Description of key information

Key study: Human repeated insult patch test (HRIPT) using the modified Draize procedure (Medeiros A M, 1999). DUP was found not to be a sensitizer for human skin.

Data waiving: In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, an in vitro skin sensitization study does not need to be conducted since an in vivo study on skin sensitisation is available.

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Remarks:
Description of a well conducted human study reported in a peer reviewed journal.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: DUP was tested in a 104 person panel human repeated insult patch test (HRIPT) using the modified Draize procedure
- Short description of test conditions: see below
- Parameters analysed / observed: see below
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
patch test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An appropriate patch test in human is available which would not justify conducting an additional LLNA due to animal welfare.

Conclusions:
DUP was found without skin sensitization potential in a human repeated insult patch test (HRIPT).

Executive summary:

Diundecyl phthalate was tested in a 104-person panel human repeated insult patch test (HRIPT) using the modified Draize procedure. Undiluted 100% DUP was used for the induction and challenge phases based upon a 24-h occluded irritation test on 15 panelists. The induction phase consisted in 9 applications of the test material to the same site, with a contact period of 24 h per application, and the challenge phase consisted in 1 application of 24 h to a naive site located away from the application site. Under the conditions of this HRIPT, no evidence of dermal irritation or sensitization was observed in the 104-person panel. These HRIPT data provide evidence for the lack of experimental skin sensitization potential for DUP in humans.

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
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be conducted since an in vivo study on skin sensitisation is available.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
