Description of key information

The potential of RC9927 (bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate) to cause delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs was assessed by a modified version of the method of Buehler. No adverse effects was observed (non sensitising).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Clinical observations:
erythematous responses
Remarks on result:
positive indication of skin sensitisation

There was no dermal response to occluded application of RC9927 to test group animals at any of the three phases of induction.

There was no significant dermal response to challenge application of the undiluted testmaterial in test or control group animals.

Challenge application of dinitrochlorobenzene elicited significant erythematous responses in eight of the nine surviving positive control guinea-pigs. No significant dermal reaction was observed in the vehicle control group.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, RC9927 (bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate) was negative in the Bühler assay.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate was negative in the Bühler test.

According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification is not justified.
