Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

No information is available on sucrose benzoate regarding sensitisation.

As a worst case scenario read-across to data on benzoic acid can be used. This is considered as a precautious approach as sucrose benzoate is a non-reactive chemcial substance having  a low water solubility (3 mg/L) and high molacular weight (1175 g/mol) and thus considered to have a much lower potential for dermal penetration than benzoic acid.

GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No information is available on sucrose benzoate. As a worst case scenario read across to benzoic acid can be used. For benzoic acid several sensitisation studies including LLNA, GPMT and Buehler tests revealed no sensitising potential of the substance. Based on this RAC concluded on no classification regarding skin sensitisation for benzoic acid (ECHA/RAC 2012).
Neither benzoic acid nor sucrose are of concern in relation to skin sensitisation. So even in a worst case situation with some hydrolysis and liberation of benzoic acid, sucrose benzoate can be concluded as non sensitising as well.
Executive summary:

No information is available on sucrose benzoate. As a worst case scenario read across to benzoic acid can be used. For benzoic acid several sensitisation studies including LLNA, GPMT and Buehler tests revealed no sensitising potential of the substance. Based on this RAC concluded on no classification regarding skin sensitisation for benzoic acid (ECHA/RAC 2012).

Neither benzoic acid nor sucrose are of concern in relation to skin sensitisation. So even in a worst case situation with some hydrolysis and liberation of benzoic acid sucrose benzoate can be concluded as non sensitising as well.

Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

No information is available on sucrose benzoate. As a worst case scenario read across to benzoic acid can be used. For benzoic acid several sensitisation studies including LLNA, GPMT and Buehler tests revealed no sensitising potential of the substance. Based on this RAC concluded on no classification regarding skin sensitisation for benzoic acid (ECHA/RAC 2012).

Thus, neither benzoic acid nor sucrose are of concern in relation to skin sensitisation. So even in a worst case situation with some hydrolysis and liberation of benzoic acid, sucrose benzoate can be concluded as non sensitising as well.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on read-across to data on benzoic acid, it can be concluded that sucrose benzoate does not have a potential for skin sensitisation. Thus, no classification according to the CLP-criteria applies for this end-point.
