MAIN STUDY

- Concentrations: intradermal injection (1%) ; epicutaneous occlusive application (50%)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 epicutaneous exposure
- Exposure period: 24 hours occlusive application
- Concentrations: 50% (w/w)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 hours
Challenge controls:
The control group (20 guinea-pigs) was treated similarly to the treated group, except the test material was replaced by distilled water.
A group of 10 guinea-pigs was treated with a positive control (DNCB: injection 0.1% (w/w) in propyleneglycol, topical induction: 1% (w/w) in propylene glycol, challenge: 0.05 and 0.025% (w/w) in propyleneglycol).
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)
Positive control results:
Positive controls produced the expected response: 10/10 reacted to 0.05% and 5/10 reacted to 0.025%.

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 50 %

Signs of irritation during induction: none

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: None

Other observations:
5 test group animals were found dead 24 hours after the topical induction application of the compound and 1 was sacrificed due to very poor conditions.

There was no conclusive evidence from histopathological examinations that the test material was responsible for the deaths. There was no indications of infectious disease.

4 test group animals were sacrificed before challenge due to infected injection sites.

Thus, 10 surviving test group animals were submitted to challenge application.

Only one reading is described in the study report (at 24 hours).

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information not classified Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
There was no evidence of skin sensitising reactions in the 10 treated animals that survived challenge application.
Executive summary:

The sensitizing potential of the test item GM102E was investigated in a test performed on female Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs according to the Magnusson and Kligman method. 

The test item was applied respectively at 1% (v/v) and 50% (v/v) in distilled water by intradermal and epicutaneous route for the induction exposure while epicutaneous route (occlusive) was used for the challenge exposure with a concentration of 50% (v/v) of test item. Those doses were decided after a range finding test.

For the test, 20 animals were used in the test group and another 20 guinea pigs were used in a control group. The lab provided background positive control data.

Positive controls produced the expected response: 10/10 reacted to 0.05% and 5/10 reacted to 0.025%.

Five test group animals were found dead 24 hours after the topical induction application of the compound and one was sacrificed due to very poor conditions. There was no conclusive evidence from histopathological examinations that the test material was responsible for the deaths. There was no indication of infectious disease. Four test group animals were sacrificed before challenge due to infected injection sites. 

Thus, 10 surviving test group animals were submitted to challenge application. None of these animals reacted positively to this topical application.

Based on these results and according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) or Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP), GM102E should not be classified for sensitization.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Migrated from Short description of key information:
No sensitising effects were observed in guinea pigs tested with GM102E with the Magnusson and Kligman method.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Only one reliable study available

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
No study available, and no specific alert or observation reported for the substance.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Considering that no sensitizing effects were observed in the study performed according to the Magnusson and Kligman method, GM102E is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP)
