No. of animals per dose:
Preliminary study : 5 females, Experimental group: 20 females, Control group : 10 females
Details on study design:
The vehicle control group was composed of 10 female Himalayan albino  
guinea pigs.  The triethylenediamine treated group was composed of 20 
females.  1.0 % triethylenediamine in physiological saline was the 
concentration selected for the intradermal induction dose. 25%  
triethylenediamine in distilled water was the concentration selected for 
the epidermal induction dose.  10% triethylenediamine in distilled water 
was the concentration selected for the first challenge dose. 
5%  triethylenediamine in distilled water was the concentration selected for 
the second challenge dose.
Challenge controls:
The test and control guinea pigs were challenged two weeks after the epidermal induction application. Hair was clipped and shaved from a 5 x 5 cm area on the left flank of each guinea pig. A volume of 0.05 m l of each of the following three test substance concentrations and the vehicle were applied using square chambers attached to Micropore tape:
a = 10 % (w/w) in distilled water.
b = 5 % (w/w) in distilled water.
c = 2 % (w/w) in distilled water.
d = distilled water.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Formaldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Clearly positive results were observed i n the experimental animals after the challenge with 0.25% (wlw) FORMALDEHYDE in distilled water.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the vehicle control group, no positive reactions were evident after  the first

 and second challenge application.  
In the positive control group (0.25% formaldehyde in distilled water),  positive 

reactions were evident after the challenge application.  

A 60%  sensitization rate was observed in the positive control group.
The epidermal exposure of DABCO Triethylenediamine in the induction phase 

resulted in severe skin irritation. 

The epidermal exposure of DABCO Triethylenediamine in the second challenge  

phase resulted in no positive sensitization reactions in response to the  

test article concentrations.
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study. No mortality occurred during the study.
The average body weight gain of experimental and control animals was unaffected by treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions used in this study, DABCO Triethylenediamine induced no sensitization.
