Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 30% (test substance as supplied, containing 26.1% water)

Signs of irritation during induction:
No irritation was noted following intradermal injections or
the topical application.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
6/20 (30%) at 30%
2/20 (10%) at 10%

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1A (indication of significant skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions of this study, ITC 826 Concentrate was considered as a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

The sensitisation potential of ITC 826 Concentrate was assessed using a method based on the maximisation test of Magnusson and Kligman (1970).

Challenge of previously-induced guinea pigs with a 30% w/v preparation of the test sample elicited a sensitisation response (30%) with an intradermal induction at 0.03%. Challenge of previously-induced guinea pigs with a 10% w/v preparation of the test sample elicited a mild sensitisation response (10%). In a positive control study, challenge of previously-induced guinea pigs with undiluted hexylcinnamaldehyde elicited a moderate skin sensitisation response, confirming the validity of the study.

Under the test conditions of this study, ITC 826 Concentrate should be classified into category 1A (H317) according to the CLP regulation (1272/2008) including ATP2 and a skin sensitizer (Xi; R43) according to the Directive 67/548/EEC criteria.
