Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Females nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: 8 to 12 weeks old

- Housing: suspended solid floor polypropylene cages furnished with softwood flake bedding
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days
- Indication of any skin lesions: None indicated

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19 to 25
- Humidity (%): 30 to 70
- Air changes (per hr): At least fifteen
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours light / 12 hours dark

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
other: 1% Pluronic in distilled water
Concentration:
5, 10, and 25% (w/w)
No. of animals per dose:
4
Details on study design:
PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
- Compound solubility: Solubility was assessed in acetone / olive oil (4:1), dimethyl formamide, butanone, dimethyl sulphoxide, acetone, 1% Pluronic L92 in distilled water, ethanol / water (7:3) and propylene glycol. 1% pluronic in water was found to be the only solvent which formed a solution suitable for dosing.
- Irritation: A 25% solution of the test material in the vehicle was found not to cause local skin irritation (observation for 6 days after start of exposure)
- Systemic toxicity: No indication of systemic toxicity
- Ear thickness measurements: Mean change in ear thickness of 23.81% during the 6 days over which measurements were taken. As the change was less than 25% this was concluded not to indicate irritation
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

There were no deaths. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted in the test or control animals during the test.

Body weight change of the test animals between Day 1 and Day 6 was comparable to that observed in the corresponding control group animals over the same period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item was considered to be a sensitizer under the conditions of the test.
