PRELIMINARY TESTS:
Maximum Non Necrotizing Concentration (M.N.N.C.) determination: 2 male guinea pigs were used. The test item was injected by intradermal route at the following concentrations: 100%, diluted at 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25% and 3.125% in olive oil. No necrosis has been observed, at the concentration of 3.125%, the first induction has been carried out by intradermal injection at the same concentration.
Pre-Maximum Non Irritant Concentration (Pre -M.N.I.C.) determination: 2 male guinea pigs were used. The test item was applied under an occlusive dressing during 24 hours, at the following concentrations 100%, diluted at 50%, 25% and 12.5% in paraffin oil. 24 hours after the removal of the occlusive dressings, no cutaneous reaction was recorded. In view of these results, the concentration selected was 100% for the 2nd induction of the main study and the MNIC determination began at this concentration of 100%.
Maximum Non Irritant Concentration (M.N.I.C.) determination: 3 female guinea pigs were used. After induction by intradermal injection with olive oil and by topical application with paraffin oil and a 17-day rest phase, the challenge phase under occlusive dressing for 24 hours consists in a single topical application of the test item at the following concentrations: 100%, diluted at 50%, 25% and 12.5% in paraffin oil. 24 hours after removal of the occlusive dressings, no cutaneous reaction was recorded. In view of this result, the concentrations selected were 100% (MNIC) and 50% (1/2 MNIC) for the challenge phase.

Historical data

Sensitising potential assessment: No macroscopic cutaneous reactions attributable to allergy was recorded during the examination following the removal of the occlusive dressing (challenge phase) from the animals of the treated group with the test item. No cutaneous intolerance reaction was recorded in animals from the negative control group.

Weight evolution: No abnormality was recorded in the weight growth of both groups.

Mortality: No mortality occurred during this study.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test substance is not classified as sensitiser according to the criteria of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the GHS.
Executive summary:

In a Magnusson & Kligman maximisation study (GPMT) performed according to OECD Guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP, Guinea pigs were treated as follows:

After induction (intradermic injection at 3.125% and topical application at 100%) of 10 Guinea Pigs of treated group with the test substance and a 17 -day rest phase, the challenge phase, under occlusive dressing for 24 hours, consisted to a single topical application of the test item at 100% and diluted at 50% in paraffin oil. The test concentrations for the main study were determined from a preliminary study.

 

No macroscopic cutaneous reactions attributable to allergy was recorded during the examination following the removal of the occlusive dressing (challenge phase) from the animals of the treated group with the test item. No cutaneous intolerance reaction was recorded in animals from the negative control group.

 

The sensitivity of the guinea-pig was checked with known sensitiser i.e., α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde indicating the validity of the study. 

Under the test conditions, test substance is not classified as sensitiser according to the criteria of the Regulation EC No. 1272 /2008 (CLP) and of the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin sensitisation endpoint.

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

A key study was identified (Phycher, 2006). In this dermal sensitisation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 406 and in compliance with GLP, the test material was tested in ten Guinea Pigs (5 males and 5 females) using the Magnusson and Kligman method (10 treated animals + 5 controls). The preliminary study determined the concentration to be used for the induction and challenge phases of the main study. The test material diluted in olive oil at 3.125% was administered by injection for intradermal induction. On Day 7, topical induction was performed with the test material as supplied, 24h after brushing with 0.5 mL of sodium lauryl sulfate at 10%. For the challenge, on Day 27, the test material was tested at 50 diluted in paraffin oil and at 100%.

The historical positive control α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde produced skin sensitisation. The test system was therefore considered to be valid.

In both groups, no clinical signs and no deaths were noted during the study. The body weight gain of the treated animals was similar to that of the control animals. After the challenge application, no cutaneous reaction was noted. The overall sensitisation rate was 0%.

Under the test conditions, the test material is not a skin sensitizer.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Harmonised classification:

The substance has no harmonised classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).

Self classification:

Based on the available data no additional self-classification is proposed according to the CLP and to the GHS.

No data was available for respiratory sensitisation. However, this substance is not a skin sensitizer, therefore according to Figure R.7.3 -2 of the Chapter R.7 (V 4.1 - October 2015) the chemical is not considered as a respiratory sensitiser.
