Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

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.

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Derek for Windows - Skin Sensitisation
Derek Nexus 6.0 was released on 12 December 2017
QMRF for this informatic tool is not available. However, this informatic tool is widely used and reported in ECHA Practical Guide - How to use and report (Q)SARs, Version 3.1 (July 2016).
Data from several toxicity assays (e.g. LLNA, GPMT, HRIPT) and mechanistic studies (e.g. DPRA) are synthesised to arrive at an expert conclusion of whether compounds within the model training set is likely to be a skin sensitiser.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The query structure does not match any structural alerts or examples for skin sensitisation in Derek.
Additionally, the query structure does not contain any unclassified or misclassified features and is consequently predicted to be a non-sensitiser.
