Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Sex:
not specified
Concentration / amount:
Concentration of test material and vehicle used at induction:
First induction (intradermal injection): 1% in sesame oil and adjuvant saline mixture.

Second induction (epidermal application): 10% in vaseline

Concentration of test material and vehicle used for each challenge: 0.3 % in vaseline
Concentration / amount:
Concentration of test material and vehicle used at induction:
First induction (intradermal injection): 1% in sesame oil and adjuvant saline mixture.

Second induction (epidermal application): 10% in vaseline

Concentration of test material and vehicle used for each challenge: 0.3 % in vaseline
No. of animals per dose:
Number of animals in test group: 20
Number of animals in negative control group: 10
Reading:
other: each challenge
Group:
test chemical
Total no. in group:
20
Clinical observations:
Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: 60- 75% of the animals were sensitized under the experimental conditions employed.
Remarks on result:
other: Reading: other: each challenge. Group: test group. Total no. in groups: 20.0. Clinical observations: Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: 60- 75% of the animals were sensitized under the experimental conditions employed..

At one hour a score of one was seen in one animal. No inflammation was observed between 24 and 72 hours.

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance is classified as a skin sensitizer.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: 60- 75% of the animals were sensitized under the experimental conditions employed.

The test substance required the classification as sensitiser.

It is classified in the Annex VI of Regulation no.1272/2008 with the reference number 613-078-00-1.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
The sensitisation potential was investigated following the EU Method B.6, performed more than 12 years ago, under GLP conditions.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Only one study available

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:
Justification for selection of respiratory sensitisation endpoint:
Endpoint not requested for the registered tonnage band .

Justification for classification or non-classification

Since 60- 75% of the animals showed evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration, under the experimental conditions

employed, the test substance need to be classified as skin sensitiser.
