Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (LLNA)
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Although reported GLP the information originated from a detailed review study that refers to an unpublished study. Thereby full details are nonot available for examination.

In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
mouse
Strain:
CBA
Sex:
female

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
dimethylformamide
Concentration:
25 microliters of test material. According to OECD Guideline.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Tartaric acid can be considered as a non-sentitiser as determined by OECD test guideloin 429. This information is fully relevant towards read across to potassium sodium tartrate as the salt dissociates in solution into the tartrate group, yielding an identical active organic group in solution.
