Skin sensitisation

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

In a guinea pig maximization assay (Berol Kemi AB, 1979), 0/10 female Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs exhibited a response 48 h after induction and challenge with 5 % (w/w) and 2 % (w/w) aqueous 2 -EHA solution, respectively. The intracutaneous injections were performed with 1 % (w/w) aqueous 2 -EHA solution.

In summary, there is no evidence of a notable sensitization potential of 2 -EHA.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
A guinea pig maximization assay gave no evidence of contact sensitization.

Justification for classification or non-classification

2 -EHA exhibited no skin sensitising potential. Classification is not warranted according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC and EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
