RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The concentrations of the test compound for induction and challenge periods were determined on separate animals.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: two (intradermal and epicutaneous)
- Test groups: three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) into the neck of the guinea-pigs with a mixture of adjuvant and saline, with the test compound in sesame oil and with the test compound in the adjuvant saline mixture. One week later the test article was incorporated in vaseline and applied on a filterpaper patch to the neck of the animals epicutaneously for 48 hours.
- Control group: treated with the vehicles alone
- Site: neck
- Concentrations: 1% for intradermal injection and 30% for epidermal application

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: Two weeks after the epidermal induction application the animals were tested on the flank with in vaseline
- Control group: treated with the vehicles alone
- Site: flank
- Concentrations: 30%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings the challenge reactions were graded according the Draize scoring scale
Challenge controls:
Vehicle only
Positive control substance(s):
no

Any other information on results incl. tables

One animal died during the performance of the test. The death of the animal can not related to the compound application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No animal was sensitized by the test item under the experimental conditions employed and the test item can, therefore, be classified to the lowest sensitization grade according to Magnusson and Kligman (Appendix 2)
Executive summary:

In order to investigate the sensitization potential of the test item a maximization test according to Magnusson and Kligman was peformed using 10 male and 10 female guinea-pigs. Two intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) were made into the neck of the guinea-pigs with a mixture of adjuvant and saline, with the test compound in sesame oil and with the test compound in the adjuvant saline mixture. One week later was incorporated in vaseline and applied on a filterpaper patch to the neck of the animals (occlusive administration for 48 hours). Two weeks after the epidermal induction application the animals were tested on the flank with in vaseline (24 h occlusive application). Twenty-four hours after removing the dressings the challenge reactions were graded according the Draize scoring scale. The application sites were chemically depilated 3 hours before examination (Veet, 5 minutes) per group. A control group was treated with the vehicles alone (negative control). One animal died during the performance of the test. The death of the animal can not related to the compound application. No animal reacted after the challenge application and the test itel can therefore be classified to the lowest sensitization grade of Magnusson and Kligman.
