- Type of information:
- other: EU Risk Assessment report
- Adequacy of study:
- other information
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

- Remarks:
- Although the EU risk assessment report is secondary literature, all data and risk assessment for the human, health and the environment have been evaluated and reviewed by Finland prior to publication. The risk assessment report has been submitted to final approval and published in the Official Journal of the European Union C157/10 dated on 21.06.2008. Thus, it is considered the information reported are reliable with the restrictions that reliability of the data presented has not been assessed again.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, EPTAC is classified as skin sensitiser according to the criteria of the Annex VI to the CLP Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 and to the criteria of the Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC.
- Executive summary:
In a dermal sensitization study, equivalent to a OECD 406 guideline, EPTAC was tested in guinea-pigs using the Maximisation Test method (20 animals treated and 20 controls).
EPTAC diluted at 5% in vaseline was administered by intradermal injection. Topical induction was performed with EPTAC diluted at 5% in vaseline. EPTAC was tested at 2.5% for the challenge.
In the topical induction phase, there was slight erythema noted after 24 hours.
Dermal reactions were observed in 14 of the 20 guinea-pigs treated and no reactions have been observed in the control animals.More than 30% of the animal tested showed positive reactions.
Therefore, under the test conditions, EPTAC is classified as a skin sensitizer according to the criteria of the Annex VI to the CLP Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008 and to the criteria of the Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC.
