- RANGE FINDING TESTS
In a dose range finding test, one animal was subjected to injections of 0.1 mL volume with the following concentrations: 0, 1, 2.5, and 5 %. Each concentration was injected twice. The injection sites were evaluated 24 and 48 hours post injection. 2.5 and 5 % test substance formulation induced a white area encircled with erythema (1 cm). 1 % test substance formulation caused erythema of 0.5 cm size. Based on these observations 1 % was selected as intradermal induction concentration.
Further, four animals were topically treated with 0.5 mL of undiluted test substance. None of the animals was diagnosed with erythema or edema 48 and 72 hours post application. Based on these observations the undiluted test substance was applied for topical induction.
Similarly, a dose range finding study in five animals resulted in no findings 48 and 72 hours after topical application of the undiluted test substance. Therefore, undiluted test substance was used for the challenge dose.

Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The reliability of the guinea pig maximisation test was tested in the laboratory with the positive control substance 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, formulated in physiological saline, once per year.
In May 1992, male guinea pigs were subjected to the guinea pig maximisation test with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole. Intradermal induction was performed with a 2.5 %, topical induction with a 40 % positive control substance formulation. After the first provocation with 40 % or 12 % substance formulation, 80 % or 55 % of the test animals reacted with skin lesions, respectively. At the second provocation with 3 % and 1 % substance formulation, 15 % of the test animals showed skin findings each. In the control groups skin redness occurred after no provocation.
In July 1993, the experiment was repeated with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and the same induction concentrations. As a result, 80 % and 65 % of the test animals reacted to the first provocation with 40 % and 25 % substance formulation and after the second provocation with 12 % and 6 % substance formulation 80 % and 75 % of the test animals, respectively. In the control group, no reaction (no skin redness) was observed.
Sensitivity and reliability of the maximization test methodology are thus confirmed by both studies.
In the results table under "Results and discussion" only the values of the positive control study performed in July 1993 are included.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Following intradermal and topical induction with the test substance, challenge of the treated animals resulted in 50 % positive reactions when applying the test substance at 100 %, and 15 % positive reactions at a test substance concentration of 50 %; controls were negative. Positive control data prove the validity of the method and suitability of the test system. Based on these results, the test substance is considered a skin sensitizer and warrants classification and labelling as Cat. 1, H 317, based on GHS criteria.
