- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Eight animals were used for the preliminary test: 6 animals for the topical administration and 2 animals for the intracutaneous administration.
Six concentrations of the test material were tested by intracutaneous injection employing a 72-hour observation period: 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 or 10% suspensions in corn oil. Furthermore, six concentrations of the test material were tested by topical application to the shaved skin: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 75% suspensions in corn oil (48-hour or 24-hour exposure).
Results:
- intracutaneous injection: no skin reactions were observed up to the concentration of 1%. The concentration of 5% revealed a discrete or patchy erythemal 24 and 48 hours after start of exposure. A concentration of 10% revealed a moderate and confluent erythema 24 hours and a discrete or patchy erythema 48 and 72 hours after start of exposure.
- topical application: no skin reactions were observed at any concentration and any duration of exposure.
Hence, it was decided to use a 10% suspension for the 1st (intracutaneous) induction stage, a 75% suspension for the 2nd (topical) induction stage and for the challenge in the main study.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and topical exposure)
- Site: shoulder region
- Frequency of applications: three intradermal injections (0.1 mL) were given once (day 0) and one week later (day 7) the same site was treated with a topical application (75% suspension of the test item). One day before the topical application was conducted (day 6), the fur was shaved from the application area and the exposed skin was coated with 0.5 mL sodium lauryl sulfate 10% in vaseline in order to induce local irritation, since a 75% concentration of the test material in corn oil was non-irritating in the 48-hour exposure to the skin of the test animals in the preliminary experiment.
- Duration: topical application lasted 48 hours
- Concentrations:
Test animals:
Intradermal injection:
i) Freund's complete adjuvant (diluted 1:1 with 0.9% NaCl)
ii) 10% suspension of the test item in corn oil
iii) 10% suspension of the test item in corn oil in a 1 + 1 mixture (v/v) Freund's complete adjuvant/physiological saline
Topical application:
75% suspension of the test item in corn oil
Control animals:
Intradermal injection:
i) Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water in the ratio 1:1.
ii) corn oil
iii) corn oil in a 1 + 1 mixture (v/v) Freund's complete adjuvant/physiological saline
Topical application:
corn oil was applied
- Evaluation (hr after induction): skin reaction results of the first induction expousre were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours, of the second induction at 48 and 72 hours after start of exposure
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE (procedure for test animals and control animals)
- No. of exposures: 1 (topical application two weeks (day 21) after topical induction)
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Site: flank region
- Concentrations: 75% suspension of the test item in corn oil (left flank) and vehicle (right flank)

The body weight was analysed statistically using STUDENT's t-test (p ≤ 0.01).
- Pathology: no necropsy was performed. - Challenge controls:
- 10 male guinea pigs were used as control group.
Challenge dose: 75% suspension of the test item in corn oil - Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (induction exposures: 10% (v/v)) (intradermal exposure) and undiluted (topical exposure); topical challenge exposure: 0.01%.)
- Positive control results:
- Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs treated with α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde in sesame oil exhibited a sensitising reaction in all animals in form of a discrete or patchy erythema or a moderate and confluent erythema 48 hours after start of exposure.

Reference
INDUCTION EXPOSURE:
- intracutaneous induction: 10% suspension of the test item in corn oil revealed a moderate and confluent erythema or discrete or patchy erythema 24 hours and a discrete or patchy erythema 48 hours after administration in all 20 test item-treated animals.
- topical induction: 75% suspension of the test item in corn oil/animal were not irritating to the shaved skin in the preliminary experiment. Hence, in the main study the skin was coated with sodium lauryl sulfate on the day before stage 2 induction in order to induce a local irritation. This treatment resulted in a discrete or patchy erythema 48 to 72 hours after start of exposure in all 30 animals.
CHALLENGE EXPOSURE:
The challenge with 2 mL of a 75% suspension of the test item in corn oil/animal revealed no skin irritation in any animal and, thus, the test item had no sensitising properties.
The vehicle control revealed no skin reactions.
OBSERVATIONS:
- Body weight: body weight gain of the animals treated with the test item was within the range of the vehicle control during the experiment.
- Clinical signs: behaviour remained unchanged during the course of the study.
- Mortality: no animal was found dead or was sacrificed in extremis during the study.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
A standard Guinea pig maximisation test according to OECD Guideline 406 (1992) ( k_Haferkorn_2015) conducted with the test substance is considered to be reliable without restrictions. The results showed that the test item has no skin sensitisation potential.
An expert statement why a GMPT was performed instead of an LLNA is provided as attachment below.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin sensitisation
The test item has no skin sensitisation potential and does not require classification as skin sensitiser according to Directive 67/548/EEC and its subsequent amendments or according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations.
