- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A. INTRADERMAL INJECTION
- Intradermal Injections I:
Four intradermal injections (0.1 mL/site) of a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant/physiological saline were made into the shaved neck of one guinea pig (no. 1). One week later, three intradermal injections (0.1 mL/site) were made into the clipped flank of the same guinea pig at concentrations of A = 50%, B = 25% and C = 10% of the test item in PEG 300. Dermal reactions were assessed 24 hours later.
- Intradermal Injections II
Due to necrosis at the injection site being observed at all concentrations tested, a second intradermal pretest was carried out in the same manner as the first intradermal pretest, using concentrations of H=3%, I=1% and J=0.3%. Dermal reactions were assessed 24 hours later.
B. EPIDERMAL APPLICATION
- Epidermal application I:
Four intradermal injections (0.1 mL/site) of a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant/physiological saline were made into the shaved neck of two guinea pigs (nos. 2-3). One week later, four patches of filter paper (3 x 3 cm) were saturated with the test item at D = 25% E = 10%, F = 5% and G = 1% in PEG 300 and applied to the shaved flanks of the same guinea pigs. The volume of test item preparation applied was approximately 0.2 mL. The occlusive dressings were left in place for 24 hours. Dermal reactions were assessed 24 hours later.
- Epidermal application II:
As no skin irritation was observed at any concentration tested, a second intradermal pretest was carried out on two animals in the same manner as the first, using concentrations of K=75% and L=50%. Dermal reactions were assessed 24 hours later.

- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based on the above mentioned findings in an adjuvant sensitisation test (M&K-test) in guinea pigs, the substance is not considered to be a skin sensitizer according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Reference
Pretest:
- Intradermal Injections: Necrosis of the injection site was observed at all three concentrations tested, therefore a second intradermal pretest was performed.
- Epidermal applications: No signs of skin irritation were observed in the first epidermal application test at any of the concentrations tested (25%, 10%, 5%, 1%). At the second epidermal application test necrosis were observed at both concentration tested (75% and 50%).
-Based on the results of the pretests, the test item concentrations were selected for the main study.
Results:
Viability / Mortality
- No intercurrent deaths occurred during the course of the study.
Clinical Signs
- No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed throughout the study.
Skin Reactions
Skin Reactions in the Intradermal Induction:
- Expected common findings were observed in the test and control groups after the different injections using FCA intradermally. These findings consisted of erythema, oedema, necrotizing dermatitis, encrustation and exfoliation of encrustation.
No detailed description of the skin reactions is given in the report as these FCA effects are well-known.
Skin Reactions in the Epidermal Induction:
- After pretreatment with SLS prior to the application of PEG 300 only, four of five animals of control group 1 showed skin reactions ranging from discrete or patchy erythema to moderate and confluent erythema accompanied by crusts.
After pretreatment with SLS prior to the application of the test item at 25% in PEG 300, all animals of the test group showed skin reactions ranging from discrete or patchy erythema to intense erythema and swelling accompanied by crusts, fissures or scales, indicating sufficient skin irritation to induce a potential sensitisation.
Skin Reactions in the First Challenge:
- No skin reactions were observed in control group 1 or the test group after the first challenge with 10% test item in PEG 300 or PEG 300 alone.
Skin Reactions in the Second Challenge:
- No skin reactions were observed in control group 2 or the test group after the second challenge with 10% test item in PEG 300 or PEG 300 alone, thus confirming the results of the first challenge.
Body Weights
- The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.
Pathology
- No intercurrent deaths occurred during the course of the study, hence no necropsy was performed.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
- Migrated from Short description of key information:
Based on findings in an adjuvant sensitisation test (M&K-test) in guinea pigs with no clinical signs found at application level of 10%, the substance is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
GLP study according to OECD test guideline 406
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results in the OECD 406 test in guinea pigs, the substance is not considered to be a skin sensitiser according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
