- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
On the basis of the preliminary investigations the doses for the main study were chosen.
The intradermal irritancy of the test article was investigated in order to find the minimal irritant test article concentration for the intradermal induction using intradermal injections as in the main study. The following test item concentrations were tested: 0.63 %, 1.25 %, 2.5 %, and 5 % in oleum arachidis.
The topical irritancy of the test article was investigated in order to find the minimal irritant test article concentration for the dermal induction and the maximum non-irritating test article concentration for the challenge application using procedures similar to the main study. The following test item concentrations were tested: 25 %, 50 %, and 100 %.
Results:
intradermal injection: a very discrete erythema was observed following intradermal injection of the four concentrations.
topical application: no erythema was observed following closed patch application, neither on the back nor on the flanks.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal injection and dermal application)
- Site: area of dorsal skin 4 x 6 cm in the scapular region was clipped free of pair with an electric clipper.
- Frequency of applications: three pairs of intradermal injections were given once and 6 days later the same site was treated with approximately 0.5 g sodium lauryl sulphate (10% in petrolatum) to provoke a mild inflammatory reaction. 24 hours later 0.4 mL of the test item was topically applied to the skin using a patch.
- Exposure period: 48 hours (dermal application)
- Concentrations:
Test animals:
Intradermal:
i) 0.1 mL FCA diluted 1:1 with sterile distilled water
ii) 0.1 mL test article in oleum arachidis (final concentration: 5 % (w/w))
iii) 0.1 mL test article and FCA in the ratio 1:1 (final concentration: 10 % (w/w))
Topical application:
100 % test material
Control animals:
Intradermal injection:
i) 0.1 mL FCA diluted 1:1 with sterile distilled water
ii) 0.1 mL oleum arachidis
iii) 0.1 mL oleum arachidis and FCA in the ratio 1:1 (w/w)
Topical application:
oleum arachidis

- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The substance is not a skin sensitiser.
According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations, the substance does not require classification as skin sensitiser. - Executive summary:
The skin sensitisation potential of the substance was investigated according to the guinea pig maximization test (OECD guideline 406 (1992)) using 10 Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs. A control group of 5 animals were run concurrently.
The treatment regime involved an intradermal induction (5 % of the substance in oleum arachidis Ph. Eur. 2nd) and a topical induction (100 % of the substance; occlusive dressing, exposure period: 48 hours). The day before topical induction the skin was treated with 10% sodium lauryl sulfate in petrolatum. The control animals were treated with oleum arachidis during the intradermal induction and the topical induction.
Both control and test animals were subjected to a topical challenge exposure (test item concentration: 100 % of the substance, occlusive dressing, exposure period: 24 hours) three weeks after the intradermal induction. Administration sites were examined for erythema and oedema formation at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the test item application and scored according to the Magnusson and Kligman grading scale.
The sensitisation rate of the test item was 0 % at 24 hours and at 48 hours after patch removal.The test item is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.
According to the EC-Regulation 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations, the test substance is not classified as skin sensitiser.
Reference
Induction
Intradermal injections of Freund's complete adjuvant mixed with test article extract or vehicle elicited skin irritation. No skin reactions were observed following the intradermal and dermal induction with the extracts.
The intradermal injections gave a discrete erythema using 5 % test article in Oleum arachidis. No skin reactions were observed following dermal induction using 100 % test article.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin sensitisation
The substance does not possess a skin sensitisation potential and does not require classification as skin sensitiser according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations.
