Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:

- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- An Open Epicutaneous Test (OET) was performed on guinea pigs to assess the skin sensitization potential of test chemical
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of study:
- open epicutaneous test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- Currently no LLNA study is available for assessment. The Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) has been carried out as an animal test to predict human sensitization for over a decade and is recommended by international test guidelines such as OECD.

- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
1 day before starting the induction procedure, the threshold irritating concentration of the test material is estimated on the guinea pigs subsequently used for the experimental group, A single application of 0.025 ml of each test concentration (e.g, 100, 30, 10 and 3%) is simultaneously performed on one of the areas measuring 2 cm2 of the flank skin previously clipped and marked with a circular stamp. Reactions are read 24 h after the application of the test material. The minimal irritating and the maximal nonirritating concentrations are determined by an all-or-none criterion. The minimal irritating concentration is defined as the lowest one causing skin irritation. The maximal nonirritating concentration is defined as the highest one not causing macroscopic skin reactions in any of the animals. The estimation of the threshold concentration (minimal irritating and maximal nonirritating concentration) is essential for the evaluation of the allergenic capacity of the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not sensitizing
- Conclusions:
- It was observed that none of the guinea pigs induced contact sensitization at challenge concentration of 2%. Thus the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing on skin of guinea pigs at concentration of 2% in an Open Epicutaneous Test (OET).
- Executive summary:
An Open Epicutaneous Test (OET) was performed on guinea pigs to assess the skin sensitization potential of test chemical.
On day 1 during induction, 0.1 ml of the test chemical was applied at concentrations of 100%, 30%, 10%, 3%, 1%, or 0.3% in vehicle to an area measuring 8 cm2 on the clipped flank skin of the guinea pigs. The applications are repeated daily for 3 weeks or done 5 times weekly during 4 weeks, usually on the same skin sites. The application sites were left uncovered and the reactions, if continuous daily applications were performed, can be read 24 h after each application, or at the end of each week.
To determine whether or not contact sensitization was induced, all groups of guinea pigs previously treated for 21 days, as well as 10 untreated, or only pretreated with the vehicle, controls are tested on days 21 and 35 on the contralateral flank with the test material. This test was performed by applying with a pipette 0.025 ml of each concentration to skin areas measuring 2 cm2. The reactions were read after 24,48 and/or 72h.
It was observed that none of the guinea pigs induced contact sensitization at challenge concentration of 2%.Thus the test chemicalwas considered to be not sensitizing on skin of guinea pigs at concentration of 2% in an Open Epicutaneous Test (OET).
