Conclusions:
Thus, undiluted sodium cumene sulphonate is not a skin sensitizer in guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The sensitization potential of sodium cumene sulfonate was assessed in a study where one group of 20 test animals was treated with 0.4 ml of undiluted sodium cumene sulphonate for an exposure period of once weekly to 6 hours induction exposures for 3 weeks. After a 2 week rest period, both test (20) and control (10) animals were challenged with 0.4 ml of undiluted sodium cumene sulphonate.

On challenge with 0.4 ml of undiluted sodium cumene sulphonate, no reaction was observed in any of the test animals and conrtrol animals at both the 21 -hour and 45 -hour reading. No evidence for sensitization was observed in this study.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Since no skin sensitisation study is available for SDIBP, a read-across is performed from sodium cumene sulphonate (CAS No. 28348-53-0). The sensitization potential of sodium cumene sulfonate was assessed in GLP compliant, OECD 406 - Buehler skin sensitisation study (Jones, 1983). 20 female guinea pigs had occlusive epicutaneous exposures to 0.5 mL of a 50% solution of the test material in test 1 and to 0.4 mL of an undiluted test material in test 2. There were three 6-hour per week inductions followed by a challenge on day 28. Readings at 21 and 45 hours indicated there were no sensitization responses in either study.

Category Justification

According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances.

Applying the category approach read-across concept to SDIBP, data will be used from a representative member of the hydrotropes category to avoid unnecessary (animal) testing. The endpoints for which the read-across approach to SDIBP is applied, are: toxicokinetics, short-term toxicity to fish, toxicity to microorganism, acute toxicity (inhalation and dermal), skin irritation/corrosivity, skin sensitisation, genetic toxicity (in vitro, in vivo), repeated-dose toxicity (oral and dermal), screening for carcinogenicity, and screening for reproductive / developmental toxicity.

Hazard assessment related key information for SDIBP:

SDIPB and the hydrotrope members exhibit similar levels of low toxicity. Acute toxicity values are above the classification limits, they are not sensitizing and show no genotoxic effects. Both exhibit neglible irritation to the skin, but are moderately irritating to the eyes (Cat 2B). Together with the chemical structure similarity and their similar chemical properties, it is deemed correct to fill the existing data gaps on mammalian toxicity of SDIPB with the data of the hydrotrope category.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
There is no skin sensitisation study available for SDIBP. Hence read-across from sodium cumene sulphonate (CAS No. 28348-53-0) for skin sensitisation was performed, in accordance to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5. The GLP compliant study indicated these substances are "not sensitising".

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available read-across study from the member of the hydrotrope category demonstrate that SDIBP is not a skin sensitizer. Therefore a classification is not justified.
