Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
substance is sensitizing
Executive summary:

Wittigaldehydechlorid was administered intradermally at a concentration of 1% in H20 and epicutaneous under occlusion at 20% in PEG-400 for induction. The challenge and rechallenge tests were performed with 20% Wittigaldehydechlorid in PEG-400.

These experimental data indicate that Wittiagaldehydechloride possesses allergenic potential for guinea pigs. Contamination of human skin surface by this chemical may cause skin allergy. During handling protective health measures, i.e. wearing of gloves

and respirator, therefore are obligatory.
