Skin sensitisation
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:

- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 6th March 2017- 17th April 207
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Remarks:
- OECD 406
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- Deviations:
- no

- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- LLNA frequently gives false positives for irritating substances therefore Buehler test was used. The testing will also be submitted to other regulatory agencies that do not accept LLNA testing.
- Species:
- guinea pig
- Strain:
- Hartley
- Sex:
- female
- Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
- All animals were acclimated for at least five days. Animals were individually housed in wire mesh suspension cages. The animals were maintained on a 12-hour cycle light controlled room, at a temperature of 64° - 79°F and a relative humidity of 30-70%. The animals were maintained according to the recommendations contained in the National Academy Press 2011: “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.” The animals were supplied Purina Guinea Pig Chow and tap water ad libitum during both acclimation and test periods. Tox Monitor Laboratories has daily access to feed analysis; water analysis from the city of Chicago is on file. There were no contaminants in either the feed or the water that would be expected to affect the outcome of this study.

- No. of animals per dose:
- 20 animalswere used for Induction and challenge test.
- Details on study design:
- The test substance was tested for dermal sensitization potential utilizing a Buehler Technique Guinea Pig Sensitization Protocol. The test substance was evaluated for sensitization potential by applying 0.4 gm at a 100% concentration directly into Hilltop Chambers® and applying them to the clipped left shoulder of twenty albino guinea pigs in the following manner: The animals were held gently, and the chambers were applied as quickly as possible to the clipped left shoulder. The chambers were secured with Micropore tape and further secured with Kendall adhesive tape. Approximately six hours later, the tape and chambers were removed. Two additional induction doses were conducted following the same procedure, at weekly intervals. Two weeks after the final application the animals received a topical primary challenge dose (6 hour contact) of Test substance at 100% concentration, on a naive site located on the right shoulder. Animals were scored for irritation at 24 and 48 hours after initiation of the primary challenge application. Ten guinea pigs served as a naive control group, and remained untreated through the induction phase.
- Challenge controls:
- Six naive control animals received only the primary challenge dose, at a 100% concentration. The four remaining guinea pigs were designated for a re-challenge, if necessary.

- Conclusions:
- Following primary challenge of the test substance, at 100% concentration, the incidence of grade 1 response or greater in the test group (0 of 20) was compared to that of the naive control group (0 of 6). The incidence and severity of these responses were not significantly greater than those produced by the naive control group indicating that sensitization had not been induced.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Justification for classification or non-classification
The study has been conducted in accordance with the OECD 406 and has been considered when determining the skin sensitization endpoint of the test material. This key study was used for classifiaction purposes in accordance with the criteria set in the CLP guidiance document. The Test substance was identified to be non irritating at 100%. The 100% dose of the test substance was used for the induction and challenge phase of the study. Following primary challenge of the test substance at 100% concentration, the incidence of grade 1 response or greater in the test group (0 of 20) was compared to that of the naive control group (0 of 6). The incidence and severity of these responses were not significantly greater than those produced by the naive control group indicating that sensitization had not been induced.
Therefore the test substacne does not meet the criteria for skin sensitization in accordance with the creteria set forth in the CLP guidiance document.
