- RANGE FINDING TESTS
The objective of this investigation was to identify irritant test article concentrations suitable for the induction phase of the main study. In addition, a suitable non-irritant concentration of the test article, by the topical route of administration, was identified for the challenge application.
Any systemic toxic effects may also be detected in the primary irritation experiments.
Intradermal injections
Four intradermal injections (0.1 ml/site) were made into the clipped shoulder region of one guinea pig at a concentration of 5 % (w/w) of the test article in milli-RO water. The resulting dermal reactions were assessed 24 hours later.
Epidermai appiications
The intracutaneousiy injected animal was also treated epicutaneousiy at the shaved left fiank with 0.5 mi of a 50 % concentration of the test articie in milli-RO water using a Metaliine patch mounted on Micropore and heid in place with Coban for 24 hours. The treated skin was assessed for erythema 24 and 48 hours after removai of the dressings on a numericai basis.
Four animals were shaved on the left fiank and exposed for 24 hours to 50 %, 25 %, 10 % and 5 % (w/w) test articie concentrations in milli-RO water (0.05 ml/concentration), occlusively administered by means of Square chambers mounted on Micropore. The bandage was fixed in place by means of Cuban. The reaction sites were assessed for erythema on a numericai basis, 24 and 48 hours after removai of the dressings.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Intradermal application
On day 1 an area of the dorsal skin from the scapular region (approximately 6 x 8 cm) was clipped free of hair. Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml/site) were made at the border of a 4 x 6 cm area in the clipped region as follows:
A) The test article dissolved to 5 % (wlw) with aqua dest (pyrogene free)
B) Freunds’ Complete Adjuvant, 50:50 with distilled water for injection
C) The test article, at twice the concentration used in (A), emulsified in a 50:50 mixture of Freunds’ Complete Adjuvant.
Epidermal applications
Seven days after the intradermal injections, the scapular area (approximately 6 x 8 cm) was again clipped and shaved free of hair. A 2 x 4 cm patch of Metalline mounted on Micropore was treated with 0.5 ml of the test article (25 % (wlw) in milli-RO water) and placed over the injection sites of the test animals. The Micropore tape was firmly secured, wrapped around the trunk of the animal and secured with Cuban. The dressings were left in place for approximately 48 hours.
The epidermal application procedure described ensured intensive contact of the test article even if it is insoluble in the vehicle used.
The guinea pigs of the control group were treated as described above by the intradermal and epidermal inductions with the omission of test article.
Reaction sites were assessed for erythema immediately after removal of the dressings, using the numerical grading system.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
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. The following series of 3 test article concentrations and the vehicle were applied using Square chambers, attached to Micropore tape:
a = 10 % in milli-RO water
b = 5 % in milli-RO water
c = 2 % in milli-RO water
d = milli-RO water
Of each concentration and the vehicle, 0.05 ml was brought on the Square chamber. The patch was placed to the shaved area, the Micropore firmly secured, wound around the trunk of the animals and held in place by Coban.
The dressings and residual test article were removed after approximately 24 hours.
The sites were assessed for redness and swelling 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings, using the numerical grading system (modified from Kligman A.M., J. Invest. Dermatol. 47, 1966).
The test sites were shaved with an electric razor after the first reading. - Positive control substance(s):

- Executive summary:
The skin sesitization potential of the test substance was assayed following the method and testing procedures outlined into the OECD guideline 406, Guinea Pig Maximization Test. 35 female guinea pig were used: 10 females for the control group and 20 females for the experimental group; the remaining 5 animals were used for the primary irritation test, one week before the main study.
In accordance with Magnusson and Kilgman (1969) and based on the findings in the primary irritation experiments, the following concentrations were selected for the induction and challenge phase: intracutaneous induction at 5 % (w/w) in aqua dest and epicutaneous induction at 25 % (w/w) in milli-RO water; challenge at 0, 2, 5, and 10 % (w/w) in milli-RO water.
Under the experiment conditions, test item sensitization rate recorded was of 0 per cent, after intracutaneous and epicutaneous application to the guinea pig. 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 similar.
According to the results, the substamce is considered to have weak sensitising properties applying the rating of aliergenicity described by Kilgman A.M. (1966).

CHALLENGE
Control group: no positive skin reactions were evident after the challenge exposure.
Experimental group: none of the animals showed a positive reaction in response to any of the challenge concentrations.
TOXICITY SYMPTOMS / MORTALITY
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study. No mortality occurred during the study.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
There is no information about the skin sensitization potential of Direct Yellow 142, thus the available data on structural analogous Similar Substance 01 has been taken into account. The read across approach can be considered as reliable and adequate for the purpose; details and explanations are detailed in the report attached to the IUCLID section 13.
The skin sensitization potential of the Similar Substance 01 was assayed following the method and testing procedures outlined into the OECD guideline 406, Guinea Pig Maximization Test. In accordance with Magnusson and Kilgman (1969) and based on the findings in the primary irritation experiments, the following concentrations were selected for the induction and challenge phase: intracutaneous induction at 5 % (w/w) in aqua dest and epicutaneous induction at 25 % (w/w) in milli-RO water; challenge at 0, 2, 5, and 10 % (w/w) in milli-RO water. Under the experiment conditions, test item sensitization rate recorded was of 0 per cent, after intracutaneous and epicutaneous application to the guinea pig. 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 similar.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, 3.4 Respiratory or skin sensitisation section, skin sensitizer means a substance that will lead to an allergic response following skin contact.
Based on the Guinea Pig Maximisation Test (GPMT) results, a substance in considered a skin sensitizer when: equal or more than 30 % to 60 % responding at intradermal induction dose > 0.1 % to ≤ 1 %; or equal or more than 30 % responding at intradermal induction dose higher than 1 %.
In the GPMT a response lower than 30 % was recorded, responding to intracutaneous inductionn dose of 5 %.
In conclusion, Direct Yellow 142 does not meet the criteria to be classified as skin sensitizer, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
