Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A valid GPMT conducted according to guideline is available, which is reliable without restrictions and adequate for classification and labelling purposes. Potency estimation is not mandatory when existing guideline and GLP conforming data are available, which were conducted before the new annex of the REACH Regulation entered into force. Moreover, no indication for skin sensitisation was observed in this study, thus, no dose response information is needed. For this reason and for reasons of animal welfare no additional LLNA was conducted.

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Intra-dermal injection of 5, 2.5 and 1% of the test substance caused skin reactions. At a concentration of 0.5% test substance no skin reactions were observed.
Dermal applications of 50, 25 and 5% of the test substance showed skin reactions. No skin reactions were observed after the dermal application of the test article at a concentration of 1%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
DOPA-Glycinate was not a skin sensitizer in this GPMT test.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitizing potential of DOPA-Glycinate (100% a.i.) was tested in 10 Pirbright white Guinea pigs using the Guinea pig maximisation test, according to EC method B.6 (1996) and OECD guideline 406 (1992). The challenge concentration tested was 1% of the test item in petrolatum.

No deviations from the methods prescribed by the guideline were reported.

No allergic skin reactions occurred in test animals 24 and 48 h after the end of the challenge procedure with the test item at a concentration of 1% in petrolatum. The sensitisation rate was 0%.

Thus, DOPA-Glycinate was not a skin sensitizer in this GPMT test.
