Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: A solubility experiment was performed according to the recommendations given by OECD 429. The highest test item concentration, which can be technically used was a 20 % solution in ethanol:deionised water (30+70).

To determine the highest non-irritant test concentration, a pre-test was performed in two
animals. Two mice were treated with concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 % on one ear
each on three consecutive days. Clinical signs were recorded 24 ± 4 hours after each
application. At the tested concentrations the animals did not show any signs of irritation or
systemic toxicity.

The test item in the main study was assayed at 5, 10, and 20%. The top dose is the
highest technically achievable concentration whilst avoiding systemic toxicity and
excessive local irritation. No severe irritant effects were tolerated choosing the test
concentrations.





MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT

- Name of test method:OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Updated Guideline 429: Skin Sensitisation:
Local Lymph Node Assay (adopted 24 April 2002).

- Criteria used to consider a positive response:A test item is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA if the following criteria are fulfilled:
- First, that exposure to at least one concentration of the test item resulted in an
incorporation of 3HTdR at least 3-fold or greater than that recorded in control mice, as
indicated by the stimulation index.
- Second, that the data are compatible with a conventional dose response, although
allowance must be made (especially at high topical concentrations) for either local
toxicity or immunological suppression.

Viability/Mortality:

No deaths occurred during the study period.

Clinical Signs:

The animals did not show any clinical signs during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.

Body Weights:

The body weight of the animals, recorded prior to the first application and prior to treatment with 3HTdR, was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.

a) = The mean value was taken from the figures BG I and BG II

b) = Since the lymph nodes of the animals of a dose group were pooled, DPM/node was determined by dividing the measured value by the number of lymph nodes pooled

The EC3 value could not be calculated, since all S.I.´s are below 3.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test item FAT 40840/A TE was found to be not a skin sensitiser under the described conditions.
Executive summary:

The animals did not show any clinical signs during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed. A test item is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA if the exposure to one or more test concentration resulted in 3-fold or greater increase in incorporation of 3HTdR compared with concurrent controls, as indicated by the Stimulation Index (S.I.). The estimated concentration of test item required to produce a S.I. of 3 is referred to as the EC3 value. In this study Stimulation Indices of 1.31, 1.65 and 1.53 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5, 10, and 20% in ethanol:deionised water (30+70). The EC3 value could not be calculated, since none of the tested concentrations induced an S.I. greater than 3.
