No. of animals per dose:

control animals: 10
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Determination of the non-irritant concentration of the test substance with occlusive epicutaneous applications for 6 hours of test substance 5%, 25% and 50% in VE-water and 100% (undiluted). Readings at 30 and 54 hours after start of application.
Redetermination of the maximum non-irritant concentration for the challenge treatment in the 4th week with 3 additional guinea pigs which had not been treated up to this time. The concentrations and test conditions were the same as in the pilot study. This additional testing was carried out because it was suspected that the sensitivity of the skin changed as the weight of the animals increased. This ensured that the challenge concentration was determined on animals which had approx. the same weights as the 30 animals in the challenge phase.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The read-across substance Coconut oil, reaction products of coconut fatty acid mono- or diglyceride with trimethylolpropaneethoxylate was investigated according to the Bühler-method with 20 test-animals and 10 control-animals. The dermal application during induction I, II and III lead not to irritation. After challenge with the undiluted test-substance no erythema or oedema were observed after 30 h and 54 h. Under the test conditions coconut oil, reaction products of coconut fatty acid mono- or diglyceride with trimethylolpropaneethoxylate showed no skin sensitation potential for guinea -pigs.

Additional information:

The read-across substance Coconut oil, reaction products of coconut fatty acid mono- or diglyceride with trimethylolpropaneethoxylate was investigated according to the Bühler-method with 20 test-animals and 10 control-animals. The dermal application during induction I, II and III lead not to irritation. After challenge with the undiluted test-substance no erythema or oedema were observed after 30 h and 54 h. Under the test conditions coconut oil, reaction products of coconut fatty acid mono- or diglyceride with trimethylolpropaneethoxylate showed no skin sensitation potential for guinea -pigs. It is likely that also the test substance is not skin sensitising because of the structural similarity (Please see Analogue Approach).

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on skin sensitisation do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC.
