Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method B.6 (Skin Sensitisation)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
ASA: in an isotonic phosphate buffer at pH7. The volume injected in each case was 0.1 ml. The 5 injections were administered on Days 0, 2, 5, 8 and 12.On Day 16, the contact solution was applied. Each time, we used a mixture of acetone-almond oil in a 1:1 ratio (V:V).
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
ASA is not sensitizing in a guinea pig test comparable to maximisation.
Executive summary:

ASA tested at high doses ( induction at 200 and 100 mg/ml intracutaneous) in guinea pigs, with a normal amount ( 0.01%) od the sensitising impurity ASAN, was totally negative in ths assay.
