MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Intradermal application (day 0)
- No. of exposures: 1
- Test groups:
(1) 0.1 mL FCA (1 + 1).
(2) 0.1 mL per side of the solution 0.5% test substance
(3) 0.1 mL per side of the solution 0.5% test substance experiment in FCA (1 + 1).
- Control group:
(1) 0.1 mL FCA (1 + 1).
(2) 0.1 mL per side of the solution of the vehicle
(3) 0.1 mL per side of the solution of the vehicle in FCA (1 + 1)
- Site: Ieft and right shoulder

Topical application (day 7)
- No. of exposures: 1
- Exposure period: 48 h
- Test groups: 35 % (w/w) in vehicle
- Control group: vehicle
- Site: same as for intradermal induction

As the applied test substance concentration was slightly irritating, no pretreatment to generate local irritation was required.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: left flank: 5 % (w/w) in vehicle in Duhring chamber; right flank: vehicle in Duhring chamber
- Control group: left flank: 5 % (w/w) in vehicle in Duhring chamber; right flank: vehicle in Duhring chamber
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 + 48 h
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2-Mercaptobenzothiazole

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
In this study, Undecylenamidopropyl Betaine is not a dermal sensitiser.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitisation study according to OECD TG 406, 1992 with Undecylenamidopropyl Betaine (84% a.i.) in filter-sterilised tap water, female Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were tested using the Maximization test method. Positive control substance was 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole with a sensitisation rate of 90%.

In the main experiment ten animals were treated intradermally with a 0.5% (w/w) solution of the test substance in vehicle; for the dermal induction a 35% (w/w) concentration of the test substance in vehicle was used (= test group). Further five female animals were treated similarly - with the exception that they received only the vehicle instead of the test substance (= control group).

On day 21 of the application period the challenge application was performed on all control and test group animals. Duhring chambers with a 5% (w/w) solution of the test substance in vehicle were used. 

Besides slight crust formation at the injection sides after intradermal application with FCA no symptoms of systemic toxicity or other toxic reactions were observed at any time during the study. Body weight development of the animals was positive and within normal ranges.

In the challenge no visible changes (no erythema and no edema) were observed at any time point; i.e, there was no positive challenge result in the test and the control group animals. Thus, the sensitisation rate was 0%.

In this study, Undecylenamidopropyl Betaine is not a dermal sensitiser.
