- Conclusions:
- The guinea-pig maximization test found that 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol (neat and 50% in water) did not elicit a delayed contact hypersensitivity response in guinea pigs. Appropriate concurrent negative controls were included and the expected responses observed.
Reference
No adverse skin reactions were noted at the test material or vehicle control sites of the test or control animals at 24, 48 and 72 h observations.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
One Kligman-Magnusson Maximisation test with guinea pigs (Sahra A., Allan (1995)) is available, performed under GLP and in accordance with an appropriate EU test method. The guinea pigs in the sensitisation maximization test undergo an intradermal induction stage, followed by a topical induction stage, and a subsequent challenge period. During the intradermal induction stage, three pairs of intradermal injections were made within a clipped area: 1. Freundsche's complete adjuvant (FCA) diluted with water; 2. the test article 5% (v/v) in water as vehicle 3 and the test article 5% (v/v) in water with FCA and positive control. One week later 0.4 ml of the neat test substance was applied topically for 48 hours. Fourteen days after topical induction, the animals were challenged with neat test article and test article in 50 % (v/v) in distilled water, vehicle control or control under occluded patches for 24 hours. The challenge sites were evaluated 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patches.
No irritation was observed after the challenge with neat test article and with test article 50 %(v/v) in water,except for transient slight erythema and oedema on the animals at the intradermal inductions with 5% (v/v) test article in water on the animals. Based on these results, 3 -methylpentane-1,5 -diol is considered not to have a skin sensitising potential.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
Justification for selection of respiratory sensitisation endpoint:
No data on respiratory sensitization are available. However, in accordance with Section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the study is scientifically unjustified, as respiratory tract sensitization is not expected based on the fact that 3-methylpentane-1,5-diol is not skin sensitizer and no human data are available indicating a concern for respiratory sensitization.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the absence of skin sensitizing effect in a Kligman-Magnusson-Maximisation study with guinea pigs and the lack of data indicating respiratory sensitization by 3 -methylpentane-1,5 -diol, the substance is considered to be not sensitising according to Directive 67/548/EEC and EU Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
