Inductionopen allclose all
Route:
intradermal and epicutaneous
Vehicle:
water
Concentration / amount:
INDUCTION EXPOSURE:
Day 0: Induction by intradermal injection: Two pairs of intradermal injections of 0.1 ml each were administered to each animal.
Control group:
Injection 1: 50:50 mixture (v/v) of FCA and Aqua pro injectione
Injection 2: Aqua pro injectione
Injection 3: the third injection was not necessary because the chosen vehicle was Aqua pro injectione
Dose group:
Injection 1: 50:50 mixture (v/v) of FCA and Aqua pro injectione
Injection 2: 10% solution (w/v) of the test article in Aqua pro injectione
Injection 3: 10% emulsion (w/v) of the test article in 50:50 mixture (v/v) Aqua pro injectione and FCA

Day 7: Induction by dermal application
Control group: Filter papers (2x4 cm) were soaked in 0.1 g of white vaseline. One paper each was then placed on the skin on both sides of the body and covered with an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
Dose group:
Filter papers (2x4 cm) were soaked in 0.1 g of the 75:25 mixture (w/w) of test article and white vaseline. One paper each was then placed on the skin on both sides of the body and covered with an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.

CHALLENGE EXPOSURE:
Day 21: Challenge by dermal application: each animal: 1.0 g sample of either vehicle or the 75:25 mixture (w/w) of test article and white vaseline

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
According to the classification system for skin reactions of the EEC Directive 93/21 the test item has no skin sensitisation effect.
Executive summary:

Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7a, p.279: Endpoint specific

guidance, Guidance for the implementation of REACH,May 2008, ECHA: Read-across from structurally related substances can be used to classify the substance as not sensitising to the skin (Integrated testing strategy (ITS) for skin sensitisation).

Important considerations for the read-across approach is:

 ·        BLANCOLEN HP has similar physico-chemical properties likeBRUGGOLITE FF6

 ·        BLANCOLEN HP is a constituent of BRUGGOLITE FF6

 ·        The structural similarities between the two chemicals.

The weight of evidence analysis (taking into account the evaluation of skin sensitisation of BRUGGOLITE FF6 which is not a skin sensitisizer), following ITS, indicates that the test item is devoid of any skin irritation.
