Description of key information
Skin sensitisation:
4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) was assessed for its possible allergic contact dermatitis reaction in humans from International Journal of Toxicology, 18(Suppl. 1):l I-31, 1999. 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated reaction was evaluated in 110 human volunteers out of which 8 were drew because they were unrelated to administration of test material. For the induction exposure, 0.2 ml of test material was applied to the scapular region of the back for three times per week for 3 weeks under occlusive patches. After 48 hrs, site was observed after removal of patches. The induction exposure duration was 3 weeks which was followed by 14-day non treatment period. From the 6thweeks challenge exposure was applied to new sites of the scapular region of back and the site were observed after 48 and 96 hrs. During induction and challenge phases, reactions were scored according to the following scale: 0 (no reaction) to 4 (bullae or extensive erosions involving at least 50% of the test area). Faint to moderate erythema was observed during induction phase in 3 subjects and also at challenge phase but no evidence of allergic contact dermatitis was observed. From the clinical observation it was considered that no skin sensitization reaction was observed. Therefore 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) was considered to be non sensitizing in humans.

Skin sensitization
In different studies, 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) has been investigated for potential of skin sensitization to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in human for target chemical 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3).
4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) was assessed for its possible allergic contact dermatitis reaction in humans from International Journal of Toxicology, 18(Suppl. 1):l I-31, 1999. 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated reaction was evaluated in 110 human volunteers out of which 8 were drew because they were unrelated to administration of test material. For the induction exposure, 0.2 ml of test material was applied to the scapular region of the back for three times per week for 3 weeks under occlusive patches. After 48 hrs, site was observed after removal of patches. The induction exposure duration was 3 weeks which was followed by 14-day non treatment period. From the 6thweeks challenge exposure was applied to new sites of the scapular region of back and the site were observed after 48 and 96 hrs. During induction and challenge phases, reactions were scored according to the following scale: 0 (no reaction) to 4 (bullae or extensive erosions involving at least 50% of the test area). Faint to moderate erythema was observed during induction phase in 3 subjects and also at challenge phase but no evidence of allergic contact dermatitis was observed. From the clinical observation it was considered that no skin sensitization reaction was observed. Therefore 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) was considered to be non sensitizing in humans.
From the same reference International Journal of Toxicology, 18(Suppl. 1):l I-31, 1999 study supported to the above key study. 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) was assessed for its possible allergic contact dermatitis reaction in humans. 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated reaction was evaluated in 111 human volunteers out of which 8 were drew because they were unrelated to administration of test material. For the induction exposure, 0.2 ml of 10% of nonoxynol 2 of test material was applied to the scapular region of the back for three times per week for 3 weeks under occlusive patches. After 48 hrs, site was observed after removal of patches. The induction exposure duration was 3 weeks which was followed by 14-day non treatment period. From the 6thweeks challenge exposure was applied to new sites of the scapular region of back and the site was observed after 48 and 96 hrs. During induction and challenge phases, reactions were scored according to the following scale: 0 (no reaction) to 4 (bullae or extensive erosions involving at least 50% of the test area). After induction test slight to moderate erythema was observed in 15 subjects and 8 additional volunteers were applied for challenge exposure. 9 out of 23 were having allergic contact dermatitis. 7 out of 9 were retested according to the other procedure. In that test substance was applied under a semi-occlusive patch for 30 minutes, after which the test site was rinsed with warm water. Reactions were observed for 24 and 48 hrs in which not allergic responses were observed in five out of seven volunteers. From the clinical observation it was considered that no skin sensitization reaction was observed. Therefore, 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) was considered to be non sensitizing in humans.
Thus by applying key and supporting data, it can be concluded that 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) is not a skin sensitizer. Thus comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (26027-38-3) can be considered as not classified for skin sensitization.
