Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
DMDMH was not sensitising to guinea pig skin (not classified)
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

DMDMH is not a skin sensitiser in either a Buehler or M&K Maximisation assay. DMH is also not a skin sensitiser.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
DMDMH readily undergoes hydrolysis to DMH and therefore data is provided for both substances. Both DMDMH and DMH are not skin sensitisers.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Two studies available on DMDMH. Both studies were Klimisch 1 however this study was conducted to the maximisation protocol.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

DMDMH is not a skin sensitiser and therefore is not classified.
