Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Housing: A maximum of 4 mice was housed per cage, in cages suitable for animals of this strain and weight range.
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days
:

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/-3°C
- Humidity (%): 30-70 %
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): Artificial, giving 12 hours light, 12 hours dark
Vehicle:
other: 25% ethanol/75% DEP
Concentration:
1%, 3%, 10%, 30% or 50% wlv
No. of animals per dose:
4
Details on study design:
A sample of Material D (DL hydroxycitronellal) was assessed for its skin sensitisation potential using the mouse Local Lymph Node Assay. The assay determines the level of T lymphocyte proliferation in the lymph nodes draining the site of chemical application, by measuring the amount of radiolabelled thymidine incorporated into the dividing cells. The test substance was applied as 1%, 3%, 10%, 30% or 50% wlv preparations in Material G (25% ethanon5% DEP). The estimated concentration giving rise to a 3 fold increase in lymphocyte proliferation was calculated (EC3).
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Positive control results:
The application of hexylcinnamaldehyde at concentrations of I%, 3% and 10% wlv in acetone resulted in a greater than 3-fold increase in isotope incorporation at the 3% and 10% W/V concentrations. Therefore, hexylcinnamaldehyde was shown to be a skin sensitiser, confirming the validity of the protocol used for the study.

Cellular proliferation data / Observations:
The application of the test item at concentrations of 1%, 3% 10%,30% and 50% wlv in vehicle resulted in an increase in isotope incorporation which was greater than 3-fold at the 30% and 50% wlv concentrations. Consequently, the test substnace in the vehicle was shown to be a potential skin sensitiser. The estimated concentration giving rise to a 3 fold increase in lymphocyte proliferation (EC3) was 19.33% wlv.

Animals were checked at least once for signs of systemic toxicity.

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the test substance in 25% ethanol/75% DEP is a skin sensitiser under the conditions of the test, with an EC concentration of 19.33% wlv.
