Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Skin sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
A reliable Guinea Pig Maximisation Test (GPMT) test was conducted in compliance with OECD Guideline 406 on Diuron. Female guinea-pigs were intradermally and epicutaneo
usly induced before being challenged with a 50% Diuron solution in saline. No skin reaction on the basis of erythema and oedema (sensitization rate 0%) was observed. A 50% solution of Diuron did not provoke skin sensitization (Sharp 1997).
A skin sensitisation study was performed according to the Magnusson-Kligman method using Freund’s complete adjuvant technique to evaluate the sensitisation potential of test item Diuron Technical.
The mean of the scores were 0.10 and 0.00 according to the 24th and 48th hour observations. In the control group the mean of the scores were 0.10 and 0.00.Since the reactions in the test group did not markedly exceed in the control group, no evidence of delayed contact hypersensitivity was found in this assay
Migrated from Short description of key information:
All the available studies on Diuron showed that the substance is not a skin sensitiser.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on sensitisation is conclusive but not sufficient for classification according to directives DSD (67/548/EEC) or CLP (1272/2008/EC).
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.
