Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
Ministerium für Umwelt, Raumordnung und Landwirtschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The test was performed in 1995 when the OECD Guideline 406 adopted in 1992 was the current version. According to this guideline "the Guinea Pig Maximisation Test (GPMT) [...] and the non-adjuvant Buehler Test are given preference over other methods.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In a range finding study none of the applied dilutions, namely semiocclusive patcg of 0.3 mL of a 5, 25, 50 and 100% (v/v) solution in maize oil for 6 h, was irritating to the skin of the test animal. Therefore the pure test substance was used for both induction and challenge in the main study. Weight gain was normal in all animals. No clinical signs were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The available data on skin sensitisation of the structural analogue dimethoxydiphenylsilane (CAS: 6843-66-9) do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
