as such for skin sensitisation is not possible due to lack of sufficient human and animal data on the White liquor and/or its components.
Hence, read-across to the chemical safety report for Green liquor (EC 268-612-2) is applied. Green liquor ingredients and chemical properties are much the same as those in White liquor. Green liquor has not been classified as a skin sensitiser based on the available human and animal data.
White liquor does not contain any identified components having a harmonised classification for respiratory sensitisation, but such impact cannot be totally excluded. On this basis, the decision is made not to give a definite classification to White liquor.
DSD/DPD classification
Classification of White liquor as such for skin sensitisation is not possible due to lack of sufficient human and animal data on the White liquor and/or its components.
Hence, read-across to the chemical safety report for Green liquor (EC 268-612-2) is applied. Green liquor ingredients and chemical properties are much the same as those in white liquor. Green liquor has been classified of not being a skin sensitiser based on the available human and animal data.
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.
