Details on study design:
Preliminary study conducted to determine concentrations for the main study. Induction of four animals was by intradermal injection of the test material at 1%, 5%, 10% or 25% to deteremine the concentration for intredermal induction. Two animals were treatments with undiluted test material, and three preparations of the the test material at 75%, 50% and 25% v/v in arachis oil having been intradermally injected with Freund's complete adjuvant 10 days previously to determine the cocnentrations for topical induction. Two animals were tested with undiluted test material and 75% (w/v) test material in arachis oil occlusively following inducation as per the main study control animals to determine the concentrations for the topical challenge.

For the main test, shortly before treatment, the hair was removed from an area approximately 4 cm x 6 cm on the shoulder region using clippers. A row of three injections was made on each side of the mid line:
i Freund's Complete adjuvant and distilled water at a ratio of 1:1
ii Test material in arachis oil at 10% (w/v)
iii Test matieral in arachis oil at 10% (w/v) in a 1:1 prepation of Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus arachis oil for the test animals or Freunds Complete Adjuvant plus arachis oil in the ratio of 1:1 for the control animals

On Day 6, the nuchal region was clipped and shaved and 0.5 mL of sodium laury sulphate (10 w/w in petrolatum) was applied to provide an inflammatory response. The treatment sites were non-occluded.

On Day 7, the same area on the shoulder region used for the intradermal induction was clipped again and treated with a topical application of undiluted teat material (test animals) or with nothing (control animals). The undiluted test article (0.2 to 0.3 mL) was applied on filter paper which was held in place by a strip of surgical adhesive tape and covered with an overlapping lengtnh of aluminium foil. The same procedure was followed for the control anaimsls, but nothing was included in the filter paper for this group. The patch and foil were furthed secured by a strip of elastic adhesive bandage wound in a double layer around the torso of the animal. The occlusive dressing was kept in palce for 48 hours. Erythematous reactions were quantified one and twenty-four hours followng removal of the patches.

On Day 21, shortly before treatment, an area approximately 5 cm x 7 cm was clipped free of hair. Undiluted test material (0.1 to 0.2 mL) was applied to the shorn right flank of each animal on a square of filter paper. This was held in place by a strip of surgical adhesive tape. The test material at a concentration of 75% (v/v) in arachis oil was also applied to separate skin in the right shorn flank of each animal. The vehcile alone was applied to the shorn left flank of each animal. The patches were occluded with an overlapping length of aluminium foild and secured by a strip of elastic adhesive bandage wound in a double layer around the torso of each animal.

The dressings were removed after 24 hours. The challenge sites were swabbed with cotton wool soaked in diethyl ether to removed residual test material.

Prior to the 24-hur observation, the hair of the test sites was removed by clippers. The skin was evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after challenge dressing removal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
None of the animals showed evidence of sensitisation 24 or 48 hours after a topical challenge.
Executive summary:

In a skin sensitisation study using the Guinea Pig Maximization Test method according to OECD 406, 10 female guinea pigs assigned to the test group were induced by intradermal injections with a 10% formulation of the test material 1,3-propanediol, 2,2- bis(hydroxymethyl) -, allyl ether in arachis oil. In addition, these guinea pigs were topically induced on Day 7 with undiluted test material. Along with the test animals, a group of 10 negative control female animals, previously not induced with the test material but having undergone intradermal and topical induction in the absence of test material, were challenged topically for 24 hours with neat test material and 75% (v/v) test material in arachis oil. Skin examinations at 24 and 48 hours after the completion of the challenge exposure indicated no positive sensitisation reactions in the test or negative control groups. Based on the results of this study, 1,3-propanediol, 2,2- bis(hydroxymethyl) -, allyl ether was considered not to be a skin sensitiser.
