Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Inductionopen allclose all
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Concentration / amount:
0.5 mL test substance was applied to a 2x4 cm celulose patch. Dermal induction and challenge treatment were carried out with 100 % (undiluted) test substance.
Route:
intradermal
Vehicle:
other: isotonic saline
Concentration / amount:
Two intradermal injections per animal (2x 0.1mL). The treatment group was performed with 1.0 % [w/v] test substance in isotonic saline.
Challenge
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
other: isotonic saline
Concentration / amount:
treatment group was performed with 1.0 % [w/v] test substance in isotonic saline. Dermal induction and challenge treatment were carried out with 100 % (undiluted) test substance.
No. of animals per dose:
The following test groups were used for the study:
Determination of primary non-irritant concentration: 6 animals
Determination of the tolerance of intradermal injections: 5 animals
Escort group*: 5 animals
Control group: 10 animals
Treatment group: 20 animals
* used to rule out effects (lowering of primary non-irritant concentration) by Freund's Complete Adjuvant
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
dinitrochlorbenzene (DNCB) for the BUEHLER test and nickel sulfate for the Magnusson-Kligman test at intervals of approximately 6 months.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The validity of the test system is confirmed in positive control tests using nickel sulfate for the Magnusson-Kligman test at intervals of approximately 6 months. In these studies the positive control substane gave the expected positive response.

Any other information on results incl. tables

There were no clinical signs of intoxication. The body weight gain of the animals was not impaired. After challenge treatment, very slight to well-defined erythema were observed in thirteen of twenty animals of the treatment group. No signs of irritation occurred in the control animals after challenge treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study, thirteen of twenty animals of the treatment group showed a positive skin response after the challenge procedure. Based on the results of this study, the test substance is sensitizing and thus subject to labelling requirements. Classification according to CLP (EG) No. 1272/2008 as skin sensitizing Cat. 1 (H317) is warranted.
