The data on the individual constituents CHA/MDI/CHA (EC 406-370-3) and ODA/MDI/ODA (EC 406-690-3) for physicochemical, environmental fate, ecotoxicological and mammalian toxicological endpoints are very similar to the data available for the different compositions of the multi-constituent or represent the outer boundaries of the data on the multi-constituent. Hence, they confirm that the different compositions are expected to have similar properties for physicochemical, environmental fate, ecotoxicological and mammalian toxicological endpoints.

- PRIMARY IRRITATION EXPERIMENT:
A primary irritation study was conducted in order to select test item concentrations suitable for the induction and challenge phase in the main study.
One animals was treated with 0.5 mL test item with a concentration of 50% (w/w). Four further animals were treated with 0.05 mL of a 50%, 25%, 10% and 5% (w/w) test item concentration.
- Epidermal application: Test item in corn oil was applied the shaved left flank using a Metalline patch 2x3 cm mounted on Micropore tape and held in place with Coban elastic bandage.
After 24 hours, the dressing was removed and the residual test item removed with a tissue moistened with tap-water. The treated skin areas were assessed for irritation 24 and 48 hours after removal of the bandage. After the 24 hour skin assessment the treated areas where re-shaved.
MAIN STUDY
INDUCTION
- No. of exposures: 9
- Exposure period: 6 hours, after each exposure period residual test item was removed with a tissue moistened with tap-water.
- Test group: test item
- Control group: vehicle
- Site of application: the scapula region (left side), prior to each application the skin was clipped
- Frequency of applications: Days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentration: 50% (w/w)
- Method of application: The test item suspended in corn oil was applied to skin under a piece of metalline (2 x 3 cm) attached to aluminium foil by means of petrolatum, mounted on sleek tape which was kept in place by elastic bandage.
CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Days after last induction: 10
- Exposure period: 6 hours, after each exposure period residual test item was removed with a tissue moistened with tap-water.
- Test group: test item
- Control group: test item
- Site: Right flank, prior to application a 5 x 5 cm area was clipped and shaved.
- Concentration: 25% (w/w)
- Method of application: In a similair way as in the induction phase.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings.
The control animals were treated equally with omission of the test item
OTHER OBSERVATIONS
- Mortality: Once daily.
- Clinical signs: Once Daily.
- Body weights: During acclimatisation and at termination of the study. - Challenge controls:
- Not performed
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- 0.5% (w/w) formaldehyde in milli-RO water
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The sensitivity check with the positive control was perfomed on April 1990.
Clear positive results were observed in the animals after an induction and challenge phase with 1.0% and 0.5% (w/w) formaldehyde in milli-RO respectively. A sensitisation rate of 35% was obtained. The sensitivity check with formaldehyde indicates that the Himalayan strain of guinea pig is an appropriate animal model for the performance of studies designed to evaluate the sensitising
potential of a substance.

INTERPRETATION
The results evident in test animals at the challenge application(s) were compared with the results evident in control animals.
A positive skin reaction would have been considered a sign of sensitisation, provided that such reactions were not observed in the control group.
The readings after the challenge applications were compared to assess the sensitisation rate i.e. the number of sensitised animals in proportion to the total number of animals of the experimental group.
OTHER RESULTS
Results of the primary irritation study: Based on the results, a test item concentration of 50% (w/w) and 25% (w/w) in corn oil were selected for the induction phase and challenge phase respectively.
Induction phase: Three animals showed light erythema after the last epicutaneous induction exposure.
Challenge phase: One animal in the control group showed red spots on the right flank in the second reading.
- Mortality / systemic toxicity
No mortallity occurred and no symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals.
- Bodyweights
Body weight gain of the test and control group was similair.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In a Buehler-Test, performed according to OECD guideline 406, an epicutaneous exposure of 25% (w/w) MDI/CHA/ODA caused no sensitization reaction to guinea pig skin in the challenge phase (sensitization rate of 0%). Based on these results, the test substance is not classified as skin sensitizing according to the GHS and CLP criteria.
