MAIN STUDY

ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA (OECD 429)
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: stimulation index (SI) was calculated based on DPM values; SI >= 3 indicates a sensitising potential

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
the test substance was applied on three consecutive days on the dorsal surface of both ears (25 µl/ear)
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Any other information on results incl. tables

In this LLNA test at the highest dose of 100% test substance applied to the ears the calculated SI value reached the value of 3.0. However, the vehicle control group of this study showed a very low mean DPM value, amounting to 223 DPM. In a parallel LLNA test performed at the same time, with the same batch of animals and vehicle, in the vehicle control group the DPM value amounted to 532 (copies of the tables showing the DPM values of both studies are attached).

The DPM value of the vehicle control group was very low due to three animals having DPM values between 109 and 154. The two other animals of the control group had DPM values of 358 and 375. The DPM values of the five vehicle control animals of the parallel study had DPM values ranging from 375 to 706. These data show that (1) a brought range of DPM values in vehicle control animals is determined (from 109 to 706) and (2) that the random distribution of animals can lead to high variations of DPM values in control groups. The exchange of just one control animal between the two vehicle control groups would have resulted in a calculated SI value below 3.0. An increase of only 10 DPM of the mean DPM value of the vehicle control group, i.e. from 223 DPM to 233 DPM, results in an SI value < 2.9.

Taking these statistical and mathematical considerations together it is concluded that the SI value of 3.0 as calculated in this study is a borderline case not leading to classification of S-930 as having a skin sensitising potential.
