Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- 10 female Hartley guinea pigs were assigned to the test group and treated with an intradermal induction of 0.05 mL, 5 % test material solution in distilled water, one week later the area was re-shaved, treated with 10 % SLS solution, and then given an epidermal induction the following day. This exposure lasted for 48 hours. Two weeks after induction animals were shaved again and treated with 5 % test material solution in an occlusive challenge application that was applied for 24 hours. Five animals in the control group were also subjected to the challenge.
The challenge sites were observed 24 and hours following patch removal and the sensitising effect of the test material was evaluated. - GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of study:
- guinea pig maximisation test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- Adequate existing data available on the test material using GPMT method.

- MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
-The hair of the guinea pigs was shaved with electric hair clippers and an electric shaver on the scapular region.
-0.05 mL of each of the following substances was intradermally administered to sites (1), (2) and (3), by intradermal induction:
Emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline,
Test material
Emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and the test material.
- The hair of the guinea pigs was shorn in the same area approximately one week following intradermal injection. 10 % SLS petroleum jelly was applied to the area.
- On the following day, the test solution was applied to cotton lint, and the cotton lint was applied to the shorn area and attached for 48 hours using tape (occlusive application: epidermal induction).
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- The hair of the guinea pigs was shaved lower on the back approximately two weeks following completion of induction. On the following day, the test solution was applied to cotton lint, and the cotton lint was applied to the test site and attached for 24 hours using tape (occlusive application: challenge).
- Skin reactions were examined 24 and 48 hours following patch removal in accordance with the scoring system shown below to evaluate the sensitising effect of the test material:
0: No reaction
1: Mild or scattered erythema
2: Moderate and diffuse erythema
3: Intense erythema and swelling
-The control group was also treated from the challenge stage onwards. - Challenge controls:
- The control animals were untreated in the induction stage but were treated with an occlusive challenge application treatment of the test material alongside the test group animals.
- Positive control substance(s):
- no

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified according to EU criteria.
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test material was not considered to be a skin sensitiser.
- Executive summary:
The potential of the test material to be a skin sensitiser was investigated in a guinea pig maximisation test.
10 female Hartley guinea pigs were assigned to the test group and treated with an intradermal induction of 0.05 mL, 5 % test material solution in distilled water, one week later the area was re-shaved, treated with 10 % SLS solution, and then given an epidermal induction the following day. This exposure lasted for 48 hours. Two weeks after induction animals were shaved again and treated with 5 % test material solution in an occlusive challenge application that was applied for 24 hours. Five animals in the control group were also subjected to the challenge.
The challenge sites were observed 24 and hours following patch removal and the sensitising effect of the test material was evaluated.
No abnormalities were observed in the test or control group following the challenge. No skin reactions were observed in any animal at 24 or 48 hours.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material was not considered to be a skin sensitiser.
