Administrative data

Description of key information

Migrated from Short description of key information:
There are no valid data available to evaluate the sensitization potency of o-cresol. Hence, due to the corrosive property of o-cresol which led to the label R 34 (R67/548/EEC, 19. ATP) and according to the specific rules (Column 2) of Annex VII Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) testing for sensitizational effects needs not to be conducted if the substance is evaluated as corrosive and classified/labelled accordingly.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

There is no study available to evaluate the sehsitizing potency of o-cresol. Due to the corrosive property of o-cresol and the respective lclassification and labelleing (R67/548/EEC, 19. ATP) and according to the specific rules (Column 2) of Annex VII Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) testing for sensitizational effects needs not to be conducted if the substance is evaluated as corrosive and classified/labelled accordingly..

Justification for classification or non-classification

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