Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under these experimental conditions, Dimetylethylamine is considered to be not sensitizing.
Executive summary:

The delayed contact hypersensivity of Dimethylethylamine (DMEA) was evaluated in Guinea pigs according to the Magnusson and Kligman test.


The induction phase has been realized both by intradermal route on day 1 (DMEA 0.1% in vehicle) and by cutaneous route on day 8 (DMEA 1%) in 2 groups of guinea pigs: 5 males and 5 females for control group and 10 males and 10 females for treated group. The challenge phase was realized on day 22 by cutaneous application of DMEA 1%; the cutaneous reactions were scored 24 and 48 hours after the removal of the dressing.


The body weight gain in treated animals was slightly lower than in control animals. No clinical signs (erythema or oedema) were recorded during the study.


In conclusion, under these experimental conditions, DMEA is considered to be not sensitizing.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

The delayed contact hypersensivity of Dimethylethylamine (DMEA) was evaluated in Guinea pigs according to the Magnusson and Kligman test (Clouzeau, 1989). The induction phase has been realized both by intradermal route on day 1 (DMEA 0.1% in vehicle) and by cutaneous route on day 8 (DMEA 1%) in 2 groups of guinea pigs: 5 males and 5 females for control group and 10 males and 10 females for treated group. The challenge phase was realized on day 22 by cutaneous application of DMEA 1%; the cutaneous reactions were scored 24 and 48 hours after the removal of the dressing. The body weight gain in treated animals was slightly lower than in control animals. No clinical signs (erythema or oedema) were recorded during the study. In conclusion, under these experimental conditions, DMEA is considered to be not sensitizing.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to available data and the criteria of EC Regulation 1272/2008 and GHS, no classification is warranted for skin sensitization.
