TEST ANIMALS
- Source:Center of Experimental Animals,AMS, Beijing
- Weight at study initiation: 250-300 g
- Acclimation period: 5 days


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22-25 °C
- Humidity (%): 60-70%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hour of light and 12 hour of dark

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Route:
intradermal and epicutaneous
Vehicle:
physiological saline
Concentration / amount:
Three pairs of intradermal injection of 0.1 mL were given in the test area. The component and concentration of the test subtance were given as below:



Day 0 indution:Intradermal injections
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/Physiological saline
Injection 2: 25%(v/v) of test substance in the Physiological saline
Injection 3: 25%(v/v) of the test substance in the 1:1 mixture (v/v) of the FCA/Physiological saline

Day 6 Induction: topical application

Because the substance is not a skin irritant, 0.5 mL of 10% sodium lauryl sulphate in Vaseline was painted on the again clipped test area in order to creat a local irritation.
Adequacy of induction:
non-irritant substance, but skin pre-treated with 10% SDS
Challenge
No.:
#1
Route:
epicutaneous, semiocclusive
Vehicle:
physiological saline
Concentration / amount:
12.5% v/v test substance in physiological saline( 0.2 mL)
Day(s)/duration:
24 hours
Adequacy of challenge:
highest non-irritant concentration
No. of animals per dose:
10
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Erythema and oedema was observed in every animal of positive control group, and the sensitisation rate was 100%.

Any other information on results incl. tables

There were no erythema, oedema and other skin changed observed in treated and negative control groups after two induction and one challenge exposures.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the study, the test item was considered as non-sensitisation.
Executive summary:

In the skin sensitization study according to TG OECD 406, 40 male adult puinea pigs were applied with  test material(10 animals/group), positive control substance(10 animals/group) and negative control substance(10 animals/group) . There were no erythema, oedema and other skin changed observed in treated and negative control groups after two induction and one challenge exposures. The sensitisation rate was 0%. Under the above test conditions, the substance was considered as not sensitisation.
