- Duration: no data
- Concentrations: 0.1% for the intradermal injection, 10% for the topical application

- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the test item trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid) is not classified as Skin sensitiser according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
- Executive summary:
In a non-GLP skin sensitisation study performed similarly to the OECD No. 406 (screening test), Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were exposed to trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid) diluted in sterile water (vehicle). In a preliminary study the skin irritation potential of the test item was assessed in one animal after an intradermal injection with Freund’s complete adjuvant and on two animals following a topical application. Six days after an intradermal injection, the test item from 1% to 10% induced necrosis of the skin. At 0.1 and 0.5% of test item erythema was observed. The concentration of 0.1% was chosen for the first induction stage as only a slight erythema reaction was observed (score 1). Seven days after a topical application of sodium lauryl sulphate (to promote the skin irritation) followed by a topical application of the test item diluted in water, no signs of irritation was observed at 1and 5%. At 10% a slight irritation was observed, therefore this concentration was chosen for the second induction stage.
In the main study performed on 5 animals for the test group and 3 animals for the control group, three test sites were tested in each animal. In the first induction stage intradermal injections of Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA), or of the test item (0.1%) with FCA, or of the test item (0.1%) in vehicle were performed on each animal. One week later, the animals were pre-treated with sodium lauryl sulphate (to promote a skin irritation) and then topically exposed to the test item at 10% in sterile water. Two weeks following this second induction stage, animals were challenged by a topical application of the test item (1%) in water. 24 and 48 hrs after the challenge, no skin reaction was observed in any animal of the test group or of the control group. The body weight gain was comparable in the test animals and the control animals.
In conclusion, under the test conditions, the test item trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid) is not classified as skin sensitiser according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
This study is considered as acceptable as it satisfies the criteria of the OECD guideline No.406 (screening test).

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
One study was available and was identified as a key study (reliability 2 according to Klimisch reliability). This study was performed similarly to the OECD No. 406 (screening test, non GLP) (Longobardi, 2003). Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were exposed to trifluoromethanesulphonic acid diluted in sterile water (vehicle). In a preliminary study the skin irritation potential of the test item was assessed in one animal after an intradermal injection with Freund’s complete adjuvant and on two animals following a topical application. Six days after an intradermal injection, the test item from 1% to 10% induced necrosis of the skin. At 0.1 and 0.5% of test item erythema was observed. The concentration of 0.1% was chosen for the first induction stage as only a slight erythema reaction was observed (score 1). Seven days after a topical application of sodium lauryl sulphate (to promote the skin irritation) followed by a topical application of the test item diluted in water, no signs of irritation were observed at 1and 5%. At 10% a slight irritation was observed, therefore this concentration was chosen for the second induction stage.
In the main study performed on 5 animals for the test group and 3 animals for the control group, three test sites were tested in each animal. In the first induction stage intradermal injections of Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA), or of the test item (0.1%) with FCA, or of the test item (0.1%) in vehicle were performed on each animal. One week later, the animals were pre-treated with sodium lauryl sulphate (to promote a skin irritation) and then topically exposed to the test item at 10% in sterile water. Two weeks following this second induction stage, animals were challenged by a topical application of the test item (1%) in water. 24 and 48 hrs after the challenge, no skin reaction was observed in any animal of the test group or of the control group. The body weight gain was comparable in the test animals and the control animals.
In conclusion, under the test conditions, trifluoromethanesulphonic acid is considered as not a skin sensitiser.

- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin sensitisation:
Based on the classification criteria of Annex VI Directive 67/548/EEC or EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP), and given the absence of positive reactions in a guinea-pig maximisation test (screening test), trifluoromethanesulphonic acid is not classified as a skin sensitizer.
Respiratory sensitisation:
No data available. Therefore, no classification is possible due to lack of data.
