Any other information on results incl. tables
Dermal reactions during the induction phase were limited to one animal following the second and third exposures (Grade 1 erythema, desquamation). Similar findings were not seen in this animal following challenge.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- (based on the results of this study)
- Conclusions:
- No evidence of sensitisation was seen under the conditions of this study.
- Executive summary:
The potential of the test material (a mixture of basic chromium sulphate, sodium sulphate and water) to induce delayed contact hypersensitivity (skin sensitisation) was investigated in a three-induction Buehler study using female Hartley guinea pigs. The concentrations of the test material used for induction and challenge applications were based on the results of a preliminary study. The results of an acceptable positive control study are also reported, confirming the sensitivity of the assay. Induction was performed on 20 test animals using 6 -hour semi-occlusive application of 0.5 ml test material (80% in physiological saline); a total of three applications were made over a three-week period. Ten control animals were similarly treated, using vehicle. Two weeks following the final induction application, all test and control animals were challenged using a 6- hour semi-occlusive application of the test material (80%). Dermal reactions were assessed at 24 and 48 hours following patch removal. No dermal reactions were seen in test or control animals. No evidence of sensitisation was seen under the conditions of this study.
