This study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfill the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability). - Executive summary:
The primary irritation test was conducted on 10 unexposed guinea pigs by applying and lightly rubbing in 0.05 mL of an 80% and an 8% suspension of the test material in DMP on shaved, intact shoulder skin. The induction phase began 2 days after the primary irritation test and continued for 4 weeks, one injection each week. After a 13-day rest period, the test guinea pigs were challenged for sensitization by applying and lightly rubbing in 0.05 mL of an 80% and an 8% suspension of test material in DMP on shaved, intact shoulder skin. The test substance caused no irritation on shaved intact skin of 10 guinea pigs at 24 or 48 hours. None of the test guinea pigs showed a sensitization response.
Reference
The test substance caused no irritation on shaved intact skin of 10 guinea pigs at 24 or 48 hours in both the primary irritation test and in the sensitization challenge. None of the test guinea pigs showed a sensitization response.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
A maximization test in guinea pigs revealed that the test substance did not produce skin sensitization in laboratory animals. In addition, mouse local lymph node assay data is available for the read across chemical, 2,2’-azobis(isobutyronitrile). The underlying hypothesis for the read-across between the test substance and 2,2’-azobis(isobutyronitrile is that the postulated reaction scheme is driven by the azo functionality that is present in both substances. Additional documentation, provided within the IUCLID Assessment Reports section, supports the read-across approach. In the OECD guideline, GLP study, no cutaneous reactions were observed after the challenge application, while the control animals showed a satisfactory sensitization response in 75% of the animals using the positive sensitizer. Taken together the weight of evidence of these two studies support the conclusion that the test substance is not considered a skin sensitizer.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test substance did not produce skin sensitization in laboratory animals, and the read across chemical, 2,2’-azobis(isobutyronitrile), did not produce a sensitization response in the mouse local lymph node assay. Based on the weight of evidence provided, the test substance does not need to be classified for sensitization according EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
