Description of key information

Two studies on skin sensitisation potential are presented on structurally related substances as valid read across candidates: 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane, CAS Number 501410-94-2, EC Number 479-710-1 (OECD 406) and Iron(2+) dicyclopenta-2,4-dienide (Ferrocene), CAS Number 102-54-5, EC Number 203-039-3 (comparable to OECD 406).

In an OECD 406 study, 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane was found to be not sensitising to skin, the GHS criteria were not met.

In the case of iron (2 +) dicyclopenta-2,4 -dienide (ferrocene), CAS Number 102 -54 -5, EC Number 203 -039 -3, the skin sensitisation potential was investigated in a study which was comparable to to guideline OECD 406. Iron (2 +) dicyclopenta-2,4 -dienide (ferrocene) was found to be not sensitising to skin, the GHS criteria were not met.

Specific details on test material used for the study:
Read across data is presented from the structurally related substance, 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane, CAS Number 501410-94-2, EC Number 479-710-1. This substance bears a close similarity to 1,1''-isopropylidenediferrocene, CAS Number 12609-95-9, EC Number 235-719-0, the distinction being that the alkyl bridging functionality between the two ferrocene moieties is an octyl derivative as opposed to an isopropyl derivative.

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 100 %.


Signs of irritation during induction: No reaction on the skin of guinea pigs was observed.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
After the challenge with test item 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane in undiluted form a positive response was not observed in the animals of the test group.

Other observations:
No effects on mean body weight and body weight development were noted.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a study conducted according to OECD guideline 406, 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane was found to be not sensitising to the skin.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane, CAS Number 501410-94-2, EC Number 479-710-1was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 406.

An OECD 406 study conducted to GLP in compliance with agreed protocols, with no or minor deviations from standard test guidelines and/or minor methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of the relevant results was performed on 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane, CAS Number 501410-94-2, EC Number 479-710-1.

The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

This substance is considered to be sufficiently close in structural integrity to 1,1''-isopropylidenediferrocene, CAS Number 12609-95-9, EC Number 235-719-0 so as to justify valid read across.

Under the conditions of the study 1,1'-Bis(ferrocenyl)octane was found to be not sensitising to skin. The GHS criteria were not met.

Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of iron(2+) dicyclopenta-2,4-dienide (ferrocene), CAS Number 102-54-5, EC Number 203-039-3 was investigated in a study which was comparable to guideline OECD 406.

The study was assigned a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

This substance is considered to be sufficiently close in structural integrity to 1,1''-isopropylidenediferrocene, CAS Number 12609-95-9, EC Number 235-719-0 so as to justify valid read across.

Under the conditions of this study, Ferrocene was found to be non sensitising with 0 /20 postitive reactions. The GHS criteria are not met.
