RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The following concentrations were examined on separate animals for the evaluation of the primary irritant potential and the maximum subirritant concentration of the test article: 10 and 30 % in vaseline.
Results:the concentration (1 %) for the intradermal injections was selected on account of the solubility of the test article in standard vehicles.
Erythema reactions were observed with 30% in vaseline. 30 % was, therefore, selected for the epidermal induction application and 10 % as maximum subirritant concentration for the epidermal challenge application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No animal of the test group was sensitised by the test item under the experimental condition employed.
Executive summary:

A GLP-compliant guinea pig maximization test was performed following OECD guideline 406. The test was performed on 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs per group. During induction, three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) were made simultaneously into the shaved neck of the guinea pigs as follows: adjuvant and saline (1:1); test article (1%) in sesame oil; test article (1%) in the adjuvant saline mixture. One week later the test item was incorporated in vaseline (30%) and applied on a filterpaper patch to the neck of the animals (patch 2x4 cm; approx. 0.4 g paste per patch; occluded administration for 4 8 hours). Two weeks after the epidermal induction application the animals were tested on the flank with the test item in vaseline (10%) and the vehicle alone (patch 2x2 cm; approx. 0.2 g paste per patch; occluded administration for 24 hours). A control group was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test article (at least 10 animals) to control the maximum subirritant concentration of the test article in adjuvant treated animals. Twenty four hours after removing the dressings, the challenge reactions were graded according to the Draize scoring scale. Under the experimental conditions employed, none of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings.
