Description of key information

In a GLP-study according to OECD TG 406 (Guinea Pig Maximisation Test), the substance did not induce any adverse effects and is therefore considered to be not skin sensitising (reference 7.4.1 -1).

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
1. The maximum non-necrotising concentration was determined by injecting intradermally 1.562 %, 3.125 %, 6.25 %, 12.5 %, 25 % and 50 % of test substance (diluted in physiological saline) into two female guinea pigs. No necrosis was observed up to 25 %.
2. The pre-maximum non-irritant concentration was determined by appliying topically (occlusive) 12.5 %, 25 % and 50 % and 100 % of test substance (diluted in physiological saline) to two female guinea pigs for 24 hours. No cutaneous reaction were observed up to 100 %.
3. The maximum non-irritant concentration was determined by appliying topically (occlusive) 12.5 %, 25 % and 50 % and 100 % of test substance (diluted in distilled water) to three female guinea pigs for 24 hours, after an intradermal injection with hysiological saline, a topical application with distilled water and a 17-day rest phase. No cutaneous reaction were observed up to 100 %.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE

- Exposure period: 9 days
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1
- Site: intradermal (twice) and topical (same skin area)
- Frequency of applications: 2 intradermal (7 days) and 1 topical (2 days)
- Duration: 18 days

Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation effects of the substance were investigated in a guinea pig maximisation tests according to OECD TG 406 under GLP-conditions. In three preliminary studies the concentrations to be applied during the various experimental phases were determined using two or three female guinea pigs. After a 9 day induction phase, consisting of 7 days intradermal exposure (twice) with the test substance (diluted to 25 % in physiological saline) and a 2 day two topical application with 100 % (after brushing with 10 % SLS), the guinea pigs (all females) rested for 18 days.

Then the guinea pigs were challenged for two days by applying the substance topically (occlusive) in concentrations of 50 % and 100 %. At both reading times (24 h and 48 h) no cutaneous reactions were observed. Therefore, the substance is considered to be not skin sensitising.

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vitro
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
an in vitro skin sensitisation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin sensitisation study are available
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on this data, the substance is not considered to be classified for skin sensitization under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the fifteenth time in Regulation (EU) 2020/1182.
