Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: For the pre-maximum non-irritant concentration test, 2 females were injected with 0.78-25% test substance in olive oil. They were then exposed to 7.5-60% test substance in paraffin oil. No necrosis was noted after the intradermal injection. No skin reaction was noted after the topical exposure.

For the maximum non-irritant concentration test, 3 males for induced by intradermal injection with the test substance in olive oil, and then topically with the test substance in paraffin oil. After 16 days, a challenge exposure was done by topical exposure under occlusive dressing at 7.5%-60% test sustance in paraffin oil. No skin reaction was observed. Therefore, 60% was chosen as the maximum dose for the main study.

Conclusions:
The test substance is not sensitising to skin.
Executive summary:

11 guinea pigs were tested for the skin sensitization of the test substance in the GPMT. 5 animals were used as controls. The test animals were intradermally injected with 1.56% test substance, and a week later topically exposed to 60% test substance. After 16 days, a challenge exposure was done topically with 30 and 60% test substance. No reaction was observed after the challenge exposure. The test substance is not sensitizing to skin.

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

The test substance was tested for its skin sensitising potential in a Guinea pig maximisation test according to OECD guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP (Richeux, 2006). 11 guinea pigs of both sexes were used for the test group; 5 animals were used as controls. Based on a range-finding test and for purpose of induction, the test animals were intradermally injected with 1.56% test substance in olive oil, and a week later topically exposed to 60% test substance after pre-treatment of the skin with SDS. After 16 days, a challenge exposure was done in test and control groups topically with 30 and 60% test substance under occlusive conditions for 24 h. No skin reaction was observed 24 or 48 hrs after the challenge exposure. Therefore, the test substance is not sensitising to skin under the conditions of this test.

 

Further, the skin sensitising potential was investigated in a Guinea pig maximisation test according to OECD guideline 406 and in compliance with GLP (Prinsen, 1997). For induction, 5 guinea pigs of each sex were exposed to 1% test substance in water intradermally, and a week later topically exposed to 30% test substance in water under occlusive conditions after pre-treatment of the skin with SDS. 3 guinea pigs of each sex were used as controls. Two weeks after the final induction exposure, the animals in both the test and control groups were exposed to 10% and 30% of the test substance topically under occlusive conditions for challenge. No skin reaction indicative of sensitization was seen 24 and 48 h after the challenge exposure. Therefore, the test substance is not sensitising to skin under the conditions of this test.

Respiratory sensitisation

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

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on skin and eye irritation do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
