Details on study design:
INDUCTION PROCEDURES
The induction was a two-stage operation. First, intradermal injections (into the neck region); second, closed patch exposure over the injection sites one week later.

First Induction, intradermal application:
Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 mL per injection) were made simultaneously into the shaved neck of the guinea pigs as follows:
- adjuvant and saline (1:1)
- test compound in physiological saline
- test compound in the adjuvant saline mixture
Concentration of in physiological saline and adjuvant mixture: 1%

Second Induction, epidermal application:
One week later the test substance was incorporated in vaseline and applied on a filter paper patch to the neck of the animals (patch 2 x 4 cm; occluded administration for 48 hours). The application sites were pretreated the day before with 10% sodium lauryl sulfate (open application). Dose of application: approx. 0.4 g paste of 30% test substance in vaseline.

CHALLENGE
Two weeks after the epidermal induction application the animals were tested on the flank with test substance in vaseline and the vehicle alone (patch 2 x 2 cm; occluded administration for 24 hours). Dose of application: approx. 0.2 g paste of 10% test substance in vaseline. The concentrations of the test compound for the induction and challenge periods were determined on separate animals.

CONTROL GROUP
A control group was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period.

IRRITATION POTENTIAL
Separate animals were treated with test item for the evaluation of the primary irritation threshold concentration. The tested concentrations of 10 and 30% of test item in vaseline did not induce erythema reactions. 10% was used as a sub-irritant concentration for the challenge application, to exclude nonspecific reactions in the adjuvant treated animals (s. Magnussen, 1980).

OBSERVATIONS and RECORDS
Twenty four hours after removing the dressings, the challenge reactions were graded according to the Draize scoring scale.
A second evaluation was made 48 hours after removing the dressings. The sensitizing potential of the test compound was classified according to the grading of Magnusson and Kligman. The body weight was recorded at start and end of the test.
Challenge controls:
A control group was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test compound (at least 10 animals) to control the maximal sub-irritant concentration of the test compound in adjuvant treatedanimals.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Paraphenylene-diamine or Potassium-dichromate.
Positive control results:
The sensitivity of the strain is checked every six months with Paraphenylene-diamine or Potassium-dichromate. The results of the latest reliability check was not provided in the report.

Executive summary:

Method

A sensitization test in albino guinea pigs was performed to determine the contact allergenic potency of the test compound in albino guinea pigs. This test was based on the OECD Guideline No. 406, adopted May 12, 1981, by the OECD council.

Results

Under the experimental conditions employed, 0 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings.

Conclusion

According to the CLP Regulation, a substance is classified as skin sensitiser when in the Guinea pig maximisation test the response of at least 30 % of the animals is considered as positive.

In the current experiment none of the animals tested showed any skin reaction.

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

There are no data available on the skin sensitisation potential of CAS 12004488-68-5. In order to fulfil the standard information requirements, a read-across from structurally related substances was conducted.

A Guinea pig maximisation test was performed with the structural analogue substance CAS#16470-24-9 according to OECD Guideline 406 and GLP. 10 test and 10 control animals (Pirbright White Strain) were induced intradermally with 1% test substance (88.1% pure) diluted in physiological saline on both sides of the spine with and without Freud's complete adjuvant. 7 days later a 30% test substance in vaseline was used for the epidermal induction for 48 hours. After 14 days the animals were challenged by epidermal induction of the sheared flank skin with test substance diluted to 10% in vaseline. 24 and 48 hours after termination of challenge exposure skin readings revealed no indications for a skin sensitising potential of the test substance.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
Skin sensitisation: not sensitising (OECD 406, GLP, analogue approach)

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Study conducted according to internationally accepted testing guidelines and performed according to GLP.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:
Justification for selection of respiratory sensitisation endpoint:
Study not required according to Annex VII-X of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on read-across from the structurally similar substances, the available data on skin sensitisation do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
