- Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
- Twenty-three female, albino Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs supplied by David Hall Limited, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, UK were used. At the start of the main study the animals weighed 336 to 405 g, and were approximately eight to twelve weeks old. After an acclimatisation period of at least five days, each animal was selected at random and given a number unique within the study which was written on a small area of clipped rump using a black indelible marker-pen.
The animals were housed singly or in pairs in solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. Free access to mains tap water and food (Guinea Pig FD1 Diet, Special Diets Services Limited, Witham, Essex, UK) was allowed throughout the study.
The animal room was maintained at a temperature of 19 to 22 °C and relative humidity of 51 to 69%. The rate of air exchange was approximately 15 changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours darkness.

- Selection of Concentrations for Main Study (Sighting Tests)
The concentrations of test material to be used at each stage of the main study were determined by 'sighting tests' in which groups of guinea pigs were treated with various concentrations of test material.
Main study
A group of fifteen guinea pigs was used for the main study, ten test and five control. The bodyweight of each animal was recorded at the start and end of the study.
Induction
Induction of the Test Animals: Shortly before treatment on Day 0 the hair was removed from an area approximately 40 mm x 60 mm on the shoulder region of each animal with veterinary clippers. A row of three injections (0.1 mL each) was made on each side of the mid-line. The injections were:
a) Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water in the ratio 1:1
b) a 1% w/v suspension of the test material in arachis oil B.P.
c) a 1% w/v suspension of the test material in a 1:1 preparation of Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water.
Approximately 24 and 48 hours after intradermal injection the degree of erythema at the test material injection sites (ie. injection site b) was evaluated.
One week later (Day 7), the same area on the shoulder region used previously for intradermal injections was clipped again and treated with a topical application of the test material formulation. A filter paper patch (WHATMAN No. 4: approximate size 40 mm x 20 mm), loaded with the test material formulation (50% w/w in arachis oil B.P.) as a thick, even layer was applied to the prepared skin and held in place with a strip of surgical adhesive tape (BLENDERM: approximate size 50 mm x 30 mm) covered with an overlapping length of aluminium foil. The patch and foil were further secured with a strip of elastic adhesive bandage (ELASTOPLAST: approximate size 250 mm x 35 mm) wound in a double layer around the torso of each animal. This occlusive dressing was kept in place for 48 hours.
The degree of erythema and oedema was quantified one and twentyfour hours following removal of the patches.
Any other reactions were also recorded.
Induction of Control Animals: Intradermal injections were administered using an identical procedure to that used for the test animals, except that the injections were:
a) Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water in the ratio 1:1
b) arachis oil B.P.
c) 50% w/v emulsion of arachis oil B.P. in a 1:1 preparation of Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water.
The topical applications followed the same procedure as for the test animals except that the vehicle alone was applied to the filter paper. Skin reactions were quantified as for the test animals.
Challenge
Shortly before treatment on Day 21, an area of approximately 50 mm x 70 mm on both flanks of each animal, was clipped free of hair with veterinary clippers.
A square filter paper patch (WHATMAN No. 4: approximate size 20 mm x 20 mm), loaded with a thick, even layer of the test material at the maximum non-irritant concentration (50% w/w in arachis oil B.P.) was applied to the shorn right flank of each animal and was held in place with a strip of surgical adhesive tape (BLENDERM: approximate size 40 mm x 50 mm). To ensure that the maximum non-irritant concentration was used at challenge, the test material at a concentration of 25% w/w in arachis oil B.P. was similarly applied to a skin site on the left shorn flank. The patches were occluded with an overlapping length of aluminium foil and secured with a strip of elastic adhesive bandage (ELASTOPLAST: approximate size 250 mm x 75 mm) wound in a double layer around the torso of each animal.
After 24 hours, the dressing was carefully cut using blunt-tipped scissors, removed and discarded. The challenge sites were swabbed with cotton wool soaked in diethyl ether to remove residual material. The position of the treatment sites was identified by using a black indelible marker-pen.
Prior to the 24-hour observation the flanks were clipped using veterinary clippers ro remove regrown hair.
Approximately 24 and 48 hours after challenge dressing removal, the degree of erythema and oedema was quantified. - Challenge controls:
- 50% w/w in Arachis Oil B.P.
Very slight erythema was noted at the challenge site of one control group animal at the 24-hour observation. Desquamation was noted at the challenge site of one control group animal at the 48-hour observation.
25% w/w in Arachis Oil B.P.
No skin reactions were noted at the challenge sites of the test and control group animals at the 24 and 48-hour observations. - Positive control substance(s):
- no

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test material produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitiser according to Regulation (EC No 1907/2006) CLP.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the contact sensitisation potential of the test material in the albino guinea pig. The study was performed in compliance with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 406 "Skin Sensitisation" (adopted 17 July 1992) and Method B6 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
The results may be used as a basis for classification and labelling under Annex VI of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (as adapted to technical progress by Commission Directive 93/21/EEC).
Ten test and five control animals were used for the main study.
Based on the results of sighting tests, the concentrations of test material for the induction and challenge phases were selected as follows:
Intradermal Induction: 1% w/v in arachis oil B.P.
Topical Induction: 50% w/w in arachis oil B.P.
Topical Challenge: 50% and 25% w/w in arachis oil B.P.
The test material produced a 0% (0/10) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitiser according to EU labelling regulations. No risk phrase is required.
