Description of key information
Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical. Based on the summarized studies,it can be concluded that the testchemical is unable to cause skin sensitization and considered as not sensitizing. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

- Executive summary:
Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:
A Patch test was conducted to determine the dermal sensitization potential of similar read across chemical test chemical in humans. 8 patients were tested with the test chemical in concentrations ranging from 5 to 20 per cent in petrolatum, and observed for signs of irritation. (duration not specified). In five of eight patients tested with the test chemical, the reactions were negative for skin sensitization. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
The above result was supported by the Buehler test conducted on read across chemical using 30 female Pirbright albino guinea pigs in treated group and 10 in control group. Doses were selected on the bases of preliminary study using 6 animals. In induction phase, induction given on day 1, using 4 % concentration in water by topical application as2 x 2 cm cellulose patch to the clipped skin of the left flank. The patch was covered with an occlusive dressing for 6 hours and removed afterwards. The second induction given on day 8 and third on day 15 using same procedure on day first. During the induction phase, the skin sites were examined for local effects 24 hours after each treatment. In challenge phase, on day 29 test substance 1% concentration in same vehicle applied on a 2 x 2 cm patch to the clipped skin of the right flank and covered with an occlusive dressing for 6 hour and evaluated 24 and 48hr after removal of occlusive dressing .All animals were observed daily for signs of systemic toxicity. Body weights were recorded on days 1 and 31.No skin sensitizing reaction observed after challenge application also no clinical effects were observed. Body weight development of the treated group was not different from that of the control group. During the induction phase, treated animals showed slight to well-defined erythema and very slight oedema at the treated skin area. After challenge, skin reactions were observed neither in the treated group nor in the control group. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not skin sensitizing in guinea pig.
The above results were further supported by a Guinea pig Maximization assay performed on read across chemical. The study was performed as per EPA 540/9-82-025 Guidelines. 20 female Pirbright White guinea pigs were used for the study. 0.9% NaCl Solution was used as a vehicle. The following concentrations were used for the induction and challenge exposure.During the first phase of induction, intracutaneous injections were given to the test animals and injection sites were investigated till day 7. On day 9, 0.5ml of the test substance preparation was applied to a cellulose patch of 2x4 cm. This patch covered the area of the intradermal injection sites. An occlusive dressing with impermeable foil and an elastic bandage sealed the application site for 48 hours. At the end of 48 hours of exposure, the occlusive bandages were removed and the test sites were observed for signs of erythema and edema. The animals were rested for 10-11 days then subjected to challenge exposure. 0.5ml of test substance preparation were applied to a cellulose patch and placed onto the clipped skin of the flank. An occlusive dressing with impermeable foil and an elastic bandage sealed the application site for 24 hours. 24 hours later the occlusive patches were removed and the test sites were assessed for dermal irritation. Ten percent of the animals of treatment group demonstrated a positive reaction after the challenge exposure (classification criteria – 30%). Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
Based on the above summarized studies for target chemical and its structurally and functionally similar read across substances,it can be concluded that the test chemical is unable to cause skin sensitization and considered as non-skin sensitizer. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The skin sensitization potential of test substance andits structurally and functionally similar read across substanceswere observed in various studies. From the results obtained from these studies it is concluded that the chemical is not likely to cause skin sensitization and hence can be classified as non-skin sensitizer.
