Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: To determine by repetitive epidermal contact the potential of the test substance to induce primary or cumulative irritation and/or allergic contact sensitisation.
- Short description of test conditions: The upper back between the scapulae served as the treatment area. Approximately 0.2g of the substance was applied to the 1"x1" absorbent pad portion of a clear adhesive dressing. This was then applied to the appropriate treatment site to form a semi-occlusive patch. There were essentially two phases to the test, these were induction phase and challenge phase. The induction phase involved the initial application of the substance followed by the induction phase where a challenge patch was applied 2 weeks after the initial induction patch. The patch was then removed and the site scored at 24 and 72 hours post-application.
- Parameters analysed / observed: Erythma was scored numerically and if present any additional dermal sequalae was indicated.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
patch test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The HRIPT study presented is considered to be an adequate study to investigate the sensitisation potential of the substance and therefore a LLNA was not warranted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance did not indicate a potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitisation in a HPRIT.
Executive summary:

In a HRIPT test the substance did not indicate a potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitisation under the test conditions employed.
