adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

In the available key study (Dow Corning Corporation, 1985), the test item was investigated for skin sensitising properties in the Guinea Pig Maximization Test, conducted similar to the OECD TG 406, and in compliance with GLP. 20 Hartley guinea pigs per dose were induced with the test material by receiving 3 pairs of intradermal injections, followed by epicutaneous application of the test material 7 days later. Control animals received the vehicle only during the induction period. Challenge exposure was carried out by epicutaneous application of test item and the vehicle only to both test and control animals. The test material concentrations applied in this test were 5% for intradermal injections and epicutaneous induction, as well as for the challenge exposure. 24 and 48 h after chellenge exposure the animals were examined for skin reactions. None of the negative control animals showed any skin reaction at 24 and 48 h, respectively.In contrast, 9/20 animals (45%) induced with the test material showed skin reactions at both readings. Based on this data, the test material meets the criteria to be classified as a skin sensitiser (Cat 1B, H317) according to EC/1272/2008.


Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data is reliable and suitable for classification. Based on this data, the registered substance meets the criteria to be classified as a skin sensitiser (Cat 1B, H317) according to EC/1272/2008.
