RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Prerequisite concentrations for main study: For intradermal injections (primary induction of the sensitisation phase): The concentrations of 50% a
nd 25% were successively tested. However, due to injection trouble ( technical trouble during the injection; mainly setting in
mass of the suspension in the syringe and needle) for both concentrations, the chosen concentration at 10% was retained as the
maximum concentration injectable under acceptable conditions which caused slight to moderate irritation
with neither necrosis nor ulcerative lesion formation and without having any systemic toxic effect on the animal.
For topical applications (second induction of the sensitisation phase and challenge): For the second induction phase of the sensitisation phase,
the chosen concentration of 50% was the maximum concentration which caused a slight to moderate irritation with neither necrosis nor ulcerative
lesion formation and without any systemic toxic effect on the animal. For challenge, the chosen concentration of 25% was the maximum
concentration causing no irritation in any of the animals (MNIC = Maximum Non-Irritant Concentration) and was also free of any systemic toxic
effect.

OTHER:
Primary induction by intradermal route : D1
Preparatory phase : D8 - creation of local irritation:
Attempted sensitisation: D9
Expression phase: D10 to D21
Topical challenge : D22

The day prior to each treatment, an area of approximately 24 cm2 (4 cm x
6 cm) on the retro-scapular region on either side of the vertebral column (induction area) or on both
flanks (challenge area) was clipped free of hair using an electric clipper. Only healthy animals with an
intact skin were used for the experiment.

Second induction phase by topical route
Preparatory phase (D8)- creation of local irritation: As the maximum concentration determined
during the preliminary study did not produce irritation, the area was managed with 0.5 mL of a
suspension of 10% sodium lauryl sulphate (dodecyl-hydrogenosulphate sodium salt) in mineral oil. On
D8, this suspension was applied topically to the skin at the 6 injection sites utilised on D1, over an area
of approximately 8 cm2 previously clipped free of hair in order to create a local irritation.
Attempted sensitisation (D9): The 2nd induction on D9 involved topical application at the 6 injection
sites of D1. After removal of any residual sodium lauryl sulfate, treatment group animals received
Milled Clinker of Ciment Fondu preparation at the maximum slight to moderate irritant concentration
determined during the preliminary study by topical application. A filter paper (Whatman International
Ltd, UK - grade 1 - 8 cm2) was soaked until saturation in the test item preparation or saturated with an
appropriate volume of the test item preparation. The filter paper was deposited on the skin, protected
by a piece of gauze and was held in place for 48 hours using an occlusive dressing made up of surgical
tape BLENDERM 3r - 5 cm covered with adhesive tape ELASTOPLASTEr.
Under the same experimental conditions, negative control animals received the vehicle (and positive
control animals received HCA solution, 90% in corn oil).
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
HCA solution

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Statistics:
All data were registered as and when obtained using forms identified by the study number. Only clinical signs exhibited by at least one animal were
tabulated. Results of body weight change were analysed for each sex separately and were given as means ± SEM (Standard Error of the Mean). The
effects of the test item on the body weight change were compared with that of the control groups using an analysis of variance with a Dunnett's test
in case of significance (P60.05). Statistical tests were processed using RS/1 software (release 6.3, APPLIED MATERIALS).

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
In the positive control group in which animals were treated with HCA, all animals showed skin reaction (score 2 to 3) at 24 and 48 hours (non audited results). The positive test item HCA appeared as an extreme sensitiser.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Reading of skin reactions:

The application of Milled Clinker of Ciment Fondu® induced a brown/black colouration of the application

site. In order to allow satisfactory conditions for grading, the application site was cleaned using

a waterlogged compress at the time of removal of the dressing. The absence of local reaction to the

rinsing procedure with sterile water was confirmed simultaneously.

Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions, the test item Milled Clinker of Ciment Fondu® (Batch No. 70398) is not sensitizing in the
guinea pig
Executive summary:

The possible delayed sensitising capacity of Milled Clinker of Ciment Fondu® (Batch No. 70398) was evaluated in the guinea pig in accordance with the General Requirements of OECD Guideline No. 406 (July 17,1992) and method B6 of Commission Directive No. 96/54/EC (July 30, 1996) adapting to technical progress for the 22nd time Council Directive No.67/548/EEC and subsequent amendments, of Council Regulation No.440/2008 (30th May 2008) and Regulation No.1907/2006 (REACH) and CLP Regulation No.1272/2008.

The sensitivity and the reliability of the experimental method are verified at least every six months, by use of a positive control group in which animals are treated with HCA. The application of the test item Milled Clinker of Ciment Fondu® induced brown colouration of the application site. In order to allow satisfactory conditions for grading, the application site was cleaned using a water logged compress at the time of removal of the dressing. The absence of local reaction to the rinsing procedure with sterile water was confirmed simultaneously.

Determination of the degree of allergenicity at times 24 and 48 hours was based upon the percentage of animals in the group showing a reaction, rather than on the severity of the latter.

Under the experimental conditions adopted, results obtained were as follows:

No irritation reaction was noted at times 24 and 48 hours in animals of the negative control group or in animals treated during the challenge phase with the test item Milled Clinker of Ciment Fondu® at the Maximum Non-Irritant Concentration(MNIC).

Under the experimental conditions adopted, the test item Milled Clinker of Ciment Fondu® (Batch No.70398) is not sensitising in the guinea pig.
