Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Skin sensitisation. Key study (001). Test method according to 92/69/EWG, B.6 and OECD 406 Guidelines. GLP study.

Skin sensitisation. Key study (002). Test method according to 92/69/EWG, B.6. GLP study.

Data waiving (study scientifically not necessary / other information available): data from an in vivo study

was available. Therefore, an in vitro study was not deemed necessary.

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 20 %.

Signs of irritation during induction:

  • Erythema (24 h) and necrosis (24 and 48 h)after injection.
  • Erythema in 2 treated animals (day 10).

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:

No evidence of sensitization.

Other observations:

None

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance was not classified as a sensitisation agent.
Executive summary:

A skin sensitization test was performed according to OECD guideline 406 and 92/69/EWG, B.6 Guideline under GLP conditions.

 

Himalayan guinea pigs were administered with test substance using CMC as a vehicle (20% test substance in 1% aqueous CMC for test subjects and 5% test substance in 1% aqueous CMC for the challenge group). Readings were performed 24 and 48h after injection.

 

The results provided evidence that the test substance did not cause any irritating effects hence, the test substance is not classified as a skin sensitizer agent.

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 5 %.

Signs of irritation during induction:

  • Intradermal: 10/10 (Erythema 1/10, value 2); necrosis 9/10, diameter 2mm (7) or 3 (2) mm
  • Epidermal: 2/10 (Erythema, value 2)

Evidence of sensitisation of each challengue concentration: 0/10

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:

No evidence of sensitization.

Other observations:

None

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance was classified as a not sensitizing agent.
Executive summary:

A skin sensitization test was performed according to 92/69/EWG, B.6 Guideline under GLP conditions.

 

Himalayan guinea pigs were administered intradermally and epidermally with test substance, using CMC as a vehicle (0.2% test substance in 1% aqueous CMC for intradermal and 20% test substance in 1% aqueous CMC for epidermal). Readings were performed at 24 and 48h after injection.

 

The results provided evidence that the test substance can be classified as a non-sensitizer agent.

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vitro
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
an in vitro skin sensitisation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin sensitisation study are available
Justification for type of information:
A skin sensitisation in vivo was already available.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Skin sensitization. Key study (001). Test method according to 92/69/EWG, B.6 and OECD 406 Guidelines. GLP study. Himalayan guinea pigs were administered with test substance using CMC as a vehicle (20% test substance in 1% aqueous CMC for test subjects and 5% test substance in 1% aqueous CMC for the challenge group). Readings were performed 24 and 48h after injection. The results provided evidence that the test substance did not cause any irritating effects hence, the test substance is not classified as a skin sensitizer agent.

Skin sensitization. Key study (002). Test method according to 92/69/EWG, B.6., comparable to guideline but with acceptable restrictions. GLP study. Himalayan guinea pigs were administered intradermally and epidermally with test substance, using CMC as a vehicle (0.2% test substance in 1% aqueous CMC for intradermal and 20% test substance in 1% aqueous CMC for epidermal). Readings were performed 24 and 48h after injection. The results provided evidence that the test substance can be classified as a non-sensitizer agent.


Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:

No selection was done, both studies were negative.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on all the available information, test substance is not classified for skin sensitization.
