Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
This study was conducted due to non-REACH regulatory requirements. With the existing data from this study not only being acceptable but of good quality, this study precludes the need for an additional LLNA study. In addition, a supplementary LLNA study would violate the ECHA objectives with regards to animal welfare.

Details on study design:
PRELIMINARY STUDY AND DOSE RANGE FINDING
Left flank: 20 % (in deinonized water), 100% (moistened)
Right flank: 4, 20% (in deinonized water)
Topical application 0.5 g of test substance moistened with 0.5 ml deionized water per plaster (4 cm2) for 6h under fully occluded conditions

INDUCTION
100% (non-irritating)
Topical application 0.5 g of test substance moistened with 0.5 ml deionized water per plaster (4 cm2) for 6h under fully occluded conditions, three times at intervals of one week. Skin grading 24 and 48h following patch removal

CHALLENGE
100% (non-irritating); 14 days after the last induction exposure, application of the challenge patch on the shaved skin for 6h; skin evaluations 24 and 48h after patch removal

GRADING SYSTEM
Dermal reactions graded for erythema and edema by blind reading according to grading scale:
- No visible change: 0
- Discrete or patchy erythema: 1
- Moderated and confluent erythema: 2
- Intense erythema and swelling: 3
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Alpha-hexylcinnamic aldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The validity of the test system is confirmed by the periodically conducted positive control test using alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde for the Buehler test. No unforeseen circumstances were observed which might have affected the quality or integrity of the study.
