Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test material Disodium EDTA (CAS no: 139-33-3) was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs when injected intracutaneous.
Executive summary:

Skin sensitization study of Disodium EDTA (CAS no: 139-33-3) was assessed in five male guinea pigs to determine its sensitization potential by using intracutaneous application.

 

During induction, each guinea pig revied 0.1 ml and then 9 volumes of 0.2 ml Disodium EDTA intacutaneously on alternate days. After 2 weeks of last induction injection, animals were challenged intradermally with 0.1ml of Disodium EDTA for 24 hours. Skin reactions were evaluated after 24 hours.

 

None of the guinea pig had showed any signs of allergic reaction. Therefore Disodium EDTA (CAS no: 139-33-3) was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs when injected intracutaneous.
