Day 0, 7, 14
Adequacy of induction:
not specified
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
other: 100% test substance
Concentration / amount:
0.5 mL
Day(s)/duration:
Day 27
Adequacy of challenge:

No. of animals per dose:
20 for treament, 10 for negative and positive control group
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
-Dose level: the concentration of test substance were 4 types, 50% (v/v), 25%(v/v), 12.5%(v/v) including the highest concentration [100%; test substance] with vehicles by using a common ratio 2.
-Determination of dose levels: in the preliminary test using two animals per concentration, skin reaction were not observed at 100% concentration (test substance itself). Based on this result, concentration of 100% concentration was chosen for induction and challenge phase of the main test.


MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- Exposure period: 6 hour , Day 0, 7, 14
- Test groups: 100% test substance
- Control group: D.W. and 1 %(w/v) DNCB
- Site: the fur on one flank was closely with a hair clipper

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 27
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 100% test substance
- Control group: D.W. and 1 %(w/v) DNCB
- Site: test area (the fur on one flank was closely with a hair clipper)

Challenge controls:
Negative control: 100% test substance
Positive control: 1%(w/v) DNCB
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
DNCB
Positive control results:
In the positive control group, skin reaction of erythema was shown and sensitization index (the mean score of skin reaction) was 1.1 (24 hours) and 0.6 (48 hours). Also, the frequency index (sensitization) was 80.0% (24 hours) and 60.0% (48 hours).

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The study was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitization of test item in guinea by Buehler test according to OECD 406 (1992). Parameters measured during the study period were mortality, clinical signs, body weight changes and skin reaction. The following results were obtained:

 

-         No treatment-related mortality was observed during the study period.

-         No treatment related clinical signs were observed in any treated animals.

-         All living animals in treatment group showed a normal increase of body weight.

-         At the 24 and 48 hours after challenge with test substance of 100%, the sensitization index (mean score of skin reaction) and frequency index (sensitization rate) were 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 % and 0.0% at 24 and 48 hours for the test substance. In positive control, the sensitization index (mean score of skin reaction) and frequency index (sensitization rate) were 1.1, 0.6 and 80.0%, 60.0% at 24 and 48 hours after challenge, respectively.

These results indicate that the test item is considered to have no skin sensitizing potency in guinea pigs by Buehler test under the conditions of this study.

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

Justification for classification or non-classification

Buehler test: negative.

Therefore, according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (amendment 286/2011), table 3.4.2, this substance should not be classified for skin sensitisation endpoint.
