Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
No data on skin sensitizing properties of SDEC, both the anhydrous (pure) form and its 26% aqueous solution, are available. Under Column 2, Annex VII, of the REACH legislation a skin sensitization study does not need to be performed if the chemical is a strong base (pH>11.5). Anhydrous (pure) SDEC has an alkaline pH (>11.5), and it will be proposed for classification for skin corrosion. Accordingly, its marketed form i.e. 26% aqueous solution SDEC may also be classified as skin corrosive, since it exceeds the generic concentration limit of ingredients for skin corrosion that trigger classification of a mixture (>5%), as laid down in CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Therefore, a skin sensitization test does not need to be conducted.

- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Both the anhydrous SDEC and its 26% aqueous solution are proposed for classification as corrosive to the skin due to an alkaline pH. On this basis a skin sentization classification is not needed.
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.
