Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Guinea Pig Maximisation test method. Furthermore, the LLNA test method is not considered to be suitable for fatty alcohols. Please refer to the attached document for further details.

RESULTS OF RANGE FINDING TEST:

Following intradermal injection significant skin irritation was seen at concentrations of 5 and 10% persisting for 72 hours. The 3% concentration showed evidence of irritation at 24 hours only. Following topical application the undiluted material was irritant up to 48 hours, 2/4 guineapigs showed irritation at 10% while there was  no evidence of irritation with the 3% concentration.

RESULTS OF TEST
- Rechallenge: Not required.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a reliable study, conducted to OECD guideline 406, Kalcol 2098 was not a skin sensitiser in guinea pigs. The study was performed in compliance with GLP.
