Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

In both available studies (Buehler and GMPT) no induction of contact hypersensitivity was observed, none of the 20 animals tested in each study showed a positive reaction. Hence, phenoxypropanol is not considered to be a skin sensitzer.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
Two GLP-studies according to OECD guideline 406 (Buehler and Maximization test) are available for phenoxyproppanol.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Based on the clearly negative results of the two skin sensitization studies phenoxypropanol is not expected to be a respiratory sensitizer.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
No data on respiratory sensitization is available for phenoxypropanol.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No sensitization reaction was observed with phenoxypropanol. In both the Maximization test (0/20) and the Buehler test (0/20) the sensitization rate was 0%. According to EU criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances as laid down in Annex VI of the EEC Council Directive 671548lEEC (amended by Directive 83/467/EEC) and according to GHS/CLP, phenoxypropanol is not classified as a sensitiser.
