Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Both GPMT and LLNA were selected as key studies as LLNA is the current test of choice to assess skin sensitization concern whereas GPMT was the former one. Both tests were performed according to OECD recommended test guidelines without deviations (excepted LLNA where test substance concentration was tested up to 40%). Furthermore both tests fully cover the composition ranges selected for this substance (high trans and high cis qualities respectively).

Buhler test was selected as supporting study; as this test carried out in 1970 was performed before the establishment of skin sensitization test guidelines (OECD, EU), therefore some parameters (test concentration, absence of control group) where not taken in account in this test. However, this study supports the results obtained with the GPMT and LLNA.

 

GPMT, LLNA and Buhler tests clearly show that no evidence of skin sensitization occurs when substance is applied to the skin whereas three additional human tests described as full study report and key studies in the section 7.10.4 (Sensitization in humans), also covering composition ranges of the test substance, strongly corroborate these results for human uses (See table 2 below and Toxicological Information Summary).
