Additional information:

DEREK assessments

Predictions on the skin sensitisation potential of the 4 representative potential C12-alkyl derivatives and of 3 potential minor constituents (by-products) present in the substance were obtained with the DEREK NEXUS programme. In this assessment version 2.0.0 of DEREK NEXUS was used. DEREK NEXUS is a knowledge-based system that contains over 700 toxicity alerts based on the presence of substructures. The system contains more than 50 alerts specific to skin sensitization. The rules are based on the presence of specific substructures, or chemical classes related to potential mechanisms for skin sensitization. For all 7 investigated structures (potentially) present in the substance, DEREK NEXUS did not find any substructures in its database that fired an alert for sensitisation potential.

Additional supporting considerations

The main potential surfactant structures present did not trigger any structural alerts in a second sensitization assessment model, ToxTree v.2.1.0, i.e. no alert for nucleophilic aromatic substitution, Schiff Base formation, Michael acceptor, acyl transfer agents, or nucleophilic aliphatic substitution. Despite a long history of use in consumer products, there are only rare occurrences of in-use sensitization reports with surfactants in general, and with alkylamphoacetates more specifically.

Read-Across from analogue amphoacetates C12 (GPMT)

In an adjuvant type guinea pig test method for skin sensitisation with analogue amphoacetates C12, conducted similar to OECD 406 and GLP, positive reactions in 5 of the 20 animals (25%) were observed during challenge. Although a deviation of the study was to base the choice for the intradermal induction exposure on the minimal irritating exposure instead of on the highest exposure to cause mild-to-moderate skin irritation, the concentrations selected for the other phases of the study (topic applications for the induction and challenge phases) were in compliance with the guidelines. Based on the results of this study the substance does not need to be classified for skin sensitising in accordance with the CLP Regulation. This result is read-across to this substance. The read-across from this analogue to the registered substance for the skin sensitising potential of the substance is considered scientifically justified based on the overall information available (see rationale attached in Section 13).

Read-Across from analogue amphoacetates C8 -C18 (GPMT)

In an adjuvant type guinea pig test method for skin sensitisation with another analogue (amphoacetates C8 -C18), conducted according to OECD 406 and GLP, positive reactions in 0 of the 20 animals (0%) were observed during challenge with an aqueous solution. The read-across from this analogue to the registered substance for the skin sensitising potential of the substance is considered scientifically justified based on the overall information available.

Conclusion

Based on a weight-of-evidence approach, taking into account all the available information of two analogues, it is considered justified to conclude that the substance has a low potential to cause skin sensitisation in humans.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on a weight-of-evidence approach, taking into account all the available information of analogues, the substance is not classified for skin sensitisation in accordance with the CLP Regulation.

Due to the lack of data, the substance is not classified for respiratory sensitisation. In addition, given the physical-chemical properties of the substance and its use pattern, a potential for causing respiratory sensitisation is unlikely.
