MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Control group: yes: vehicle control (0.5 ml mineral oil) and positive control (0.5 ml 0.3% DNCB)
- Site: dorsal midline
- Frequency of applications: weekly
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: Undiluted for induction phases 1 and 2 and as a 1:2 v/v dilution in mineral oil for induction 3.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 13 days after last induction dose
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Control group: vehicle control (0.5 ml mineral oil) and positive control (0.5 ml 0.2% DNCB)
- Site: on the opposite side of the dorsal midline from the induction test site
- Concentrations: 1:4 v/v in mineral oil
- Evaluation (24 hr after challenge): based on the Draize scoring method
Challenge controls:
yes
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
dinitrochlorobenzene

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Challenge exposure for DNCB resulted in a significantly higher erythema and oedema responses than that observed in the naive challenge control group (10/10 animals; severity index 3.6 for both 24 and 48 hours).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under these test conditions E000014200 was not a delayed contact sensitiser.
Executive summary:

Male Hartley albino guinea pigs were dermally exposed to test article E000014200 (CAS 68475-80-9) neat at a volume of 0.5 mL for induction phases one and two and to a 1:2 v/v dilution (in mineral oil) for induction three. The test article was administered as a 1:4 v/v dilution (in mineral oil) for the challenge phase for both the induction/challenge and challenge control group animals.

Following challenge there were no responses in E000014200 or vehicle control animals whilst all 10 in the positive control group had responses.

E000014200 (CAS 68475-80-9) was not a delayed contact sensitiser and no classification is warranted under Dir 67/548/EEC or GHS/CLP.
