Conclusions:
Based on the read-across approach from experimental results on analogue butan-2-one O,O',O''-(methylsilylidyne)trioxime, the read-across approach was applied and the substance butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilylidyne)trioxime was determined to be skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

A guinea-pig maximisation test was conducted according to OECD 406 and GLP on the analogue substance butan-2-one O,O',O''-(methylsilylidyne)trioxime. 15 female guinea pigs were exposed to induction doses of 5% (intradermal) and 25% (epicutaneous) and a challenge dose of 50% test item. Another 3 females were used as negative controls. The results on the analogue reported a response to challenge in 14 of 15 animals at 24 and 48 h. Responses in 1 of 3 and 0 of 3 were reported at 24 and 48 hours, respectively, in the small negative control group. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the substance butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilylidyne)trioxime was determined to be skin sensitiser since a response of 30% or more in an adjuvant test indicates sensitisation.

Key study: A guinea-pig maximisation test was conducted with GLP was performed on analogue substance butan-2-one O,O',O''-(methylsilanetriyl)oxime. The results reported a response to challenge (using 50% test substance) in 14 of 15 animals at 24 and 48 h. Responses in 1 of 3 and 0 of 3 were reported at 24 and 48 hours, respectively, in the small negative control group. A response of 30% or more in an adjuvant test indicates sensitisation. Based on this experimental data, a read-across approach was applied and the substance butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be skin sensitiser.
