Description of key information
Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with acetic acid and tetraethylenepentamine is not a dermal sensitizer.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- Version / remarks:
- 17 July 1992
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of study:
- Buehler test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- False positive results has been reported for some surfactant type chemicals, therefore the LLNA test was considered to be not the adequate in-vivo test method for testing of Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with acetic acid and tetraethylenepentamine.

- Executive summary:
In a dermal sensitization study according to OECD guideline 406 with Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with acetic acid and tetraethylenepentamine Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were tested using the method of Bühler. The undiluted test substance was used for the induction stages and for the challenge.
No skin reactions were observed in animals exposed with the test item at any stage of the study. The positive controla-hexyl cinnamaldehyde solution revealed sensitising properties in all 20 animals employed.
In this study, Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with acetic acid and tetraethylenepentamine is not a dermal sensitizer.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on data from a study according to OECD Guideline 406 , Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with acetic acid and tetraethylenepentamine does not need to be classified as skin sensitizer according the criteria of CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
