Pretests
*Intradermal Induction:
The concentration for the intradermal injections was selected on account of the solubility of the test article in standard vehicles and its local and systemic tolerability in a pretest. The following concentration of test article has been used for intradermal injection:
5 % in physiological saline (w/v).
Since 5 % FAT 20028/D in physiological saline could be injected and was well tolerated, this concentration was used for the intradermal induction.

*Epidermal Applications (induction and challenge):
The concentrations for the epidermal applications were selected on account of the primary irritation potential of the test article. The following concentrations of FAT 20028/D have been examined on separate animals for the determination of the maximum subirritant concentration
- 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 % in physiological saline.
- 50 % was the highest possible concentration of the test article in physiological saline.
- Reactions were observed with 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 % FAT 20028/D in physiological saline.

Test and control group:
- 1 % FAT 20028/D in physiological saline
- physiological saline only
Positive control substance(s):
no
Remarks:
However, 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole used to check he sensitivity of the strain once or twice a year

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The sensitivity of the strain is checked once or twice a year with a known mild to moderate sensitiser, such as mercaptobenzothiazole, hexyl cinnamic aldehyde or potassiumdichromate.

Any other information on results incl. tables

There were no effects on body weights because of the treatment. Scaling was observed in one male 48 h after removing the dressings. Under the experimental conditions employed, 5 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 h after removing the dressings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 20028/D showed a weak grade of skin-sensitising (contact allergenic) potential in albino guinea pigs, however not considered as skin sensitiser as per CLP classification.
Executive summary:

This sensitisation test in albino guinea pigs was performed to determine the contact allergenic potency of FAT 20028/D in albino guinea pigs. This test was based on the OECD Guideline No. 406, adopted May 12, 1981, adapted July 17, 1992, by the OECD council, and on Annex V, Part B of council Directive 67/548/EEC (Commission Directive 92/69/EEC of July 31, 1992. This study has been performed in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) in Switzerland.

The concentration for the intradermal injections was selected on account of the solubility of the test article in standard vehicles and its local and systemic tolerability in a pretest. The following concentration of test article has been used for intradermal injection:

5 % in physiological saline (w/v).

Since 5 % FAT 20028/D in physiological saline could be injected and was well tolerated, this concentration was used for the intradermal induction.

*Epidermal Applications (induction and challenge)

- 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 % in physiological saline.

- 50 % was the highest possible concentration of the test article in physiological saline.

- Reactions were observed with 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 % FAT 20028/D in physiological saline.

Test and control group:

- 1 % FAT 20028/D in physiological saline
