Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

TAME was considered not sensitising in a guinea pig Bühler test performed according to USEPA Toxic Substance Control Act specification and under GLP (Pharmaco LSR, 1995). The incidence index in the positive control animals was 100%. None of the animals induced and challenged with TAME showed a dermal response, the incidence index and severity score being zero.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
Not a skin sensitiser.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:
Migrated from Short description of key information:
Respiratory tract sensitisation is not expected as no positive human data are available suggesting that TAME causes respiratory tract sensitisation. In addition, no inflammatory changes indicative of respiratory tract sensitisation were reported in repeated exposure inhalation studies in animals.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, TAME is not a skin or respiratory tract sensitiser. In accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC and EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification is not necessary for sensitisation.
