RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Range finding tests were performed with one male testing animal for the intradermal injections at concentrations of 1, 3, and 5 % of Actinol in PEG 400. Epicutaneous induction was tested in two male testing animals. Four patches of filter paper (3 x 3 cm) were saturated with the test substance at 10, 15, 25 and 50 % in PEG 400 and applied to the clipped and shaved flanks of the animals. Patches were covered by a strip of aluminium foil and firmly secured with elastic plaster wrapped around the trunk and covered with impervious adhesive tape.

- Control group: clipped and shaved left flank was covered with a patch (3 x 3 cm) of filter paper saturated with the test substance ath the highest non-irritating concentraiton of 10 % , clipped and shaved right flank was covered with a patch (3 x 3 cm) of filter paper saturated with PEG 400
- Site: left and right flanks
- Concentrations: 10 %
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): the reaction sites were assessed 24 and 48 hours after the removal of the bandage

Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the above mentioned findings in an adjuvant sensitization test in guinea pigs and in accordance to Commission Directive 96/54/EEC, Actinol has not to be classified and labelled as a skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

In order to assess the cutaneous allergenic potential of Actinol, the Maximization-Test was performed in 15 (10 test and 5 control) male albino guinea pigs, in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 406 and the Directive 96/54/EEC, B.6.

The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was performed in the nuchal region with a 5 % dilution of the test article in PEG 400 and in an emulsion of Freunds Complete Adjuvant (FCA) / physiological saline. The epidermal induction of sensitization

was conducted for 48 hours under occlusion with the test article at 50 % in PEG 400 one week after the intradermal induction. The animals of the control group were intradermally induced with PEG 400 and FCVphysiological saline and epidermally induced with PEG 400 underocclusion.

Two weeks after epidermal induction the control and test animals were challenged by epidermal application of the test article at 10 % in PEG 400 and PEG 400 alone under occlusive dressing. Cutaneous reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.

None of the 5 animals in the Control group and none of the 10 animals in the test group showed a positive reaction to the exposure to the test substance at 10 % in PEG 400 or to PEG 400 alone after 24 or 48 hours.

No toxic symptoms were evident in the guinea pigs of the control or test group. No deaths occurred.

Based on the above mentioned findings in an adjuvant sensitization test in guinea pigs and in accordance to Commission Directive 96/54/EEC, Actinol has not to be classified and labelled as a skin sensitizer.
