Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: other: Shelanski and Shelanski Repeated Insult Patch Test
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
other: Repeated Insult Patch Test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
This test was conducted in 1979, a long time before the LLNA had been set as preferable method for generation of skin sensitisation data.

 0 – No visible irritation, or no difference from surrounding, untreated skin.

Ø – Change in appearance of skin of contact site not attributed to test material.

? – Questionable status as to presence of any change.

½ - Mild erythema covering less than half of the contact site.

1+ - Erythema confined to the contact site and exceeding that of the untreated skin.

2+ - Erythema confined to the contact site and definitely exceeding that of untreated skin, papules may or may not be present.

3+ - Erythema, with some degree of induration, papules may or may not be present.

4+ - Erythema, induration, with one or more complications such as: extension beyond margins of contact area, vesiculation, ulceration.

NP – No patch applied.

np – No patch applied, reasons unrelated to test material.

A – Absent.

NS – New site.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
There were no instances of irritation or sensitization
Executive summary:

There was no evidence that the test material acted as a sensitizer in any of the 51 individuals in the Shelanski repeat insult test. It is unlikely that this material would present a danger of irritation or sensitization in normal intended use.
