Additional information:

Skin sensitization 

In different studies, Benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9 ) has been investigated for potential of skin sensitization to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in guinea pig and human for target chemical Benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9).The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox and Danish QSAR has also been compared with the experimental data of target chemical.

The skin sensitization potential of Benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9) was estimatedby SSS (2017) using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the six closest read across substances. Benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9) was predicted to be non sensitizing to the skin of guinea pig.

Another prediction done using the Danish (Q) SAR Database, the skin sensitization was estimated to be negative on guinea pig and human for Benzyl phenylacetate. Using Battery algorithm model of Danish QSAR, Allergic Contact Dermatitis for Benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9) estimated to be not sensitizing when applied to human and guinea pig skin.

It is further supported by experimental study conducted by D. L. J. OPDYKE (Food and Cosmetics Toxicology, 1979) to evaluate the skin sensitizing potential of target substance Benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9) in Human. A maximization test was carried out for benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9) on 25 human volunteers. Benzyl phenylacetate was tested at a 2 % concentration in petrolatum. The test material does not produce any sensitization reaction in any 25 human. Therefore Benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9) was considered to be non sensitizer in human.

 

Thus based on the above predictions and experimental study on Benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9)andapplying weight of evidence, it can be concluded thatBenzyl phenylacetate is not a skin sensitizer. Thus comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, Ethyl Benzyl phenylacetate (102-16-9) can be considered as not classified for skin sensitization.
