- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Dimethylaminoethanol does not cause contact sensitization after 10 applications at its HNID (6% w/w in destilled water) over a 3 1/2 week induction period.
- Executive summary:
DMAE was tested on skin sensitization potential in guinea pigs. The test substance did not cause sensitization after challenge exposure.
Reference
Dimethylaminoethanol does not cause contact sensitization after 10 applications at its HNID (6% w/w in destilled water) over a 3 1/2 week induction period.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
Experimental results of the key GLP- study demonstrate that the test substance is not sensitising. DMAE was applied epicutan to the guinea pigs (Buhler Test). After challenge exposure there were no signs of sensitization. Leung and Blaszcak confirmed this finding, applying 5 % of the test substance to the guinea pigs skin. The substance showed no clear skin responses suggestive of sensitisation. No allergic contact dermatitis was induced.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Due to negative outcomes in guinea pigs in Buhler Test and in Guinea Pig Maximization Test performed with DMAE, classification is not warranted according to the criteria of EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
