Skin sensitisation
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- 2,2',6,6'-Tetrabromo-4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, oligomeric reaction products with Propylene oxide and n-butyl glycidyl ether (= N 8424-2) obtained from a solvent-based manufacturing process is not isolated throughout the process. The solvent-free N 8424-2 is a solid which would significantly complicate the manufacturing process. Beyond that N 8424-2 is not marketed as such. At the end of the process a blend of 53 weight-% N 8424-2 and 47 weight-% of a corresponding PO adduct of the alkylene oxide reactive solvent are dissolved in Tris(chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP) to facilitate handling of the substance by downstream users and to improve the flame-retardant action. 70% of the blend (N 8424-2 and corresponding PO adduct of the alkylene oxide reactive solvent) and 30% TCPP represent the commercial product for which a base set of toxicological information was already available. Further, analysis of the toxicity profile of the solvents in the commercial product demonstrates that the available studies with the commercial product, which contains 37% N 8424-2 (0.7 x 53%), is sufficient for an adequate hazard characterisation of N 8424-2.

- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- not sensitising
- Executive summary:
In the Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) on 15 female/male guinea pigs (10 for the test item group, 5 control animals) according to OECD TG 406 the test item was shown to exhibit no skin sensitization potential. 0.1% test item in corn oil and the undiluted test material was used for intradermal induction and topical induction/challenge. None of the 20 test animals showed any positive response either 24 or 48 hours after removal of the challenge patches.
