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.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:
Migrated from Short description of key information:
The Magnusson & Kligman sensitisation test performed with strontium chloride causes no sensitising effects to skin.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Only one study available.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Sensitisation:

The reference Allen (1997) is considered as the key study on skin sensitisation and will be used for classification. The overall sensitisation results are as follows:

The test material, Strontium chloride-6-hydrate extra pure, produced a 0 % (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. According to the criteria specified by Directive 67/548/EEC and subsequent regulations, the test item is not classified as skin sensitiser. According to the EC Regulation No. 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations, the test item is not classified as Category 1.

 

Respiratory sensitisation:

Based on an industry survey, during long-year industrial practice no cases of hypersensitivity were observed till now by workers exposed exclusively to strontium chloride. Thus, no classification as respiratory sensitiser according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 is required.
