Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
Data on skin sensitisation is not available.
Since phosgene is classified as corrosive no in vivo testing on skin sensitisation is required. In addition, testing of skin sensitisation in animals is technically not feasible by the known standard procedures since phosgene is a gas at room temperature and aqueous phosgene rapidly hydrolyzes to carbon dioxide and hydrochloric acid. Therefore it seems also highly unlikely that unchanged phosgene can be absorbed through the skin.

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
