Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1 Feb - 22 Apr 1994
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP guideline study with acceptable restrictions; no data on positive controls, challenge on both flanks

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
adopted in 1992
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
no data on positive controls, challenge on both flanks
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A non-LLNA test is available that was performed prior to the current data requirements, stipulated in Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. In accordance with the same Regulation, the data was included to avoid unnecessary testing.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Yes
Evaluation of dermal effects was done by treating 3 animals with vehicle, 12.5%, 25%, 50% or 100% of the test substance and observation of irritating effects 24 h and 48 h after treatment. Since no skin reaction was seen at all tested concentrations up to 100%, the test substance was used as 100% for induction and further for challenge.
