Conclusions:
No potential to induce skin sensitisation is predicted for the target substance considering an adequate analogue source substance.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of the target substance is predicted based on an adequate and reliable in vivo study performed with a structural analogue source substance. In the Guinea Pig Maximisation Test (GPMT), no skin sensitisation was observed in any animal of the test group neither at the first nor at the second reading. Therefore, no hazard regarding skin sensitisation is predicted for the target substance. As explained in the analogue read-across justification, the differences in composition and molecular structure between the target and the source substances are unlikely to lead to differences in the skin sensitisation potential.

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

No data on skin sensitisation of isotridecanol, ethoxylated, < 2.5 EO (CAS No. 69011-36-5, EC No. 500-241-6) are available. In order to assess the skin sensitising potential, a study performed with the source substance alcohols, C12-13, ethoxylated, < 2.5 EO (CAS No. 66455-14-9, EC No. 500-165-3) is considered in an analogue read-across approach in accordance with Annex XI, Section 1.5, of the REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The available source data allow for an accurate hazard assessment of the target substance. A detailed justification of the read-across approach is provided in IUCLID section 13.

The skin sensitising potential was assessed with alcohols, C12-13, ethoxylated, < 2.5 EO (CAS No. 66455-14-9, EC No. 500-165-3) in a Guinea Pig Maximisation Test equivalent (GPMT) according to OECD guideline 406 (Shell, 1979). In this study ten guinea pigs per sex were induced intradermally with 0.1% test substance (w/v, in corn oil), followed by epicutaneous occlusive induction for 48 h with undiluted test substance seven days later. Two weeks later animals were challenged by epicutaneous occlusive exposure for 24 h to 50% test substance (w/v, in corn oil). 24 and 48 h after patch removal the application site was assessed for signs of local irritation. No dermal reactions were observed in any test animal at any time point. Hence, the test substance was evaluated to be not sensitising to the skin.

Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on skin sensitisation with an adequate structural analogue substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification. Based on an analogue read-across approach, isotridecanol, ethoxylated, < 2.5 EO (CAS No. 69011-36-5, EC No. 500-241-6) is predicted not to fulfil the classification criteria and is consequently not classified for skin sensitisation.
