- Reliability:

- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: The study is performed in accordance with US Guidelines, but prior to GLP. As the substance is a cosmetic ingredient no further animal testing should be performed.
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- A group of 10 white male guinea-pigs weighing 300-500 g were identified and housed individually. The hair was removed from their backs with an electric clipper prior to initiation of study and whenever necessary throughout the study. They subsisted on commercial rabbit pellets,greens, carrots and water.
A 0.1% solution or suspension of the test material in mazola corn oil was injected intra-cutaneously, using sterile 26-gauge hypodermic needles and sterile tuberculin syringes. The injections were perfomed three times weekly, until a total of ten had been made. These ten sensitising injections were performed at random in the shaved back areas. The eleventh (re-test) injection was made just below the region of the ten sensitising injections. Mazola corn oil was employed as a control and was injected in the same amounts as the test material.
The first injection for each test animal consisted of 0.05 mL, while the remaining none injections consisted of 0.1 mL each. Two weeks after the tenth injection, a challenge (re-test) injection was performed using 0.5 mL of a freshly prepared solution or suspension.
Twenty-four hours after each injection, scores were recorded for the diameter, height and redness of the reactions (if any). A comparison of the reaction following the challenge (re-test) injection was made with the average score for the ten sensitising injections. - GLP compliance:

Test Guidance
Landsteiner and Jacobs Guinea-pig sensitisation study
Method
A group of 10 white male guinea-pigs weighing 300-500 g were identified and housed individually. The hair was removed from their backs with an electric clipper prior to initiation of study and whenever necessary throughout the study. They subsisted on commercial rabbit pellets,greens, carrots and water.
A 0.1% solution or suspension of the test material in mazola corn oil was injected intra-cutaneously, using sterile 26-gauge hypodermic needles and sterile tuberculin syringes. The injections were perfomed three times weekly, until a total of ten had been made. These ten sensitising injections were performed at random in the shaved back areas. The eleventh (re-test) injection was made just below the region of the ten sensitising injections. Mazola corn oil was employed as a control and was injected in the same amounts as the test material.
The first injection for each test animal consisted of 0.05 mL, while the remaining none injections consisted of 0.1 mL each. Two weeks after the tenth injection, a challenge (re-test) injection was performed using 0.5 mL of a freshly prepared solution or suspension.
Twenty-four hours after each injection, scores were recorded for the diameter, height and redness of the reactions (if any). A comparison of the reaction following the challenge (re-test) injection was made with the average score for the ten sensitising injections.
Results
No sensitisation responses were recorded after any of the ten sensitising injections of a 0.1% solution of the test material in corn oil or after the challenge (re-test) injection. No sensitisation responses were seen in control animals dosed concurrently with the vehicle, corn oil.
Conclusion
The test material elicited a 0/10 sensitisation rate in a guinea-pig study. The substance is not a skin sensitiser under the conditions of the study. In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance for skin sensitisation is not required.
Reference
No sensitisation responses were recorded after any of the ten sensitising injections or after the challenge (re-test).
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
