Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Buehler's method with modifications on duration of exposition (24h, not 6h), number of treated animals (10, not 20)
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of study:
- other: Buehler's method with modifications
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- An old study on guinea pigs was performed before REACH regulation. No new study on animals was performed after REACH regulation.

- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
-Method = 2 guinea pigs were used to study the skin irritation potential for each compound, preparations of 0.5, 5, 5 and 10% being used to determine the threshold irritation concentration (TIC). 24h before testing, the hair on the flank was shaved. About 0.1 g of each compound was applied to gauze pads (6 layers) of 1.5 cm² dimension. Dermicel was wrapped around the bodies of the animals. Self-adhering foam pads were then applied over the choth tape and secured to the animals' flanks. 24h after application, the test materials were removed. Readings were performed at 1, 24 and 48h after removal of the test substance.
-Result = 5 and 10% concentrations of DTDM produced irritant reactions. The reaction intensity of the 5% preparation, however, was much weaker than of the 10% preparation. The 5% concentration of DTDM resulted in at least a minimal amount of erythema.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1A (indication of significant skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- When a 2 % concentration of DTDM was used for the challenge, 100% of the animals reacted to DTDM. With 0.5% concentration, there were 80%.
- Executive summary:
In a modified Buehler's test, group of 10 rats were exposed to 4, 4'-dithiodimorpholine at 5% in petrolatum during the induction period and were challenged with concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 or 2% in petrolatum. Sensitizing reactions were observed in 1, 8 and 10 animals, respectively.
