Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
According to OECD 429 test method, the SI at 25% and 50% are 7.4 and 6.8 respectively. The EC3 value of Everzol Red CDN Crude was 12.3%. Therefore, Everzol Red CDN Crude was category 1 based on GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

This test using the procedures outlined in the NOTOX Study Plan for 487479. The results of this OECD 429 test for Everzol Red CDN Crude show that test reliability criteria was met. Based on the results of preliminary study, a 50% concentration was selected as the highest concentration that could be used in the main study. In the main study, three group of five experimental animals were treated with test substance concentrations of 10%, 25% or 50% on three consecutive days, by open application on the ears. Five vehicle control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle alone (Propylene glycol). Three days after the last exposure, all animals were injected with H-methyl thymidine and after five hours the draining (auricular) lymph nodes were excised. After precipitating the DNA of the lymph node cells, radioactivity measurements were performed. The activity was expressed as the number of DPM and SI was subsequently calculated for each group.

The results indicated that no skin reactions were observed in any of the animals examined and no scoring for erythema was possible due to red staining by the test substance. Enlarged nodes were found in higher dose groups. Body weights and bodyweight gain of experimental animals remained in the same range as control over the study period. No mortality occurred and no symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals of the main study. Mean DPM/animal value for the experimental groups treated with concentrations 10, 25 and 50 % Everzol Red CDN Crude were 507, 1684 and 1554 respectively. On the basis of the test results given above, the SI at 25% and 50% are 7.4 and 6.8 respectively. The EC3 value of Everzol Red CDN Crude was 12.3%.
