Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test material was considered to be a non-sensitiser under the conditions of the test.
The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitizer according to EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC. No symbol and risk phrase are required.

Executive summary:

2,4,7,9-tetramethyldecane-4,7-diol was considered to be a non-sensitizer under the conditions of the test. A study was performed to assess the skin sensitization potential of the test material in the CBA/Ca strain mouse following topical application to the dorsal surface of the ear. The method was designed to meet the requirements of OECD Guideline 429. Following a preliminary screening test, three groups, each of five animals, were treated with 50 ml (25ml per ear) of the test material as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at concentrations of 10%, 25%, and 50% v/v. A further group of five animals were treated with acetone/olive oil 4:1 alone. The Stimulation Index (SI) expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for each treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group are as follows: Concentration (% v/v) in Acetone/olive oil 4:1 Stimulation Index (SI) Result 10 1.19 Negative 25 2.16 Negative 50 2.51 Negative 2,4,7,9-tetramethyldecane-4,7-diol did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitizer according to EU labeling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC. No symbol and risk phrase are required.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Additional information:

There is no information available for respiratory sensitisation. Therefore, there is a data gap in this respect. However, the data gap cannot be fulfilled with experimental data, since there is no internationally accepted animal model for respiratory sensitisation. In case human data for respiratory sensitisation emerges, this will be taken into account.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) Part 3 Chapter 3.4 this substance is not causing concern to be sensitizing.
