Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Type of sensitisation studied:
skin
Study type:
study with volunteers
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A patch test (according to Shelanski/Shelanski (1953) [see Griffith (1969)]) was performed with humans to determine the sensitising potental of the test substance.
GLP compliance:
no

Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): hydroxylamine sulfate

Details on study design:
TYPE OF TEST(S) USED: patch test (epicutaneous test)

ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: occlusive
- Description of patch: cotton felt patches
- Vehicle / solvent: detergent solution
- Concentrations: 0.05%
- Testing/scoring schedule: The patches were left on the dorsal skin of the upper arm for 24 h and were applied 3 days per week (monday, wednesday, and friday) for 3 weeks. Following this induction series, there is a 2 week period during which no patches are applied. At the beginning of the 6th week, each subject is challenged with the test material at the same sites as used for induction and at fresh sites on the opposite arm. The challenge patches are removed at 24 h and any responses are graded immediately and at 48 and 96 h. Reactions suggestive of sensitization are confirmed by a second challenge 2 months after the first challenge.


Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Hydroxylamine sulfate sensitized 3 of 76 (= 4%) human subjects at 0.05%. Based on a self-made ranking and classification system (Gad,1988), hydroxylamine sulfate has to be classified in class I (severe sensitizer).
