Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
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.

Any other information on results incl. tables

RESULTS OF PILOT STUDY: Minimal erythema at 24 and 48 hours after 48 hour topical exposure, no irritation at these time periods after a 24 hour 

topical application. Well defined erythema (grade 2) at 24, 48 and 72 hours post injection reducing to slight erythema (grade 1) at 7 days.

RESULTS OF TEST
- Sensitization reaction: No positive responses with 25% or 50% challenge concentrations in test or control groups at 24 or 48 hours. 0/10  treated and 

0/5 controls responded to challenge.
- Clinical signs: Body weights and weight gain over the observation period were comparable in test and control groups. Well-defined erythema was 

noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group animals at 24 and 48hours. Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the 

intradermal sites of the control group at 24 and very slight erythema at 3 sites at 48 hours.
Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the induction sites of six test group animals at the 1 hour mark. No skin reactions were noted at 

the induction sites of any test group animals at the 24 hour mark.
- Rechallenge: Not carried out.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Kalcol 8098 is not a skin sensitiser when tested using the Magnusson and Kligman guinea pig maximization procedure.

Executive summary:

In a skin sensitisation study, 1 % of test material in arachis oil was injected intracutaneously at day 1 from the study period in 10 guinea pigs (intradermal induction phase). At induction phase, 50 % of test material in arachis oil was applied epicutaneously onto the skin of the test animals and kept in contact to the skin under occlusive dressing for 48 hours.

Following challenge exposure (at day 21), 25 and 50 % of test material in arachis oil was applied onto the same test area and kept under occlusive dressing fro 24 hours.

No positive responses with 25% or 50% challenge concentrations in test or control groups at 24 or 48 hours. 

Body weights and weight gain over the observation period were comparable in test and control groups. Well-defined erythema was 

noted at the intradermal induction sites of all test group animals at 24 and 48hours. Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the 

intradermal sites of the control group at 24 and very slight erythema at 3 sites at 48 hours.
Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the induction sites of six test group animals at the 1 hour mark. No skin reactions were noted at 

the induction sites of any test group animals at the 24 hour mark. The test material was reported to be not sensitising under the conditions of the study. The study was conducted according to the appropriate OECD guideline and in compliance with GLP.
