EC number: 203-113-5 | CAS number: 103-45-7
Skin sensitisation
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Remarks:
- in vivo
- Type of information:
- other: handbook
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Study period:
- Published in 1985
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: The comparative assessment of two sensitisation methods includes limited results for hexyl acetate but is sufficient to support a conclusion that the substance is not a skin sensitiser.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
- Conclusions:
- Complementary testing of phenyl ethyl acetate in two guinea pig models, one with and one without adjuvant, indicate the absence of sensitising potential.
- Executive summary:
No evidence of skin sensitisation was seen with phenyl ethyl acetate, either in the Freund's Complete Adjuvant Test (FCAT: an adjuvant method) or in the Open Epicutaneous Test (OET: a non-adjuvant method). Although the studies are of non-standard design, the constently negative results are considered to be sufficient to conclude an absence of sensitising potential.
