Description of key information
The skin sensitisation potential of the test item octadecanedioic acid, 1,18-dimethyl ester (ODDAME)has been read-across from the substance 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester (9DAME) from the following study:
A study was performed to assess the skin sensitisation potential of the test item in the CBA/Ca strain mouse following topical application to the dorsal surface of the ear, according to OECD Guideline 429, in compliance with GLP. Three groups, each of four animals, were treated with 50 μL (25 μL per ear) of the undiluted test item (100%) or the test item as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at concentrations of 50% or 25% v/v. A further group of four animals was treated with acetone/olive oil 4:1 alone. The Stimulation Index expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for each treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group were 1.6.1, 3.02 and 2.42 for concentrations of 25%, 50% and 100%, respectively. The test item returned a borderline response under the conditions of
the test. An expert review of these study results (Basketter, 2012) indicated that 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester (9DAME) does not contain any structural alerts for reactivity associated with skin sensitisation and is a long chain unsaturated fatty acid. Published work has indicated that unsaturated fatty acids have the potential to generate false positive results in the LLNA. Several long chain unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, have proven to be positive in the LLNA but were clear negatives in guinea pig maximisation test conducted in parallel, an outcome which was consistent with their absence of skin sensitising effects in humans. Based upon the above considerations, the very borderline nature of the single positive result and the absence of a dose response in this test it is feasible that a false positive result may have been obtained and hence 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester (9DAME) is not considered to be a skin sensitiser (Harlan Laboratories Ltd, 2012). Based on the results of the read across study, a similar result can be expected for the test item.

Justification for classification or non-classification
The skin sensitisation potential of the test item octadecanedioic acid, 1,18-dimethyl ester (ODDAME) has been read-across from the substance 9 -decenoic acid, methyl ester. In a local lymph node assay performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 429, 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester (9-DAME) was found to elicit a borderline response. However, based on the fact that the test material does not contain any structural alerts for reactivity associated with skin sensitisation, the absence of a dose response, and that previously published work indicates that long chain unsaturated fatty acids have the potential to generate false positive results in the LLNA, this result is considered to be a false positive. Therefore, 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester is not considered to be a skin sensitiser. As such, the substance octadecanedioic acid, 1,18-dimethyl ester (ODDAME) is also considered not to be a sensitiser according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
