Any other information on results incl. tables
In the first study (106/031),
at the challenge with undiluted (100%)
test substance in both the test and the control animals
effects of skin irritation were observed. Since these
effects were observed in both test (8/10) and control (3/5) animals and
no effects whatsoever were observed in both test and control
animals at the challenge concentration of 75% it was
concluded that owing to the irritancy of the 100% test
material no sensitisation responses could be determined in
the 100% group. In the 75% challenge concentration no signs
of irritation were observed. The test material was therefore
concluded not to cause sensitisation.
In the second report (106/050) it was, however, concluded that in the first study (106/031) 2/10 test animals showed a more severe reponse than the other animals and controls did. One of these two was killed for humane reasons 24 h after challenge (so that no data were available at 48 h).
As 5/10 (50%) of the animals showed slight skin reactions in the second study (106/050) at a challenge of 100% both at 24 h and 48 h after challenge, whereas controls did not, it was concluded that the overall sensitisation rate from these two studies was 7/20 (35%). Positive control group showed a 100% response to 2 -Mercaptobenzothiazole.
Signs of irritation during induction:
- Intradermal induction: Well defined to moderate to severe
erythema observed in all test group animals.
- Topical induction: Very slight to well-defined erythema with
very slight oedema was noted in all test group animals at
the 1 hour observation. In twelve test group animals very
slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the induction
sites after 24 hours.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Category 1B Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- It was concluded from 2 independent studies that the overall sensitisation rate was 35%, therefore requiring classification. However, based on the fact that challenge reactions were only observed when using the undiluted test substance (which is irritating), that these reactions were moderate and also seen in controls, and not observed at a concentration of 75%, it can also be concluded that the test substance is a weak sensitiser, if at all.
- Executive summary:
It was concluded from independent studies that the overall sensitisation rate was 35%, therefore requiring classification. However, based on the fact that challenge reactions were only observed when using the undiluted test substance (which is irritating), that these reactions were moderate and also seen in controls, and not observed at a concentration of 75%, it can also be concluded that the test substance is a weak sensitiser, if at all.
