Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, test substance did not produce any evidence of delayed contact hypersensitivity and was therefore considered non-sensitising.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitisation potential of the test substance, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. DEA, according to OECD Guideline 406 using guinea pig maximisation assay. The procedure consisted of two parts: induction and challenge exposures. For induction, three sets of intradermal injections were given (0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant; 0.1 mL of a 5% solution of test substance in propylene glycol, and 0.1 mL of a 1:1 mix of Freund's adjuvant and 5% test substance). One week after the injections, a 5% test solution was placed on the skin over the injection sites via an occlusive patch and left for 48 h. This was followed by a re-challenge: 14 days after the cutaneous exposure, 25% test substance in vaseline was placed on the skin of the right flank (open application). Under the study conditions, test substance did not produce any evidence of delayed contact hypersensitivity and was therefore considered non-sensitising (Potokar, 1982).
