Details on study design:
The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was performed in the nuchal region by injection of 10% of the test item in liquid paraffin and an emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline (FCA/0.9% NaCl, 1:1).
One week after the intradermal induction, the epidermal induction of sensitization was performed by topical application of 100% of the test item for
48 hours under occlusion. The skin of the animals had been pretreated with 10% sodium laurylsulfate (SLS) approximately 24 hours prior to
application of the test item.
The animals of the control group were intradermally induced with liquid paraffin and FCA/0.9% NaCl and epidermally induced with liquid paraffin
under occlusion following pretreatment with 10% SLS.
Two weeks after epidermal induction the test and control animals were challenged by epidermal application of 100% test item on the right flank, and no vehicle was applied on the left flank.

- Injection volume (Intradermal injections): 0.1 ml/site
- Volume of formulated or undiluted test item for epidermal applications: 0.2 to 0.3 ml on a filter paper patch;
The animal's fur was shaved with a fine clipper blade just prior to treatment. The filter paper treated with test item, vehicle or 1:1 mixture of
FCA/0.9% NaCl was covered by a strip of aluminium foil and firmly secured by an elastic plaster wrapped around the trunk of the animal and
secured with impervious adhesive tape.
The occlusive dressing was left in place for 24 hours (for the epidermal pretest and epidermal challenge) or 48 hours (for the epidermal induction).
The same patching method was used for the epidermal pretest, the epidermal induction and the epidermal challenge.

Skin reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde (historical data)
Positive control results:
Historical data from an evaluation experiment (Harlan Laboratories Study D65975 Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde)

Based on the above mentioned findings in an adjuvant sensitization test (Guinea PigMaximization test according to Magnusson & Kligman) and in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde was confirmed as skin sensitizer as 70% of the test animals responded to the challenge. The sensitivity and reliability of the experimental method was confirmed (see original study: Appendix I - Positive Control).

Epidermal Induction: No skin reactions were observed in any animal of the test group after epidermal treatment with 100% test item following pre-treatment with 10% SLS in paraffinum perliquidum. No skin reactions were observed in the control group after treatment with the vehicle following pre-treatment with 10% SLS in paraffinum perliquidum.

Challenge: No skin reactions were observed in any of the control (previously not exposed to the test item) and test animals after the challenge with 100% test item.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the above mentioned findings in an adjuvant sensitization test (Guinea Pig Maximization test according to Magnusson & Kligman) and in
accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Isopropylnaphthalene; Ruetasolv MP has not to be classified as a skin sensitizer.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Skin sensitisation

One valid study is available to assess the skin-sensitising potential of monoisopropylnaphthalene (MIPN, target substance). A study with bis(isopropyl)naphthalene (DIPN, a structure-analogue) served as supporting. In both studies, no sensitising potential has been demonstrated.

Sieber/Harlan 2013

Test results indicate that the test substance MIPN is not sensitising.

Sterner/IBR 1986e

In a valid guinea pig maximization test similar to OECD TG 406, slight erythemas were induced after challenge exposure in the control as well as in test group animals. There was no significant difference between control and test group. Thus, the result obtained with the structure-analogue DIPN provides supportive evidence for the absence of a sensitising potential of MIPB.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
In two studies one using the Guinea Pig Maximisation Test, no indication of a sensitisation potential of monoisopropylnaphthalene (MIPN, target substance) and bis(isopropyl)naphthalene (DIPN, structure-analogue) was observed.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
No evidence of a sensitising potential in GPMT assays with the target substance.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:
Migrated from Short description of key information:
No information available.
Not required under REACH.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In one valid study with guinea pigs, monoisopropylnaphthalene (MIPN) did not show a skin sensitising potential. According to criteria set in either Directive 67/548/EEC or Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, MIPN is not sensitising. Classification is not required.
