Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material was considered to be a non-sensitiser under the conditions of the test.
The test material did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitizer according to EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC. No symbol and risk phrase are required.
Executive summary:

2,4,7,9-tetramethyldecane-4,7-diol was considered to be a non-sensitizer under the conditions of the test.

A study was performed to assess the skin sensitization potential of the test material in the CBA/Ca strain mouse following topical application to the dorsal surface of the ear. The method was designed to meet the requirements of OECD Guideline 429.

Following a preliminary screening test, three groups, each of five animals, were treated with 50 ml (25ml per ear) of the test material as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at concentrations of 10%, 25%, and 50% v/v. A further group of five animals were treated with acetone/olive oil 4:1 alone.

The Stimulation Index (SI) expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for each treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group are as follows:

Concentration (% v/v) in Acetone/olive oil 4:1 Stimulation Index (SI) Result
10 1.19 Negative
25 2.16 Negative
50 2.51 Negative

2,4,7,9-tetramethyldecane-4,7-diol did not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitizer according to EU labeling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC. No symbol and risk phrase are required.
