Test item application and observations:
- For the intra-dermal application, 0.1 mL per concentration was injected intra-dermally into the hair free skin of the flanks. One concentration was injected on the right side and another concentration on the left side of the animals. Each concentration was injected in duplicate. Two animals were used per concentration.

2-mercaptobenzothiazole

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Challenge with reference item 2-mercaptobenzothiazole resulted in a positive response in test animals previously sensitised. The net response values at the 24 and 48 hour observations represented an incidence rate of 100% and 90% and net score values of 1.00 and 0.90 respectively. In the control animals no visible changes were found either at the 24 or 48 hour examinations following challenge with the reference item.
The dermal scores represented discrete erythema (score 1) developed on the skin of sensitised guinea pigs.
On the basis of the results of the reliability check study, the reference item 2-mercaptobenzothiazole was classified as a skin sensitizer. This demonstrated that the experimental procedure and the test system were appropriate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In conclusion, under the conditions of the present assay the test item Rhodiantal original IBCH was shown to have no sensitisation potential and therefore it is classified as a non-sensitizer, according to current EU-regulations.
Executive summary:

A skin sensitisation study was performed in the guinea pig according to the Magnusson-Kligman method, using a maximisation method with Freund's Complete Adjuvant to evaluate the sensitisation potential of test item RHODIANTAL ORIGINAL IBCH. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline No. 406 (adopted in 1992) and in compliance with GLP guidelines.

Based on the results of a preliminary test, ten naive test animals were subjected to sensitisation procedures in a two-stage process, named induction phase: i.e. an intra-dermal treatment and a 48h topical application (dermal treatment under an occlusive dressing). The test item was used at a concentration of 5% (w/v) for intra-dermal injections and at a concentration of 100% (undiluted) for topical sensitisation treatment. Five naive control guinea pigs were simultaneously exposed to corn oil during the sensitisation phase.

Two weeks after the last induction exposure, a challenge dose (at a concentration of 100% (undiluted)) was administered on the left flank of all animals. The right flank area of the animals was treated with 50% dilution of the maximum dermal challenge dose as a safeguard dose (50% (w/v) in corn oil). Challenge was performed by dermal application of the test item. Skin reactions were measured 24 and 48 h after patch removal.

Incidence Rate:

No signs of systemic toxicity were observed in any animal.

During the induction period very slight erythema (score 1) was observed in test animals 1 and 24 hours after the dermal treatment (on Days 10 and 11). No further local skin effects were observed in either the test group or in the control group.

Intensity of Sensitisation Response:

Following challenge with the concentrations of 100% (undiluted) and 50% (w/v) RHODIANTAL ORIGINAL IBCH in corn oil, there were no skin reactions in the test or control animals.

The net response value represented an incidence rate of 0% after a challenge exposure at both 100% (undiluted) and 50% (w/v) RHODIANTAL ORIGINAL IBCH in corn oil.

In conclusion, under the conditions of the present assay the test item RHODIANTAL ORIGINAL IBCH (Batch No.: ZRP15010GD) was shown to have no sensitisation potential and classified as a non-sensitizer, according to current EU-regulations.
